46 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.“

“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.“

“Great hamburger & chile cheese fries! We will be back!“

“Best tacos in town! Great service too!“

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

“I'm from Albuquerque and when visiting family discovered La Cumbre Elevated. Love this IPA! I am able to buy it at Safeway in Tucson, so I stock up here. When I was last in the Duke City I stopped by to see the Brewery and it was a great experience!“

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

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

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

“If you are a fan of Stout, you must try Sidetrack's Matching Stoutfits! I bought a four pack to-go after having their OUTSTANDING Sour beer there with my husband, and as a big fan of stout beers, this one does not disappoint--nice and rotund without any bitter aftertaste--smooth and DELICIOUS! The atmosphere was very chill with an upbeat vibe and a great scene for a lovely afternoon hangout spot on a hot summer day. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly and knowledgable. If you are looking for a snack, their popcorn was a great addition to have with the beers. Highly recommend! Cheers!“

“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.“

“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“

“My wife and I live in Santa Fe, about 65 miles north of bow and arrow brewery, and this is my upmost favorite tasting beer in New Mexico! Absolutely love this beer, it was my birthday yesterday so my wife and I made the trip JUST to come to this place and enjoy some of my favorite beer! We also play Mario kart on the switch online with the wifi the brewery has to offer! Beer is A++++“

“They were all super great! There was one lady who was drunk and making a scene throwing beer etc. they calmly walked her out and checked on everyone involved. Nicely done“

“Food and beer were delicious, the patio was misted, and the staff were super nice! We got the shrimp po boy and it was enough food to split. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, crisp on the outside but not chewy. I’ll be adding this place to my rotation!“

“grate place good beers and friendly fast service“

“Ed and the crew are friendly and brew some great beer🍺 . Can’t wait for their next hit with in house born whiskey 🥃. My new favorite in ABQ.“

“Marble Brewery is a must-visit! The beer selection is fantastic, with something for every palate, and the atmosphere is always buzzing with good vibes. What truly sets Marble apart is the staff. They're all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making you feel right at home. A special shoutout to Kristen, who always goes above and beyond to make our visits memorable. Her recommendations are spot-on, and her enthusiasm for craft beer is contagious. Marble Brewery is a top-notch spot thanks to the awesome team!“

“The crew is great. We always have great conversations with them.“

“Good place after new ownership. New beer selection that have been better after new investor ownership. Still thinking it’s not quality beer kick other breweries but they are trying to get back to the top. The good location and good setup has ala ways been there for sure always.“

“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.“

“Great service great food. Good beer selection 🍺“

“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.“

“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)“

“Great experience! Love the bartenders!“

“Legendary. Unforgettable. Pure Albuquerque Soul. The Craftroom Brewery isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s a sanctuary of flavor, community, and craft. The Staff? Absolute legends: warm, genuine, and always ready with a recommendation that hits the spot. The food? Outrageously good. From green chile-fired pizzas to sandwiches that make you rethink lunch forever, every bite is a masterpiece. But the real crown jewel? The cider. Bold, creative, and unapologetically New Mexican. Whether you're sipping on their signature OG Apple or diving into a rotating seasonal blend, every pour feels like a toast to local flavor and fearless innovation. This is where Albuquerque gathers, laughs, watches the match, and drinks in the good life. The Craftroom isn't just a brewery — it’s a legend in the making. 🍻 Come for the Games. Stay for the Cider. Return as a Legend. The Craftroom "Local Flavor. Legendary Vibes."“

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

“Came here on a recommendation from a local. They told me it was a spot not to be missed, they were not wrong! Rudy, Sarah and Kristy were my amazingly, friendly and super knowledgeable servers. They gave me a great info about the brewery history and so much information about each beer, they paired it perfectly with my lunch, definitely order something when you’re here at the food is great. This is by far the best afternoon, I could’ve asked for before leaving town. Check em out, you won’t be bummed!“

“Good times , good jams!!!!“

“Austin!!! Great Bartender and Great Service!!! Old Fashion cocktail on point. whoo hoo!“

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

“Harvest host excellent . Thank you“

“Super relaxing environment, family friendly, great staff and super good beer rotations!

Dortmunder is awesome!

Literally moved to the Westside to be within walking distance of the taproom🤣

The Beertenders are a great source of local information for events, places to eat, and local happenings.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food! Great beer! Great Service!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I had the turkey sandwhich with a Cesar side salad, which were both delicious. My daughter had the cheese burger and fries. We shared the fried pickles, which were also great. It took a long time for our food to come once we ordered. The service was very slow. It was extremely cold inside.“
