Day Twenty – Vulture Peak Brewing Company
In the mid-sized town of Wickenburg there is a great up and coming brewery called Vulture Peak Brewing Company. This veteran owned brewery was one of our Harvest Host stops. The owners, Bryce and Jeremy, opened their establishment in 2024, so it is a very young business. When asked how the first year went, they said it went well overall, but was definitely a learning year. They had to try to fit into a cowboy culture while at the same time appealing to the tourists.
Both Bryce and Jeremy were home brewers for decades, but their collaboration on Vulture Peak Brewing began with a quest. Bryce said if they could make a real Scottish Ale as one of their brews, it was a go. Well, that beer is what they call the Lost Scotsman, and we agree that it is a very tasty brew. The dark amber ale was delicious on a hot afternoon. In our opinion, a close second was their Irish Cream stout beer. They call that one Barsa, which is Portuguese for “wide shoulders” and is what they plan to enter into competitions in the coming year.
We spent a
pleasant evening at their establishment, watching the evening shadows fall on
the Bradshaw Mountains. The quaint historic oldtown Wickenburg is worth a stop,
if you are traveling on Arizona Highway 60. And Vulture Peak Brewing Company is
a great place to wet your whistle.
