"Gilbert’s 12 West Brewing recently expanded to a second location, right on Main Street in rising downtown Mesa. Its brewers churn out an impressive and wide-ranging roster of staple beers, headlined by Zona (pilsner), Blap! Blap! (blood orange Belgian wheat beer), and K-LAX (New England-style IPA). Drinkers who enjoy sours tend to dig the brewery’s Cuvée Verdad series, a line of tall bottles filled with various takes on the puckering style that use mixed fermentations and many yeast strains." - Chris Malloy
