Must-visit breweries near every spring training stadium in Arizona

Spring training is back in full swing in Arizona. Over a dozen MLB teams are all across the Valley warming up for the regular season.

There are 10 spring training stadiums from Goodyear to Mesa—some teams share a temporary home

A single can of beer at baseball stadiums can approach $20. Avoid those prices and support local businesses by heading to a nearby brewery.
