Serving Phoenix-area home brewers and winemakers since 1996.

Three decades of helping people make beer and wine W.A.Y. better.

Our story

Brewing since
1996.

What Ale's Ya opened in 1996 to give Valley home brewers and winemakers a real local shop — fresh ingredients, the right equipment, and people who actually brew. Two generations of owners and nearly thirty years later, that's still the whole idea.

1996

Chuck opens the doors

Chuck Therio opens What Ale's Ya and runs it flawlessly for twenty-five years, supplying Phoenix and West Valley home brewers and winemakers with everything they need.

2021

Adam & Allie take over

When Chuck retires, longtime customers Adam and Allie buy the shop to keep the W.A.Y. going for the next generation of brewers.

2021

Classes begin

By mid-2021 the shop floor doubles as a classroom, with Brewing 101, All-Grain and wine classes for every level.

2022

W.A.Y. Better Beer Kits

House recipes arrive, each one brewed and tested before it hits the shelf. Today there are 38.

2025

The taproom opens
