Fodor's Expert Review Santa Fe Brewing Company
A little off the beaten path, about a 20-minute drive south of the Plaza right where the Turquoise Trail intersects with Interstate 25, this respected craft brewery—the state's oldest—serves fine ales as well as offering tours at its two-story flagship, the Beer Hall at HQ. A variety of beer-friendly food is served via a creative shipping container kitchen and can be eaten indoors or out in the expansive seating area. Santa Fe Brewing Company also has a cozy, smaller tasting room called the Brakeroom, in a historic building on Galisteo Street, and hosts live music at its indoor/outdoor music venue, the Bridge.
