45 Best Craft Breweries in Albuquerque

“It doesn't surprise me one bit to see excellent reviews of Flock of Moons. I discovered this place because my Instagram feed kept suggesting it. I popped in and was instantly impressed with the mellow, beautiful atmosphere. It feels like a brewery you would find in a beautiful part of a large city. Dare I use the term "classy"? The servers were so friendly and quick, and I loved the beer. Perfectly brewed beer. I've been returning, have gotten to know a couple of the servers (who are AWESOME people), have tried different beers, have brought friends and just love the place. It has become a favorite in Albuquerque. I like it so much, I wish they would open a location closer to me, but I'm still willing to make the drive here.“

“Really good food, super friendly staff, spacious patio - will definitely go back!

I forgot to take a picture of our food until halfway done & friends sandwiches were all gone, so the picture is not a true representation. I got The Patriot (roast beef) - friends both got the turkey. Next time, I'll try to remember to take a picture before everyone digs in.“

“super cute spot to have coffee or a drink with friends. comfy and nice staff“

“Best tacos in town! Great service too!“

“The beer and the service is fabulous. My favorite brewery in ABQ!“

“I don’t actually like beer, but I found myself at tractor brewery in Nob Hill and had such a lovely experience. I’ll definitely be going back again. Mainly because Of my server, his name was Deva . She was very helpful in helping me select something and even got me to try a few samples in here which I do not like. I ended up with a lovely cocktail. I would give a six star if you were to send me start serving wine! But anyway, the service and the atmosphere was lovely and my cocktail was lovely as well.“

“Husband and I split the surf and turf burger with chile cheese fries and the corn elote ribs. The food was delicious, every table around us was gushing about how good their meals were. The staff was very kind and attentive and recommended options for us. Want to go back sometime to try the song bingo and trivia nights.“

“I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys beer. The atmosphere was light on the night I went, but it made the experience even better to have an engagement with bar tender. Their drink flight was served on a skateboard .... How so cool! Good pricing too.“

“Friday night BBQ with awsome Strawberry Glazed smoked baby back Ribs“

“My all time favorite place to have a beer and hang out! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻“

“Always great beer! I love the patio! The art on the walls is spectacular!! I think my friend and I got a taste of just about everything! And we loved them ALL!! Their IPA's were so good! Loved the pilsner! Friendly staff! Just really enjoyed ourselves and we'll definitely go back“

“Stopped in with the dog and family for one beer passing through to Santa Fe. Ended up making friends with everyone there and staying for a few! Such a great experience on the patio, beer was great along with the food truck they had on site. Dry dog friendly, and the vibes were high!“

“grate place good beers and friendly fast service“

“Stopped in for the first time at this location and absolutely amazing. Staff was friendly and fast. Beer was tasty and the the sandwiches were top notch. I recommend the French Onion Grilled Cheese for sure! Thank you for a great experience.“

“Staff is amazing, very accommodating and kind. Also the beers are delicious and tons of games too!!“

“This brewery is always my first and last stop when in ABQ. The owners put a lot of love and care into this place and the result is damn good beer. Add in the fact they are indigenous women, and pioneers in the industry and you can’t go wrong here. Cannot recommend it enough! Food truck rotation is also great, but love the option of bringing in outside food too. hayu masi, thank you, to the entire staff for another amazing visit.“

“Marble is the go to place in the heights! The staff (Olga, Ryan, Hunter, Jordan, Megan, Andre, Kristen, Johnny, Jake) are all great! They remember names and orders, and really make it a friendly and welcoming environment. The best beer and the best staff in Albuquerque.“

“10/10.. super cool and divey in a good way.. awesome selection and super chill attitude of the bartenders. somewhere to duck into away from the riff raff.. even as a new patron i feel welcomed, which is rare these days and refreshing experience from the clanism of many bars. theres various portion sizes to select to. very good value. very good beer. it shares a back patio with zendo coffee that has a very urban cozy corner feel, both inside and on patio. they have overhanging heaters on. intsead of redbull and vodka (aka battery acid) i can get some beer and some caffiene on the same patio which is much healthier than redbull and hard liquor. as a fan of coors light the grolsh was awesome.“

“My husband and I went to BJ's last night and our waitress Sarah J was absolutely amazing. Her positivity and energy was able to save a date night after being treated very rudely at the cheesecake factory. She was very polite very knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations. I had gotten one of their special mixed drinks and they had ran out of little rubber ducks that were supposed to come with it so instead of just bringing me and be like oh we were out she gave me an extra one of their little light up ice cubes to try to make up for it. If you were going to go to BJ's anytime soon I would definitely recommend asking for her.“

“Great service great food. Good beer selection 🍺“

“Great company, great bartenders, great music!“

“Trivia!!! Every Monday night! So much fun!“

“SO happy to have our favorite beertender, Laurel, so close to us! Such a fun little spot to visit - great beer and cocktails and yummy food trucks. Definitely recommend visiting when Laurel is working - she makes you feel at home and like a regular (even if you're not! <3)“

“Fantastic Liverpool supporter’s club Bar with an excellent choice of Craft beers 🍺 also good Jamming sessions 👏👏“

“Good times , good jams!!!!“

“The Marble IPA and the Desert Fog beers are without a doubt (WAY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSES !!!! )
It's not even close.
I have tried them all and there are many good ones.
But nothing even comes close to these.
Marble Brewery must survive !!!!
These masterpiece beers must not dissappear.
Go Marble !!!
Long live IPA and Desert Fog !!!“

“Great experience! Love the bartenders!“

“Tractor Brewing has the best brewery tag line ever: Get Plowed! I have used it numerous times in my university Marketing courses. Of course, I remind my students that this is hyperbole, not meant to be taken literally.The beers are spot-on excellent, whether at the main brewery in Wells Park or their taprooms around town. I ordered the Sodbuster Pale Ale this time (6.5% ABV; 35 IBU). This is a delightfully refreshing pint, a perfect gateway to hoppier and more robust IPAs, but a standout on its own. It would be easy to consume a few of these in an evening.My friend ordered the New Mexican Lager (5.6% ABV; 23 IBU), which Tractor says is neither American nor Mexican. That’s kind of like saying a band is a little bit rock, a little bit country. Either way, he found it very much to his liking, a very drinkable beverage for hot summer nights.I am thankful to Tractor through the years for hosting Better Call Saul viewing parties, several of which I was able to attend in spite of my location four hours away. There’s a great vibe inside, one that screams community-minded. It seems there’s always something going on at Tractor on the weekends, which keeps people coming back for more. Like me.“

“Awesome environment! Very relaxing and chill! Great service every time! I recommend to my peeps!“

“If you haven’t been here yet..add it to your list of places to try! You will not be disappointed! The food is great..a very unique selection of dishes to try! Love the carne adovada egg rolls!! They have some awesome desserts too! Great selection of brews too of course!“

“One of our favorite breweries. Beer and atmosphere are amazing. We’ve been worried for months after hearing there was going to be new ownership but it’s the same amazing place. We moved from Denver, which has a pretty good craft beer selection, but northern NM is just as good in my opinion. And Marble beer selection is great. I haven’t gotten a beer that disappointed. Staff is great too. When we have friends visit we bring them to Marble.“

“The food was great. Atmosphere was outstanding.“

“Harvest host excellent . Thank you“

“Fire drinks good food 😎🔥 highly recommended the vibes are here“

“Since the Bosques in las cruces are my go-to brewpubs, I was really disappointed when eating at the Nob Hill location recently. I ordered my usual, the Buffalo chicken sandwich but it was not nearly as good as the ones I get in Cruces. Chicken was small and tough. Service and beer were still spot on. Has me looking for alternatives in ABQ though.“

“I'm not one for reviews unless really impressed or totally dislike a place, I been here twice and was really impressed. The food was great, beer was great, I wish they had one where I live.“

“We had our 2 dogs with us. It's not quite patio time yet. But they opened up the patio for us! The beer was awesome! So was the food! Manager & waitress were so incredibly nice! Checked on us to see how we're doing! FANTASTIC! We will definitely be back!“

“Great food! Great beer! Great Service!“

“I don’t write a lot of reviews but I felt like my service and food on Thursday deserved a shout out. Firstly, Nicole our server was phenomenal. She was attentive, fun and sweet. Service lately has been lacking and Nicole reminded me that good service still exists. Second, the food was sooo good. I came here when they first opened and I must say the food has improved greatly! I know new restaurants need time to get into the grove of things and let me say they have it together. Our food was hot. It came out quickly and looked amazing. It also tasted amazing. We ordered the fried pickles, which were addicting. We also ordered the fish and chips. The fish was nicely battered and delicious. My husband ordered the burger. It was so good. The fries were hot and delicious . We will definitely be back!“

“The food is always consistent and extremely tasteful! Can’t find anything in the menu that I wouldn’t recommend! Worth every penny! I would even be as bold to say it’s the best burger in town“

“First night of their new summer menu and Left Turn knocked it out of the park once again!!! Floating on Basil made its return from last year’s summer menu- basil infused vodka, lemon juice, pineapple juice, soda water, and house made strawberry simple syrup 😍 The drinks are incredible, the bartenders are fantastic, and The Kitchen at Left Turn makes the most delicious fresh chicken nuggets I’ve ever had- make sure you get the housemade green chile dip to go with them!!“

“The menu was diverse, the gumbo was excellent, enchiladas were fantastic and the cherry/peach cobbler was as good as my grandmother's. My waitress (Steph) was attentive and informative about the menu and beer selections. Great dinner, great service and I will definitely be going back soon.“

“The bratwurst and fries were delicious. The bun was somewhat like a toasted pretzel bun and their sauerkraut and onion topping was the perfect touch! Had a kind & helpful server who suggested & subbed out the spicy filling for the quesadilla with grilled chicken breast-- YUM! And it was a nice surprise to get blue corn tortilla chips alongside. Highly recommended!“
