The original Tempe location has a small display of Minnesota Vikings and Elvis Presley paraphernalia. The brewing equipment is visible in the northern and western sections of this historical property. The building was built in 1892 as an ice plant. The current architecture dates back to 1927, when it was remodelled in a Mission Revival style. It served as a creamery until 1953.
Four Peaks announced on December 18, 2015 that it was acquired by AB InBev, a multinational beverage conglomerate.[1]
