If you’re exploring brewery options around Scottsdale, AZ, State 48 Lager House is an easy stop, especially if you enjoy a brewery that blends craft beer with a full restaurant.
State 48 Brewing was founded with a focus on creating beers inspired by Arizona (the 48th state) while creating a few different gathering spaces around the Phoenix area. The Lager House in Scottsdale has a community-focused vibe with tons of seating, TVs for games, and a big tap list featuring both lagers and experimental options.
What's On Tap?
State 48 is known for a wide lineup of beers, with a focus on simpler styles like lagers and IPAs. But if you enjoy sour beers, they had a couple worth checking out.
Worth a Try:
Sour Seduction - Fruited Sour 5.7% ABV
This was easily my favorite of the sour options. It’s a fruited kettle sour made with raspberry and passionfruit, then a bit of fresh vanilla beans. The result is a superb fruity flavor with a smoothness from the vanilla that balances out the tart.
It’s a sour that hits the middle ground just right - both mouth-puckering but still refreshing and easy to drink.
Cherry Sour - Fruited Sour 5% ABV
Another solid sour they made with 224 pounds of cherry juice, so it's got a bold cherry flavor and a crisp tartness. Cherry isn't one my go-to flavors, but this one was pretty good!
Drink Score: 3.5/5
Their tap list also features:
lagers and pilsners
hazy and West Coast IPAs
dark beers and seasonal releases
Food Finds
Unlike many breweries, State 48 Lager House runs a full kitchen, which makes it a great stop if you’re looking for both food and beer.
Menu options include:
burgers and sandwiches
wings and shareable appetizers
pizzas and comfort food favorites
salads and lighter options
We sampled a couple of apps - if you're a fan of deviled eggs, I highly recommend order a couple plates, they very tasty!
Food Score: 3.5/5
The Vibe Inside & Out
The vibe here is lively and social.
Inside there is:
a large bar area
TVs for watching sports
tables for groups and casual dining
Nice outdoor patio
2 levels of seating
It’s a place that feels equally comfortable for watching a game, grabbing dinner, or just meeting friends for beers.
The brewery also hosts events and specials throughout the week, which helps keep the energy up in the taproom.
I prefer the breweries that are a bit less modern and that have a unique personality, thought it was tasty, this felt a lot more like a restaurant to me!
Vibe Score: 2.5/5
Dog Friendly Details:
Patio only, as would be expected anywhere there's a full kitchen.
Score: 1/5
