Lumberyard Brewing

Lumberyard Brewing Company is a craft brewery and brewpub located in downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, operating out of a historically restored 1900s lumber building. Founded in 2010 by Winnie and Evan Hanseth — who also opened Flagstaff's first brewpub, Beaver Street Brewery, in 1994 — the company was established to meet growing demand for craft beer production and distribution throughout Arizona. The brewery occupies the rehabilitated Halstead Lumberyard Building on San Francisco Street, a structure that had been abandoned for eight years before being granted to the Hanseths through a city proposal process. The building's transformation into a working brewery and full-service restaurant represents a significant preservation effort and community investment in Flagstaff's Southside neighborhood. Lumberyard Brewing produces a lineup of flagship and rotating craft beers brewed on-site at an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet above sea level. Core brands include the Flagstaff IPA, Railhead Red amber ale, Red Rock Raspberry, and the Hazy Angel IPA, with new styles added regularly. The brewery distributes its flagship beers across the state of Arizona, extending its reach well beyond its taproom. Beer is also available for retail purchase in cans and via personal growler fills directly at the brewery. In addition to its brewing operations, Lumberyard Brewing operates a full-service restaurant offering a pub-style menu that includes burgers, sandwiches, appetizers such as Irish Egg Rolls and Mac N' Cheese Balls, and family-friendly options. The food and beverage program targets a broad demographic, drawing both local Flagstaff residents and tourists visiting northern Arizona attractions such as the Grand Canyon and San Francisco Peaks. The brewery offers daily happy hour specials Monday through Friday and a Sunday brunch program featuring discounted specialty cocktails served in yard jars. Brewery tours are available by appointment, providing an educational grain-to-glass experience for visitors. The establishment has earned recognition for its award-winning beers and community-oriented atmosphere, consistently drawing positive feedback for food quality, service, and overall experience.
