O.H.S.O. - Arcadia

The original O.H.S.O. location in Arcadia opened in 2011. The name O.H.S.O. stands for Outrageous Home Brewer’s Social Outpost. We wanted a place where home brewers and guests could not only brew their own beer, but be able to get it on tap as well. Thanks to our community of brewers, we always have unique craft beers on tap that cannot be found anywhere else.
Arcadia was not the planned location, but thanks to a chance lunch meeting at Black Forest that changed. We would not be O.H.S.O. with out Arcadia. The neighborhood itself shaped O.H.S.O. into what it is today and we are better off for it. Our back yard is located right off the Arizona Canal where bike riders and dog walkers can be seen every day. They are the reason for our bike inspired and dog friendly patio. We are fortunate that we landed in such a vibrant neighborhood. Thanks to them, we have been able to open multiple locations in the valley. That is why we love giving back to the community by supporting our local schools and charities.
We now have a larger brewery in Paradise Valley, a distillery in North Scottsdale, and a spot in Terminal 2 at Sky Harbor. Next year we will open up another brewery in Gilbert. We may have expanded, but our roots are right here in Arcadia.
