| | Ariz. awash in suds at microbreweries | www.tucsoncitizen.com ® |
 | | Arizona is home to more than 20 microbreweries and brew pubs, including Gentle Ben's Brewing Co., and Nimbus Brewing Co., in Tucson, though most are scattered around metro Phoenix. |
 | | Last year they produced in excess of 7 million barrels of ales, pilsners, porters and stouts, a 9 percent increase over 2004, according to the Brewers Association, a trade group representing craft brewers. |
 | | As a result, little turmoil has occurred, with the same microbreweries operating for years. |
