About AZ Water
Founded in 1928 AZ Water's members are dedicated water/wastewater professionals working to preserve and enhance Arizona's water environment. AZ Water is the Arizona section of the American Water Works Association and the Arizona member association of the Water Environment Federation.
PHX Beer Co. is teaming up with the AZ Water Association to bring awareness to Arizona’s current water supply.
Starting in November, a portion of annual proceeds from PHX Beer Co.’s Zanjero Juicy Hazy IPA will be donated to the AZ Water Association.
PHX Beer Co. created the IPA as a nod to the Zanjeros in Arizona who travel near and far opening canals to ensure water flows out of faucets and grows crops. Without the Zanjeros, there would not be water flowing throughout the Valley.
“We are looking forward to this partnership,” Alan Forrest, AZ Water Association president-elect, shared in a press release. “It is crucial to improve the public’s understanding of how important managing our water resources is to the state.”
All the money raised for the AZ Water Association will be directed to operator programs and training. To maintain their licensure in Arizona, operators are required to obtain 10 hours of training per year. When an operator has numerous licenses, this can become a financial burden.
There will also be "in-kind" donations throughout the year given to the AZ Water Association through hosted events by PHX Beer Co.
“Our goal is to spotlight what water operators, managers and engineers do so the public has a better appreciation of how dedicated AZ Water is to their job,” Adam Wojick, PHX Beer Co. brewery director, stated. “We want to assist Arizona’s water environment in any way we can.”
The partnership will kick off when PHX Beer Co. celebrates its four-year anniversary in November. Valley residents can help support the AZ Water Association by stopping at the brewery or picking up a four-pack of Zanjero Juicy Hazy IPA.
The beer will be available at PHX Beer Co.’s Taproom and Brewery (3002 E. Washington St.) and its Scottsdale location (8300 N. Hayden Road).
