Arizona, Days 9-10 (7/29-30/11)

Not much beer-related activity on the 29th, but on the 30th we drove to the Grand Canyon for two days of camping, and this opened up new vistas, beer-related and otherwise :-)

We stopped in Flagstaff for lunch at Buster's, which had a surprisingly comprehensive beer menu. Meagan and Rainer both had Moose Drool Brown Ale from Big Sky Brewing Co. in Montana, an excellent beer which we've had before and which has one of the best beer names on record!


Marlowe had Fraoch Heather Ale, a delicious beer from Williams Brothers Brewing that we've had before, but that we didn't expect to find in the middle of Arizona.


Upon arrival at the Grand Canyon, we did stock up on four large-size bottles of Lumberyard beers (a brewery in Flagstaff):

• Lumberyard Hefeweizen
• Lumberyard Imperial Red
• Lumberyard Red Ale
• Lumberyard I.P.A.

We were impressed with all four. I wish they had more dark options, but all of these light ones were delicious and refreshing. The Imperial Red was especially hoppy for a red (but that just means that Marlowe enjoyed it more :-)
