There was plenty to be excited about when the guys behind Chupacabra Taproom and Goat and Ram mobile pizza kitchen announced they would team up to open a dual brewery and pizzeria in downtown Mesa. With Valerie Adee, formerly of Hundred Mile Brewing Co., leading the brewhouse, Phantom Fox Beer Co. is one of the Valley’s most exciting new spots for craft beer. Choose from more than 20 brews on tap, including Slenderman, a pale ale that’s an easy-drinking citrusy brew. You’ll also find select cocktails, wine and cider from nearby Cider Corps. No visit to Phantom Fox is complete without pairing your pint with a pie from Goat and Ram. The crusts are bubbly and chewy, often with a nicely charred exterior. Be sure to order a side of smoked tomato sauce to dunk your crusts into.
