Four Peaks Brewery is an Arizona brewery and restaurant. The original location is in an old creamery and warehouse in Tempe, Arizona about 1/2 mile west of the campus of Arizona State University with an additional location now in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The Tempe location also has a small display of Minnesota Viking and Elvis Presley paraphernalia. The brewing equipment is visible in the northern and western sections of this historical property. The building was built in 1892 as an ice plant. The current architecture dates back to 1927 when it was remodelled in a Mission Revival style. It served as a creamery until 1953.
The selection at the brewery varies, but several favorites (most often Kilt Lifter and 8th Street Ale) are available on tap and in bottles in bars and restaurants around the region. The brewery usually also has one or more Real ale ready to serve.
If seated inside the brewery itself, one will notice a blackboard listing all the beers and their alcohol content, which currently runs up to 12.0%.

According to the Matt Table of Contents, Kilt Lifter, a local favorite, is 6.0% alcohol.
