The Dark Sky Brewing Story
Craft Beer & Food Made In The Dark Sky Place, For The Dark Sky Community.
Greetings, Earthlings!
We’re Larami and Ryan Sandlin—Flagstaff locals, NAU Alumni, proud Husky parents, and craft beer lovers. In 2014 we launched our love of beer into the atmosphere by founding Dark Sky Brewing Company.
Initially, our plan for Dark Sky Brewing was unassuming. We had a vision of a small two thousand square foot coffee shop-style brewery that would be capable of pouring a humble six pints an hour…
dsb fans had more galactic plans for us, though...
Within our first two weeks of opening, Dark Sky Brewing sold out of beer entirely. We had to take the next two weeks to rebuild our inventory!
We make a lot more beer these days with two brewing locations producing some of the best-tasting IPAs, ales, and lagers in Flagstaff. We proudly offer nine mainstay cans that make their way across the great state of Arizona through Quail Distributing plus southwest Colorado through Ska Distributing.
Beer & Food Creatively Hand Crafted In Downtown Flagstaff, Arizona.
Through our journey over the past nine years, we’ve expanded multiple times and we now have our two distinct downtown Flagstaff beer destinations located adjacent to one another.
Our new 21+ beer garden on Birch Street serves up elevated pub grub from Atmosphere Kitchen, and our original family-friendly taproom on Beaver Street serves up wood-fired pizza from Pizzicletta.
Between the two locations, we have 40 craft beer taps on one Dark Sky City corner and offer an ever-rotating craft beer menu.
Dark sky, bright world.
Named in honor of its home in the world's first International Dark Sky Place, Dark Sky Brewing is crafting a beer selection that is as unique and beautiful as every star, comet, and planet we can see while stargazing from our beautiful backyard.
We’re committed to making our home a better place by giving back, so we founded The Dark Sky Community nonprofit organization to serve as a launching base to raise more funds and awareness for Arizona nonprofit organizations.
