21 Best Brewpubs in Albuquerque

“😁Today's yoga class was a wonderful experience. The instructor was exceptional, guiding us through a series of rejuvenating poses. The ambiance was tranquil with the soft music creating a soothing atmosphere. I left the class feeling physically and mentally refreshed. Thank you Outpost 1706 for putting on this event. BTW😋The post drinks were also delicious.“

“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“

“Good beer, but...
It's worth checking if there is live music. Otherwise you'll end up yelling at your friends.
The parking lot is tight and doesn't really support the crowd size when it's busy.

Parking: Good luck finding a spot.
Be careful not to use the space between handicap spots. It's not well marked.
All spots are tight. Might want to back in.
Be careful of the fence.
There is a little more parking you can use in the back lower lot.“

“5/5 My sister and I decided to take a day trip to see one of our favorite bands in Albuquerque,I live in Santa fe. I recently watched a episode of Ghost Adventures and this placed was listed. We both immediately wanted to spend the night and experience the paranormal.We both are fans of the paranormal and the occult and were excited to grab a chance to stay there. Jesse was extremely helpful and lovely to deal with. The rooms are beautiful and the grounds are welcoming. The happy hour was amazing and our bartender was excellent in suggesting brews and near by places. We both enjoyed our conversations with her. Now, for the good part our "Lottie" suite had everything you needed and it was beautiful. We got back around midnight from our show. We decided to shower and wind down and get to bed. As I was laying down in my bed, the bed moved twice and I just thought it was me,nope 2 more times followed. I decided to turn in and around 2:30 am I was awakened by the moving of the bed and two whispers calling out the name "Mallory." I sat up and try to listen, nothing more. At breakfast my sister and I were conversing about our night. She also heard whispers but could not make out what they were. She also said her room was very cold,she had to get up and put on the heat. It's July! We both would definitely stay here again! The best place in ABQ!“

“Great food! I would definitely go again for a nice place to relax after work.“

“Thank you to everyone who recommended Quarter Celtic as having the best fish and chips in the area I moved to NM from a very small fishing town on the OR Coast, so am rather picky about fish and chips as the cod came directly from the ocean and was caught by local fishermen. Hard to live up to that. Quarter Celtic exceeded my expectations! Great atmosphere and service, too. One of the owners sat down to chat for a bit. It’s well worth the drive from Rio Rancho, but I wish there was one here. Quarter Celtic leaves the food and brew at Turtle Mountain and Bosque.in.the.dust. Not even close.“

“Great service great food. Good beer selection 🍺“

“Overall a good time every time from beer to food.The east side location is our local brewery the bartenders were so kind to move a low top table inside for my little 94 year old mama to enjoy her beer. 😊“

“BJ's is always a good choice! our server Nikki was the best! highly recommend her.“

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

“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.

“grate place good beers and friendly fast service“

“Been starting to come here this year primarily for Thursday trivia, and it gets packed! Despite that, service has remained kind and helpful. Parking can become a pain during busy hours, but so far I have never not been able to find a spot. They have a great variety on tap and some alternatives when I'm not in the mood for alcohol. Slice Parlor next door will also deliver food straight to your table if you use their QR code. I have enjoyed my experience here overall.“

“I came here for the first time on Wednesday. outstanding food and service. I liked it so much I had to bring my.wife this time.we loved all the food but the cobbler cheesecake was absolutely amazing we will be back soon“

“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.“

“Great food! Great beer! Great Service!“

“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.“

“don't order over the phone. they will never answer. owner probably has no idea how how terrible their employees are. also have been turned away an hour before they close. employees are more worried about getting off of work early.“
