Four Peaks Brewing Co. is an Arizona brewery that was founded by Andy Ingram, Jim Scussel, and Randy Schultz in 1995 and opened to the public on December 11, 1996. The company is headquartered in the historic former Borden Co. Creamery and Ice Factory on 8th Street in Tempe, Arizona, about one-half mile (800 m) east of the campus of Arizona State University.

Four Peaks Brewing Co.'s flagship beer is Kilt Lifter, a Scottish-style ale with a 6.0% ABV. Other notable beers are Hop Knot West Coast IPA, Desert Daydream New England–style IPA and WOW Wheat. Four Peaks also brews Pumpkin Porter, the most popular seasonal beer in the state of Arizona. [2]
The 8th Street Pub is Four Peaks Brewing Co.'s primary location. Located at 1340 E. 8th Street in Tempe, it is housed inside the historic former Borden Milk Co. Creamery and Ice Factory originally constructed in 1892. [3] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [4] It is rumored the former creamery building is haunted. [5] The brewery was featured on season 28, episode 13 of Ghost Adventures. The episode was titled "Terror in Tempe."
Four Peaks occupies nearly the entire building, though one portion on the far west side of the building is controlled by Infusion Tea & Coffee.
In 2016, Four Peaks expanded into a former creamery office built on-site in 1915. [6] The office also served as the former location of Uranus Recording Studio, which was owned and operated by Gin Blossoms lead singer Robin Wilson (musician) from 1994 to 2015. [7]
The company opened a second restaurant location in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2004. [8] That location closed permanently in 2020. [8] [9]
An additional brewing-only site was opened in 2012 on Wilson Street in Tempe as production needs increased. [10] The production facility also houses a small private event space.
In 2013, a Four Peaks Brewing Co. location opened inside Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. [11]
