The overview

Beer first, everything else second.

Dragoon Brewing Company grew out of Tucson’s homebrewing community and opened in 2011, founded by Bruce Greene, Eric Greene, and Tristan White. The plan was never volume or flash: a tight lineup of year-round beers, brewed with conviction and poured from a no-frills warehouse taproom on West Grant Road.

The lineup is led by the flagship Dragoon IPA, which Food & Wine named one of the best IPAs in America. Thrillist has featured Dragoon among Arizona’s best breweries, and the public record backs the reputation: 4.5 stars across 200+ Yelp reviews, with the same mark on Tripadvisor. In 2026 that record cleared our bar: the Centurion Award for Best Brewery in Tucson.

Find the taproom at 1859 W Grant Rd, pouring the year-round lineup and rotating specialty releases.
