Enjoy some hip hops and a tour at Tempe's award-winning Four Peaks Brewing Company

One of Tempe's most popular gathering spots for nearly twenty years,

Four Peaks Brewing Company, offers brewery tours Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. The cost is $10 per person, which includes a 40-minute tour and two tickets for 16 ounce beers. Advance reservations are recommended.

A friendly Four Peaks representative will take guests through their historic turn-of-the-century creamery building to see how beer is made from the individual ingredients all the way through canning, bottling and kegging. Four Peaks is Arizona's most awarded brewery and most recently was named America's favorite craft brewery as part of the Travel Channel's inaugural "Microbrew Madness". It's known for craft beers such as Kilt Lifter Scottish-style ale, Hop Knot IPA and seasonal beers like Pumpkin Porter. They also serve excellent pub and Southwestern-inspired fare.

Brighten up your day with breakfast in Tempe

When it comes to breakfast you can break an egg or two, flip over a stack of pancakes or get your fill of French toast in Tempe. You have a great selection of spots to choose from, whether you want a hearty, old fashioned breakfast heaped high on your plate or are in the mood for something light and tasty.

NCounter

Chompies, a New York style deli, serves breakfast all day, so you can have their awesome omelets or lox and their famous bagels any time.

NCounter, located in Downtown Tempe, offers a fun atmosphere and great food. The breakfast sandwiches and chipotle egg burrito are excellent as are the smoothies and chai tea lattes.

Snooze will tempt you with its from-scratch menu items such as a choose-your-own flight of fluffy pancakes or house-made breakfast pot pie smothered in rosemary sausage gravy.

The Normal Diner at the Graduate Tempe hotel is a new take on an old-school diner. Their blue corn pancakes melt in your mouth and their Green Bowl, filled with healthy goodies like acai and flax seed granola, will get your day off to a great start.
