Arizona Wilderness

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. in Gilbert, Arizona

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. is an independent craft brewery with deep roots in Gilbert and a brewing philosophy inspired by Arizona’s landscapes, agriculture and local ingredients. Founded by Jonathan Buford and Patrick Ware, the brewery built its identity around creating beer that reflects the state it calls home. That connection to Arizona remains central to the company today, with Arizona-grown ingredients incorporated into every beer it brews.

The brewery produces an evolving selection of craft beer rather than limiting itself to a single style. Beer drinkers can encounter IPAs, lagers, farmhouse-inspired beers, specialty releases and beers featuring ingredients sourced from Arizona farms and producers. That emphasis on local sourcing gives the beer program a distinctly Arizona identity while allowing the brewing team to experiment with different flavors and styles.
