Best beer around!

Small place in NE Albuquerque. The beers are fantastic. I’ve had a few at other bars around town and the two I had today measure up to the high standard that La Cumbre has set. Friendly service and friendly patrons. The mug club is a great deal and I’m likely to join soon. An enjoyable place and I’m sure to be back. This is definitely my home for good beer in Albuquerque.

This was an awesome stop! On a Friday afternoon it was lively. It’s a two story pub with brewerania all over. A bar, tables and foosball are downstairs. Upstairs is a pool table and a comfy couch. They had a smoked beer, major props. The IPA is absolutely top notch as well. They do growler fills and have cans of the IPA to go. No food whatsoever.

Jeff has done a great job with the place. Great atmosphere, people, beer, etc. It’s got it all, except parking. The stout and IPA improve with each batch (and were damn good to begin with). Best tap room/brewpub/bar in town.

Taproom up front, brewery in the back. Beers were the best I had in Albuquerque & Sante Fe. Great vibe, friendly atmosphere. Jeff is a terrific host. Meeting up with the RateBeer crowd and friends here over a bunch of great beers was definitely the highlight of my New Mexico trip!

Stopped in around 5 on a weekday and it was pretty crowded. Located in an industrial area in the NE quadrant. No food in house but food trucks outside. Sat at the bar. Surprisingly warm and homey for the exterior and area. Nice bartenders; bearded dudes or super cute gals. I think I counted 12 taps and menu slots. 11 were on and it seemed like 4 or so were permanent. Beers were amazing. Had already been really impressed with a couple NM brewers but this one takes the cake. Prices were good. No complaints here. The must-visit place for Albuquerque.

Great ambiance... Feels like a very nice mix b/w American industrial brewery meets traditional british pub. A little on the bright side, but as I enjoy drinking some local brew while doing my studying, no complaints here. Upstairs is a pool table. However, I would KILL for a dartboard here! The people here are great; always packed. And the brews are likely the best quality and variety in NM. There’s something for everyone here.

Out in the middle of a creepy industrial park with tow lots and god knows what else- typical brewery real estate. No food here but thankfully has a symbiotic relationship with a high quality food truck that brings the food for you into the brewery. Pretty boss set up. Service was quick, efficient, friendly. Tasting flight here is clearly set up by Ratebeerian (the brewer/owner is a ratebeer veteran so go figure). Flight has all of the beers on tap labeled correctly. This is a mega tasting flight so get ready. 14 beers! Beer quality is above average to very high for some of the hoppier stuff. Lively, crowded place. Clearly Albuquerque needed a brewery and erway delivers!

Yet another Ratebeerian opens a brewery, or own Erway! I have known him for many years and he is nothing short of a pleasant, easy going guy. His beers are great! The atmosphere here is very organic-no frills, almost "hippie" -ish, but not in a bad way. This IS A MUST STOP if your in Albuquerque! Im very happy to see this city turn into such a beer mecca. Good things are going on at the foot of the Sandia Mts!

Made 3 trips to the brewery during my days in Albq. The area is unusual, it is pretty much in a commercial/warehouse district, but with quick access to the highway, it doesn’t really matter. The brewery has space at the bar for 10-12 people and lots of tables throughout and some nice leather chairs. There were 10-12 taps (with one guest beer one) and a couple beer pumps. Nice variety in the beers and everything was well made. Snacks were provided, free of charge (I think) and there is a water dispenser so you can stay hydrated. The staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly, it can get crowded and it can take a couple minutes to get a beer on the weekend, but that was not really a big deal. The mug club is a great deal. There are lots of friendly regulars and a nice diverse mix of people. Kid friendly. They don’t serve food, but there was a food truck parked outside one night that had a great hot dog with green chili’s, cheese and bacon. Looking forward to my next visit.
