Our Story
Brewed in Peoria, Born in Litchfield Park
What started as a 31-gallon labor of love in historic Litchfield Park has become one of the West Valley's most beloved independent breweries.
Peoria Artisan Brewery began in 2013 as the Litchfield Taproom — a tiny 1-barrel, 31-gallon operation in historic Litchfield Park, Arizona, where Matthew and Kristina Frosch poured their first batches for a handful of neighbors. In November 2015, they opened the Peoria location, bringing the same hands-on spirit to a bigger home.
This is an independent, family- and veteran-owned house. Matthew, Kristina, and Executive Chef Michael Mahalick live in Peoria and run it hands-on — every batch, every scratch plate, every handshake. You'll usually find one of them in the room.
