Founded in 1996 by Andy Ingram, Jim Scussel and Randy Schultz in a historic 1892 Borden Milk Co. Creamery building on 8th Street in Tempe — listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Four Peaks quickly became Arizona's most beloved craft brewery, anchored by flagship Kilt Lifter Scottish-Style Ale. With 24 combined GABF and World Beer Cup medals including gold for Hop Knot IPA and SunBru Kölsch at the 2012 World Beer Cup and silver for Kilt Lifter at the 2013 GABF, Four Peaks defined Southwest craft brewing. Acquired by AB InBev in 2015 but retaining its Arizona identity.
