Our story begins in Bisbee in 1988. Arizona had just legalized microbreweries and “Electric” Dave applied for the state’s first brewer’s license. He worked hard to perfect his beer recipes and earned many admirers along the way. Two fans, Scott and (the other) Dave, entered into a business partnership with “Electric” Dave so they could introduce the brews to their hometown of Tempe. Dave’s Electric Brewpub continues the quality microbrew tradition near Mill Avenue in downtown Tempe by serving the four Bisbee beers (lager, IPA, pale ale and oatmeal stout). In February 2011 Dave’s Electric Brewpub began brewing beer locally. The first beer was a traditional IPA and the next will be a hefeweizen.
