On Thursday, March 30, join Edible Baja Arizona and fourteen local craft breweries at Dragoon Brewing Co. for the fifth Baja Brews Tasting Event, featuring beers brewed with local citrus. Every eight weeks, Baja Arizona’s breweries are working with different locally originating ingredients to craft special beers just for the event.

All proceeds from the $15 donation benefit four amazing Tucson nonprofit organizations that are working to improve food security in our community:Desert Harvesters, Native Seeds/SEARCH, Iskashitaa Refugee Network, and Trees for Tucson.

You’ll be able to taste and enjoy fourteen locally produced and citrus-infused beers, talk with the brewers, and learn more about Tucson’s ever-growing craft beer scene—all while supporting the work of these great non-profits! This fifth event features a wide variety of brews and creations made with Arizona's incredible local citrus, such as Blood Oranges, Calamondin Limes, and Ruby Red Grapefruits.

Seis Kitchen and Catering will be at the tasting with their food truck to satiate your hunger with fresh seafood, steak, chicken, and veggie tacos. The tasting event runs from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and you can make your donation in advance by purchasing tickets on our website (bit.ly/bajabrews), or tickets may be purchased on the night of the event at the door, pending availability. Our last tasting event was sold-out, so purchasing tickets in advance is recommended.

The Baja Brews Project is a year-long collaboration between Edible Baja Arizona and the Baja Arizona region’s craft breweries. We want to explore, celebrate, and taste Baja Arizona’s extraordinary craft beer. Drink local!

ABV 5.1%, IBU 20

Borderlands Brewing Company

Dragoon Brewing Co.

Tasting notes: To be announced.

Iron John's Brewing Company
Beer: Smoke in the Orchard
Tasting notes: A smoked-apple Strong Ale. A contribution of apple cider concentrate and apple wood-smoked pilsner malt lay a base of delicate smoke character and fruit in this lightly hopped, medium bodied strong ale. Springtime aromatics from fresh orange blossoms and citrusy notes from pureed cholla cactus fruit make this a most unique beer. Malts: Pilsner, Honey, Applewood-smoked Pilsner, Dextrapils, Wheat; Hops: Challenger, Tettnang, Perle; Yeast: British Ale; Adjuncts: Apple cider concentrate, cholla cactus fruit, orange blossoms.
ABV 8.5%, IBU 20, SRM 6

Thunder Canyon Brewery
Beer: Citrus Maximus
Tasting notes: A Sonoran Desert IPA, supersaturated with the zest of a variety of hand harvested Sonoran Desert citrus.

1912 Brewing Co
Beer: Naughty Naranja Imperial Blood Orange Sour
Tasting notes: An amped up version of the 1000-year-old East German gose beer style. A nice citrus tartness, pleasant saltiness, with a subtle coriander finish.
ABV 8.5%, IBU 19

Catalina Brewing Company
Beer: Orange Dream
Tasting notes: Another recipe from our “wheat-guy” Eric Fairfield, this traditional American Wheat includes locally sourced BKW White Sonora wheat, a dose of orange zest, and is finished with the light touch of Blood Orange. A perfect blend, providing a slightly-higher ABV to take you to that “Orange Dream,” reminiscent of a long-ago drive down Orange Grove Road in the springtime!
ABV 6.1%, IBU 61

Public Brewhouse
Beer: Lemon Poppy
Tasting notes: Our Citruslicious IPA infused with local lemons.
ABV 7.7%

Sentinel Peak Brewing Company
Beer: Backyard Grove Grapefruit IPA
Tasting notes: An American-style IPA made with grapefruits taken directly from our backyard in Northwest Tucson, this beer is sweet and tart with a slight hoppy bitterness that is not overwhelming. It has a very clean finish and remains crisp and refreshing.
ABV 6.3%, IBU 65

Barrio Brewing Co.
Beer: Rae's Special Ruby Red
Tasting notes: Our Grapefruit IPA with a bit of a twist.

Pueblo Vida Brewing Company
Beer: Black Lime Saison with Calamondin Limes
