I have been here many times, in both small and large groups, and it has always been very good. Very cool old building that used to be a dairy. Still has a lot of character. Great food, great beer and a friendly staff. The menu has suggestions for recommended beer pairings to go with the food. All of the food is consistently good, and they always have specials that aren't on the menu. Sometimes, it's a bit uncomfortable when the temperature outside is high, and there is often a wait for a table. However, it has always been worth it. If you have a chance to visit, I don't think that you will be disappointed.

HopKnot is a phenomenal beer. Easily my favorite beer in the state. The food was awesome. The building, old milk factory, was very cool. Liked how they capatilized on the environment and had outdoor dining. Service was great; albeit a little slow. However, that was because they were so busy; as they should be considering the great brews they produce.

I went on a mission to go see every local brewery in Arizona, and I was getting a pint glass from everyone I went to! It was funny because when my girlfriend and I went in there we made jokes about if this place was going to forget about bringing a souviner glass out for us. Four breweries before this one each forgot us, "FOUR"...it was hard to believe, but true. Our waitress was moving through the place at a good speed but was very well manored. She took our order without writeing it down, went over to two other tables and took theyr'e orders without writeing them down and disappeared. She came back in record time, everything was perfect and she brought the glasses with her before we had to ask for them again!

Awesome!!! Bravo!!!! The beer was great and so was the food!

As my ratings indicate, I'm a huge fan of FPBC. I used to live in Tempe and had they come into being before I moved away, I would have never left town. Consistently the beer, food and service are all well executed. I can't ever get enough of their Hop Knot or the 8th Street Ale. I heard that FPBC is establishing a separate brewing facility elsewhere in Tempe that will offer a bar and restaurant; that will take the pressure off the 8th Street location which can get impenetrable when ASU is in session and on game days. These guys are successful and once you go here, it's evident why.

This place is huge, they seem to have decided to build a brewpub around their production brewery, with a large bar overlooking the brewery and a large patio seating area as well. The food and beer are both quite good with a fairly extensive menu including pub fare and southwestern items. They had quite a few beers on tap the night that I visited and all were good but the standout was a barrel aged imperial stout. Service was adequate especially considering that the place was packed full on a Tuesday night due to a college basketball game. They are located very close to Arizona State and the crowd was a bit heavy on college kids for my taste, but it was still a worthy beer destination.

We went to Four Peaks 4 times in a 5 day stay while in the Tempe area. Each time we had excellent service, food and the beer was great. The hop knot is excellent. Even though I am not a fruit beer person the peach ale was quite good. We tried a couple of other beers and each was good. Service was excellent with the wait staff and bus boys, eager to clean up without trying to rush you out the door. The management was very friendly and gave us an impromptu brewery tour and met the owner and head brewer, very impressive! If I had time for only one brewpub or restaurant to go to in Tempe, Four Peaks would be the choice.

Four Peaks is an awesome place to go for whatever occasion you can think of. It's a great place for hanging out with friends, celebrating events, holding business lunches, or to just kill free time. The bartenders are really good, and the service overall is better than most brewpubs I've been to. The food is okay, really hit or miss. Plenty of seating for busier times, and the outdoor weather in Tempe is usually great for their patio seating. It's an overall great bar to just kick it during some down time.

In an old creamery near ASU. Interesting look. Has nice decor and such, but it is a little bit dark and can be hot inside sometimes.

There are tons of beers as you can see. They also have stuff on cask which is neat. Most of them are pretty good, at least all of the ones that I have had (Kiltlifter, Hop Knot, Raj IPA, Peach(?))

Service can be hit or miss, but it generally is good. But, if it is a game day, expect crappy service.

Food always is pretty good. Everything that I or my friends/family have ordered are tasty.

They also have a decent drink selection for those who don't like beer.

Not a world class brewery, but its an exciting place to go when you're stuck in the Phoenix area.

Atmosphere: very large. The restaurant is larger than one would think for the small output of the brewery. very nice and clean inside. high quality. tables are among the kettles which i found nice.

Selection: besides having pints of various four peaks beers, i got a sampler there as well. i find the beer selection at four peaks to be just awful. they do nothing creative or fun. all they do is brew mediocre to poor examples of the most common styles you can find.

Food: we only had some appetizers but there were very tasty and went quite well with beer.

Service: quite poor. our waitress didn't seem to know much about beer or waitressing for that matter.

Took my brother in law here after he picked me up from the airport. Pretty crowded for a Thursday noontime crowd. So we had a seat at the bar.

I was pretty thrilled to see the diversity of the selection of their brews on tap. They had a kolsch, a hefe, their pale ale, an oatmeal stout, english ipa, american ipa, and thekir scottish ale. Also stoked that their pale was dry hopped on cask. A little bummed they didn't have a seasonal beer tapped but everything that I drankwas great.

Bartender was informative and nice. Pretty decent mix of ASU students and bussiness people on lunch breaks, but everyone was there for good beer.

Food was slightly a miss, I ordered some nachos and they were not great. Dry unflavorful ground beef and rubbery cheese just don't do it for me. Maybe their burgers and entrees are good but I just didn't feel what I ordered. Overlooking that I had a great time and will always come back when I'm in Phoenix.
