Clayton’s Corner~ On Food & Beer Pairing
March 10,2012 This weekend, SanTan will be participating in the Devoured Culinary Festival, at the Phoenix Art Museum.

Clayton’s Corner~ Clayton on I.P.A.’s
March 1, 2012 Making the rounds at festivals, many breweries are touting their IPA. At one festival last week, we even had three different kinds on offer.

Clayton’s Corner ~ Nitro Corner
February 23, 2012 Visitors to our pub may be familiar with our Gordo Stout, or the newly year-round Negro Nitron Black IPA.

Clayton’s Corner ~ Sex Panther
As of this week, Sex Panther, our latest seasonal offering, has hit the taps. While we had a beer of the same name on tap last year, that was a Barleywine, while this year the Panther has emerged as a Double Chocolate Porter. Porters are dark, sweet beers with predominant coffee and chocolate flavors in [...]
The Latest Installment Of Clayton’s Corner!! Nelson Devil’s Cask
Bitter, pungent, earthy, piney. If you’re a devoted hop head, these adjectives may have you salivating on your keyboard, considering a trip to SanTan right now for a pint of HopShock IPA. You’re probably counting down the days until Count Hopula is brewed again. But many of you might not feel this way. Upon seeing [...]
