Ales on Rails

What better season offers the perfect reason to savor the Arizona outdoors than Autumn? The cooling temperatures inspire the riparian foliage to mellow, filling the Verde Canyon with gold, amber and scarlet, echoed by rich Arizona craft beers served during Verde Canyon Railroad’s ever-popular Ales on Rails event every day the train is running from Sept. 18 through October 31, 2018. This popular seasonal party begins prior to the train's 1:00pm departure, starting each day at 11:00 a.m. on the depot patio with a great selection of Arizona craft beers and an Oktoberfest-style lunch of grilled sausages, special-recipe potato salad and hot pretzels served with gourmet cheeses perfect for dipping. All pair well with Arizona beers making it easy to find a winning combination.
