Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey.
Super Bowl 57 wasn’t just a wonderful opportunity to talk with players on Radio Row and watch the game that decided football’s newest world champion. It was also the backdrop for Arizona’s local culture, some great food and a full week of chances to drink the Grand Canyon State’s finest beverages.
This manifested in a few different ways, ranging from bottle shop four-packs to fresh pours at media events so over the top they could only be connected to the Super Bowl. In that spirit, I’m gonna run down all the spirits we got to try in our whirlwind week in Phoenix. They range from juicy pale ales to Emmitt Smith’s preferred tequila.
