La Cumbre Brewing Co.

Visita recomendable. Una de las mejores IPAS que puedes probar.

The brewery is located in an industrial park with wooden tables. There is a small parking lot, but street parking is available. They have outside tables as well. The brewery offers 6 beers in a flight. They have lots of awarded beers. Great mural art with Ed Hardy-like illustrations. They have a symbol of NM in beer cans. Fourteen beers on tap. excellent service.

Classic spot, the best in town, though their new location I think exceeds the original. Located in a rather secluded industrial area but in the middle of Midtown basically, with a large patio and plenty of indoor seating. Flights available. The taplist was identical to the Westside location I visited earlier, so there wasn't much left to try. Either come here or the Westside location. Can't miss this brewery when in ABQ.

Smaller than I expected given their reputation. However, nice experience. Tried 6 beers. Ranged from good to excellent. Flight of 6 is really priced a la carte. Mine was pretty pricy... $16... but I did get the four booziest beers on the list. Steady but not busy. Nice vibe. Bartender a bit acerbic, but friendly and helpful. Other patrons were talkative too. Conversation was on Wisconsin speech patterns and Roy Orbison. I was amused that there were multiple people there on their work lunch break for a quick pint. Overall, nice place, and worth going out of your way for.

Interesting place, and after visiting, I totally get why this place is so highly rated. Located in an industrial park surrounded by other breweries with a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Around 16 beers of theirs on draft. The big con for this place is that I'm a stouts / barleywines guy, and they didn't really have much in that nature on draft (the one stout I had was very good, but it was just a simple straightforward roasty stout). The big pro is that basically everything they do is spot-on. Maybe the best Munich dunkel I've had. Great stout, great hefe, and so on. If you like well-crafted beer that isn't adjuncted to hell, worth going out of your way to this place. (Also, flight of 6 beers was $11. So, good deal value-wise).

Based on the quality of the beer and the service, it makes complete sense that this is place #1 in the state. Must stop.

Industrial area location. Stopped by mid afternoon on a Friday and they were pretty crowded. Decent amount of beers on tap and the ones I had above average and good. I would stop by again for sure.

Tucked away in an industrial area, La Cumbre is worth finding. You can try a flight of up to six beers, which you probably will want to do (unless you're driving). Their A Slice of Hefen is one of the best Hefeweizens I have ever downed, and their Project Dank is phenomenal. The servers really knew their job and how to make recommendations. If you live in or near Albuquerque and love great craft beer, you'll become a regular here.

The IPAs here are absolutely awesome. Stopped by just before closing and got great service from the staff. A must visit when in town.

We visited mid-week and it was still rather crowded. Plenty of seating at the bar, communal long tables, and small tables. Plenty of their beers from the standards to seasonal and one-offs. The three I had ranged from good to damn’d fine. Large patio out front had a food truck offering up some tasty Mexican food. A real nice stop for a few.
