40 Best Craft Breweries in Albuquerque

Brew Lab 101 Beer & Cider Co. Brewery •
3107 Eubank Boulevard Northeast Ste 12, Albuquerque

“Great brew in Northeast Albuquerque love to see places that make ciders had the apple cider and that was phenomenal and was a treat to have made and not coming from a can. Staff was great. Bartender was slightly overworked because she was by herself, but you can tell that people stay calm and enjoy the atmosphere. No food trucks were available at the time of our visit but the beer was great. The entertainment and sports games on TV were also great to have when reviewing the menu. Notice that there is some sort of an event every night from comedy night to live music and even music bingo which is a phenomenal thing to have has pinball machines and an area for game playing that the kids can enjoy while you are enjoying your drinks. Will definitely go back to enjoy it again. Have also been told that there is other locations in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Will be back“

“Great local thematic micro brew!
Good flight! Good beer. Good service.
The cuban... as a self proclaimed Cuban sandwich connoisseur, it was a good brewery bite, better than Key West but room for improvement, maybe a smoked gouda...?. Like that the menu wasn't all fried junk.
Overall amazing themed place. Family friendly place.
Won't get in trouble for saying BOMB here...!“

Flock of Moons Brewing Company Brewery •

“TOP 10 BEST BREWERIES IN ALBUQUERQUE: #8: FLOCK OF MOONS

My name is Matt, Albuquerque’s Brew Reviewer. I’ve tried over 200 local beers, and visited over 40 unique breweries in Albuquerque.

Talk about a unique concept. When I first entered this brewery, I was a bit confused by what was going on. It was lit and decorated like some sort of office building, but with decorations all centered around a theme of…. night…. owls? It’s slightly jarring at first, but nonetheless still inviting. The highlight of Flock of Moon’s infrastructure is when you get to the back of the building, and enter the massive patio. There are dozens of tables to sit at and enjoy your beer in a massive, clean outdoor space, that makes for some incredible relaxation. The beer selection here is one of the most flavorful, unique, and delicious in Albuquerque. The hazy IPAs, sours, fruit-centered beers here are very yummy. Some of the darker beers here have a little too much bite for my taste, but others may love them. Flock of Moons you will be near guaranteed to find a beer you like if you order a flight, and you can drink it under the sun on a patio, or in a brewery with the most blatantly random yet weirdly charming theme in the city, which is why Flock of Moons takes up our number 8 spot.

Calavida Cantina Corrales Brewery •
10200 Corrales Road, Albuquerque

“Revision to this post now that was Vision City Brewstillery in Corrales and known as Calavida Cantina for awhile now. Great craft brews as always including an excellent West Coast style IPA called Altitude Adjustment. The food is different now and more of a Mexican flair and worth coming in for but the drinks are the best. The amazing distillery era has begun and the gin right now that was just distilled is pure rose hips and so good. It'll remind you of Scotland's Hendricks special edition called Flora Dora (cabinet of creations). Should be for sale soon is what they tell me. So, if you're a gin fan come on in already and get that perfect G&T or come try their newly distilled bourbon which is also great. Staff is amazing as well! Too many great staff to name on this post.“

“TOP 10 BEST BREWERIES IN ALBUQUERQUE: #9: TRACTOR

My name is Matt, Albuquerque’s Brew Reviewer. I’ve tried over 200 local beers, and visited over 40 unique breweries in Albuquerque.

You haven’t tried Albuquerque cider unless you’ve gone to Tractor! Offering delicious, sweet, refreshing cider, canned or on draft, and a fun, large selection of beer, with a spacious, decorated, inviting atmosphere, Tractor is serious about brewing. Kind staff, some fun and unique beer flavors, and a great interior. They love to go all out for Halloween. It’s one of those breweries that’s great to go to with friends, because there’s spacious, comfortable booths. The only thing which holds Tractor back is the lack of food, but for a place to get drinks, especially with company, this is a premiere spot in the city to go, which is why it’s the ninth best brewery in Albuquerque.
