Dark Sky Brewing featuring Yarnell 19 Beer for the 10th Anniversary of the Yarnell Hill Fire in Honor of Eric Marsh Foundation
All proceeds for the Dark Sky Brewing Yarnell 19 West Coast IPA brewed in honor of the 10th Anniversary of the 19 Heroes from the Yarnell Hill Fire will go to the Eric Marsh Foundation as well as other Wildland Fire organizations.
FLAGSTAFF and SCOTTSDALE, AZ— Starting Friday June 24, Dark Sky Brewing will showcase a special Yarnell 19 West Coast IPA on draft and in cans in honor of the 10th Anniversary of the 19 Heroes from the Yarnell Hill Fire. All proceeds from this beer will be donated to the Eric Marsh Foundation as well as other Wildland Fire organizations.
On Thursday, June 30 all day Scottsdale’s Rift Wine + Tap will host a fundraiser for the Eric Marsh Foundation featuring Dark Sky Brewing beers on tap. All beer proceeds will be donated to EMF, and guests will have the chance to win Dark Sky Brewing, Rift merchandise, and other prizes in a raffle that will take place at 7pm. The winner does not need to be present to win.
This event is one of many monthly activities that the brewery’s nonprofit organization Dark Sky Community executes to support causes they care about.
The Eric Marsh Foundation (EMF) is a passion project that supports wildland firefighters and their families in the event of a line of duty death or other trauma; and it’s especially important to Dark Sky Brewing owners Larami & Ryan Sandlin, who grew up in Prescott with some of the firefighters lost in the Yarnell 19 fire. This event marks the exact date 10 years since that fire. Learn more at ericmarshfoundation.org.

Dark Sky Brewing Widens Reach Across Arizona Through Partnership With Quail Distributing
“Northern Arizona has a buzzing craft beer scene, with Dark Sky Brewing leading the way through their innovative and highly rated beers,” says Shawn Hillman with Quail Distributing.
FLAGSTAFF, AZ— Since joining the Quail Distributing portfolio in March, Dark Sky Brewing continues to expand its experimental craft beer footprint in Northern Arizona, across the Phoenix Valley, and the Tucson metropolitan area. Most recently their seven canned SKUs have become available at Arizona Total Wine locations.
This partnership is the product of several years of friendship between Dark Sky and Quail, as well as an expansion of the Dark Sky Production brewery. More production space allowed the Dark Sky team to package and distribute their seasonal mainstay SKUs - Vortices Hazy Double IPA, Pit Stop Lager, Best Friend Munich Helles, After Thoughts American Pale Ale, Westie West Coast IPA, Sacred Datura Triple IPA, and Rainy Daze Hazy IPA. Now they extend their reach to even more shelves with the addition of select Total Wine stores to their expanding vendor/partner list.
“Northern Arizona has a buzzing craft beer scene, with Dark Sky leading the way through their innovative and highly rated beers,” says Shawn Hillman with Quail Distributing.
“Expanding our seasonal mainstay SKUs down to the valley and Tucson has been a dream of ours for the past few years; customer demand fueled the brewery expansion and we were able to make it happen this year. We hope having our beers down in the valley and Tucson will spark a need for patrons to travel to our destination Flagstaff taproom for taproom-only fun,” add Ryan & Larami Sandlin from Dark Sky Brewing.
Use the beer finder on Dark Sky Brewing’s website homepage to locate their canned SKUs across Arizona. Dark Sky lovers can visit the tasting room to purchase these cans and taste many rotating draft-only beers too.
