Arizona Wilderness plans new brewery and taproom on the Miracle Mile

• Zach Fowle, the company's head of marketing, tells Axios Phoenix they'll likely start by setting up a brewery at the 10,000-square-foot building, and then they'll open the taproom and restaurant after that's finished.
• This will be their second brewery, following the original in Gilbert.

Yes, but: The team just started moving in equipment, and there's a lot of work before the brewery can open.

• Fowle says they hope to open the brewery in summer 2024 and the brewpub portion by the end of next year.

Between the lines: The Miracle Mile location will be under two miles from the Arizona Wilderness taproom in downtown Phoenix.

• Fowle says the Roosevelt Row spot is a European-style beer garden, while the Miracle Mile location will be a traditional taproom and restaurant catering to people who live and work in the area.
• The McDowell location won't have the same nightlife vibe as the downtown taproom, he says.
• It'll also be easier to transport beer to Roosevelt Row from the McDowell Road brewery than from Gilbert.
