The Beer Research Institute

The Beer Research Institute The Beer Research Institute is a full service brewery and restaurant. We specialize in Hop Forward IPA's and Belgian Beers. More than anything else, The B.R.I.

Our food is made from scratch and pairs perfectly with our beers. We are small, local and most of all INDEPENDENT! Like many of the great stories of American entrepreneurs, our story begins in a garage! The first batch of beer was made in the spring of 2003. It wasn't good, but it sparked a passion that eventually morphed into The B.R.I. Our Brewpub opened in 2014 on a 5 barrel brew house and a sh

oestring budget. Since then, we've been making our favorite beers and serving them with delicious food from our scratch kitchen. We focus on the beers that we enjoy drinking and making the kind of food we like to eat. We hope that everyone else enjoys it as much as we do but in short, we do what we want! is a gathering place. It's the place where friends go out together on a weekend. It's where co-workers wind down their day with happy hour. Its where families come to celebrate life's little victories and events. The Brewpub hold's a special place in our heart. It's the town hall. It's church to some. It's where the revolution began! For thousands of years, people have went to their local taverns, pubs and breweries and now our brewery is part of that history. By the end of 2016, we knew we would have to grow our operation so we began working on the current expansion plans. If all goes well, we should be increasing our brewing and our seating in the fall of 2017. The beer will be made on that same 5 barrel system we started on and the beers will be developed just like they were when we were still in the garage. Slow and methodical; with a little bit of science, a little bit of artistry and a metric sh*t ton of passion! Cheers! Matt and the B.R.I. Team

Its been an amazing 10 years serving the residents of Mesa and beyond. And like all great stories, ours is coming to an end.

A huge thank you goes out to anyone and everyone who's ever stepped foot into our building, came to our booth at a festival or ordered a pint of our beer at their favorite neighborhood bar. You're the reason we got into this and the reason we were able to last 10 years!
