La Cumbre Brewing Co

employee (daughter) walked me through the actual brewery where the beer is created . Very amazing experience. Brewing is an art & a science . Back in the public areas, cozy spaces upstairs, downstairs & bar . Board games & La Cumbre original merch . Also outside seating, dog friendly. Good tunes & string lights outside with a food truck (great Mexican food) . Table service inside & out . Amazing selection of Brews, all with their particular styles & flavors described for informed selection . One of the founding fathers of Albuquerque Brewery. Had a wonderful experience & Will Be Back.

Best beer. Delightful on the palate and the marketing on the cans so much fun to read. Love the seasonal Oktoberfest. Graphics on cans is great. Wish we had more access to selection in CO.

Elevated is my favorite beer. Depending on what vibe you’re looking for the bar may or may not be for you, however, don’t skip out on their to go cans. The only thing that could make this bar better is if they had a kitchen (they typically have a food truck or two nearby but not always)

I've wanted to be a fan of this place for a year or two. I'd only ever been here on Fridays in the afternoon when I got out of work early. It's always been fairly empty and I've always enjoyed it until last Friday. I hit the bar (yes it's a bar) around 330pm and that is the beginning of the end for me. It's got a weird vibe that I just can' relate with and I won't be back. Think of every negative brewery caricature you can think of and they are present. Bonus points for good beer and decent pricing but negative points for the crowd...

Very nice place to do business. All staff is friendly and professional, they received me early, I don’t spend 45 minutes loading 9 pallets, (so fast), no complaints, just no facilities o restroom to drivers, no overnight parking available but having a small bar into the brewing with restrooms, just parking in the street, no docks there, they load you with forklift but they working fast, thank you

Nice cool place to get out of the hot sun. They have a nice selection of beers to choose from. They have Pilsners, Lagers, IPA’s ambers and sours. This place is dog friendly with outside seating. The seating as one walks in is a little crowded, but it looks like they have upstairs seating too. The music wasn’t too loud. The staff really knowledgeable and guided us through the selection. They sample beer and they have flights Overall a great place to chill.

Always appreciate the laid back vibe here. Plenty of space, friendly staff, and great rotational beers on tap and to go. Always a must stop place when swinging through Albuquerque. Definitely in the Top 3 New Mexico breweries. 👏

One of the original craft-beer darlings of Albuquerque, and still going strong. Wide range of beers, tending toward more West Coast inspiration. Compact, but colorful two-story taproom plus outdoor seating. Look for local art for sale, too. Tight parking. Friendly staff. Enjoyed it!

We hadn't been here for a while but we both think this place has the best micro brew beer in Albuquerque. The beer is great and the service was good. We don't come here a lot as we aren't big on food truck people but we think they have them most of the time at dinner so you can get food here. The place is nothing fancy but it's comfortable and fun to hang around with the crowd that goes there.

Exceptional and attentive service. There is always a bartender coming around asking for a refill. They have some of their beers ready to go in a fridge. They have a decent selection of board games and foosball upstairs and outdoor seating. There are other bars nearby so you can bar hop if you want!

Really great bar. Love how dog friendly they are. Inside vibes are cozy and inviting. Bar tenders are super friendly! Always prompt service.

Yes, yes and yes. I dropped in on a recent visit to Albuquerque and everything beer I had was exceptional and the blue corn Mexican lager was incredible. The vibe here is very cool and I appreciated the relaxed yet festive customers! I'm pretty sure that if I lived nearby that I'd be coming in rather regularly!

Long has it been since La Cumbre Brewing has been on my list and long has it been where I have been dying to try their beer. But at last Steve and I had the opportunity to try some and what we had didn't disappoint us in any way at all. The absolutely lovely beer we had from this brewery was the Blue Corn Mexican Lager. I love these kinds of lagers anyway so when beer options from this brewery were presented to me I didn't hesitate in the slightest to determine what to get. Flavor features with this beer are corn, cleanness and a zippines to it. It's also very light bodied and extremely easy to have more than just one in one sitting. Truly a great Mexican Lager and I highly anticipate the next opportunity to get this beer again I love it so much. And perhaps with some arm twisting I will try some of their other beer options as well.

Great service. Outdoor seating for those with puppies. Excellent beers. Cool space indoors. Whoever was in charge of music has great taste.

I always enjoy their beers! It's been way too long since my last visit, so excited to be here. Their beers are awesome and the service is always a winner! The atmosphere is cool and vibes colorful New Mexico. Great spot to hang out!

The beer was great. The food truck was good. The service was great. This place has a great atmosphere.

I hadn't been to La Cumbre in 10 years or so, but it is still the same place with some improvements if memory serves me correctly. Although I couldn't drink during this visit, my friends enjoyed their beers, and I had kombucha. I appreciated the non-alcoholic drink option, but do wish there were more options. Their draft was very IPA flavor heavy, and I couldn't drink it, being allergic to hops. It was fairly busy at 4 pm on a Saturday and I was happy to see a food truck parked outside.

Fun, clean, cute little to visit I like porters and stouts and my husband likes hazy IPA had work today really liked it because the staff was nice. The bar was clean. The brewery has two levels It is up and well-maintained.

Yummy innovative beer and delish place to hang and soak up the dank IPA s or other tasty brews !!!!!

Good beer, awesome art design on the cans, and many seasonal beers, are a few things I love about this brewery. Aside from terrible parking, very inconsistent food truck appearance, and lackluster inside space, this brewery is a very important part of the Albuquerque craft beer scene. Recently, the staff have started pouring 12 ounces in a pint, with a huge amount of head. If you are scrimping on the amount of beer you serve in a pint, then charge me for a 12 ounce pour. Even your cans are a full 16 ounces. It's really disheartening to see 2 inches of head on the lighter beers and 1 inch of head on the pints. Fill it up!!!! (Looking at you too Gravity Bound!) I love your beers, but I will go to other great breweries who don't practice this behavior.

One of the older breweries in the area. More of a pub-like interior with an upstairs are and a patio. In an industrial area with parking along the street. Half of the selection is IPAs, which I detest. No onsite food, but there is a spot for a food truck. Good service. Mexican lager was refreshing, but would have liked a lime wedge with it.

Good beer and fun atmosphere with beer-minded people. Service is always friendly and helpful.

We stopped here today on our way to Santa Fe. We know how great the beers are. The taproom was very cool. But the best part was our server, Sarah. She was amazingly friendly. Energetic, warm and humorous. She made the quick stop a memorable event. We will definitely return and hope to see her again

So so good. The humus is to die for. The pecan chicken is yummy. The service is always great. The atmosphere feels homey. Save your money because it's not cheap!

Went in for a few beers and some street food. The food was tasty from the truck a bit pricey for what I got a few tacos. The beer was absolutely incredible. I got a couple of IPAs, but the service was a bit stiff and unfriendly. The crowd was generally very bearded and somewhat friendly, but Not somewhere I would rush back to.

I'm here at least once a week, and I really don't think I've ever had a bad experience! One of my favorite breweries in the city! Love that they are not only dog friendly, but CAT friendly too! If you time it just right you can get a gorgeous view of the sunset w/ views of the mountains with your brews.

One of the highest rated breweries in Albuquerque. Large selection of draft beer. Flights of six are available. Great diversity of beer from lagers to hazy IPA to stouts. The hazy IPAs were the stand out. Fast casual, order at the bar. Seating upstairs and downstairs. No food but food truck available. Outdoor seating available as well with some shade. Overall recommend checking out if you are into beer and in Albuquerque!

Back in the day, we stopped at La Cumbre Brewery, while on a hiking/beer tour of the area, and I realized my review never posted- so here it is (with reminder insights from Untapped app)- Seemingly tucked away, like a hidden gem, we learned they were actually one of the O.Gs of the ABQ beer scene, providing a variety of staple beers, with rotating specialty taps on draft frequently, & were a much bigger deal than we realized. We opted for splitting flights- because everything sounded so delicious to decided on just 1-2- and we settled in on the outside patio table area, soaking up the sun and ambiance. Reviewing my untapped ratings: I gave positive ratings to the variety- there were beers I absolutely loved -such as their base Sun Fade & Elevated IPA- and while I may not have loved the rotating seasonals-they earned middle of the road ratings, and notes of being impressed with the unique dankness or flavor combinations. Overall, I would visit again when visiting family in the area- a very positive experience!

Haley provided amazing service and made the whole experience great. Her knowledge even led me to trying new beers.

NEW MEXICO BREWERY @lacumbrebrewing was one of the the OG Breweries in Albuquerque to pave the way. They have amazing beers and a great brew house that hosts rotating food trucks to complete the experience. These guys keep relevant with amazing tasting beers and remain one of the Best in 505.

We were there December 22nd at 2:30 . After 25 minutes we couldn't get served at our table or the bar and we left the patio was only partially filled as was inside minus all the tables they've taken out. There was only one server . We felt sorry for her but we weren't going to wait any longer . Same story as last time I was there .

Great beer menu and nice a nice building. A little empty on a Friday night but the few who were there made for a fun night.

This is a good bar to visit any time whether it is after a stressful day at work, a meeting place to social or taking your dog for a cold one. They have some food trucks nearby incase your are hungry and some bar games available. They have a good selection and it can be hard to pick. If that's the case then be sure to grab a flight (up to 6) to get a taste of what they have to offer. Definitely give this brewery a try as it is worth going to!

I am a dark beer Stout and Porter drinker. It is few and far between to find a local brewery that has them. The Malpais Stout was very well blended. The decor note worthy.

Absolutely cool atmosphere. They had a large selection of gear. The beer is top notch and staff went above and beyond to help with beer selection. Love this place and will be returning - many times!!!!

Gotta admit, I haven't been the biggest fan of La Cumbre's distribution selection in the past, but so glad I decided to stop by their brewery on my way passing through ABQ. I wish they'd can more of their experimental selection. You can tell they're producing high quality stuff. This is exactly what you'd expect from a great brewery -- warehouse district, great food truck, casual and inviting environment, and high quality brews.

Excellent 4th celebration going on here today. So many people showed up for $4 burgers or dogs. Yup. Good place to just meet some friends and have a beer. You can bring your dog is you like they have water and snacks. Mans best friend hanging while you have a beer. Make sure to try all the beers Upstairs is a foosball table

We stopped here on our Road trip through Albuquerque and had actually seen this beer at a corner store on Flagstaff, which was one of the reasons we decided to stop here. The outdoor seating was very ample with overflow seating into the parking lot. Inside seating was also very spaced out. We got the Hazy IPA and the Dortmunder. The Dortmunder was a straight forward light beer great for the casual beer drinker. The Hazy was a pretty solid and fruity IPA with interesting notes. There was also a food truck, but we did not eat any food. I would definitely recommend stopping by here on your way through Albuquerque. It is not in the most scenic location though. Covid-19: Servers all wore masks.

I stopped in to pick up a growler and a couple of other new beers today. The server was not happy and seemed annoyed. It's sad because I used to enjoy the service. I guess it's a gamble. The beer is excellent and I guess you have to put up with not so good service. I guess I will try again later.

Great beer, interesting people. I think some of these folks were extras in Game of Thrones. The Lords of Smoke are awesome. Fantastic birria tacos. Easy going, laidback atmosphere for people who enjoy great beer, no pretense and a good time .

I was on a trip & went here on the recommendations of a couple guys at the Harley dealership. Nice place with good beers. I did a flight of Elevated, Project Dank, Hoplaunch, Cactus Shack, Siren Song & Vivid. Cactus Shack was my favorite of those with Siren Song also a great brew. Siren is a whiskey barrel aged Imperial red, really good. Cactus Shack was a DIPA. They were out of my size in shirts, but I did walk away with a nice glass.

Morgan and Riley are probably my favorite people and all of New Mexico. I went out of my way to come to this brewery in hopes that the IPAs would be everything I've heard about the Internet. Well, they are. On top of the incredible taste of the IPAs like Elevated and Project Dank, the vibe and music and people who are second to none. If anyone is reading this and is within two hours of the Cumbre, get over here. I'm not a connoisseur, but I've been to 100 breweries in the last five years or so. This is right up there with invasive species in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Nails! Oh, when I asked Morgan where we should eat for dinner... Here is a list of places she gave me. Who the hell does this? Please come to this brewery. Place is cherry.

A local spot worth visiting. Had the vibe of a Starbucks but for beer. There's usually delicious food trucks outside and it rarely ever gets too packed. Would recommend getting some take home beer too.

We've been to La Cumbre multiple times and I am just now reviewing it! La Cumbre is one of the more unique breweries in town! Not only is it in an industrial part of town, but it is unique in and of itself - the decor is all beer-based, the lighting is dim, and the staff and patrons are eclectic. There are almost always 12+ beers on the menu ranging in style from wits to imperial stouts and most of them are fantastic. My personal favorite is the Formulation IPA! La Cumbre also offers a variety of canned 4-packs to go which is great to keep the party going after you head out for the night! Cheers!

It's been a few months since opening down the road from us..... we live this new neighborhood brewery! Le Cumbre has always been a favorite of my husbands, now it's within a quarter mile from us! Located in the new Daskalos Mall and sits right on the corner. This brewery serves a vast group. They have a great outdoor patio which is quite popular.... hopefully they get heaters for the winter because indoors will be packed. Beautiful murals painted on the walls and the light fixtures with New Mexico plates fit the ambience perfectly! The wait staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our favorite wait person is Jenna! She always greats with a smile. I am partial to the beer beer which is always on tap but I did like their thunderbolt and the one that started with a "d" maybe dumble.... anyway beer is all good and will do well in its location. On a Friday night we love going for beer and eating dinner. Food comes from local restaurants. My favorite is M'Tuchis. They have a special menu for the brewery which has pizza and spaghetti and some antipasto platters. Great combo with Le Cumbre beer. Planning on going to a yoga class next Saturday! Can't wait! Nice addition to the neighborhood!

Stalker as always. There are tons of reviews on how great this place is, and as a local who has been coming here for years, it's just gotten more solid & good. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the beer is interesting and good and sold all over town. We came after work & there's a food truck outside and it was crowded but not crazy- I got a seat not long after getting here. They have a cool upstairs room and great art on the walls. I highly recommend checking this place out!

When traveling I like to check in to the app Untappd. In Albuquerque the one brewery that always has a top trending beer is La Cumbre. They have yet to let me down. Was there after work to try a hot trending DIPA, Origins. Wow. Was it good. La Cumbre is a chill spot that gets crowded sometimes, but the folks keep to themselves mostly and the staff there is super friendly and helpful. Yup, I'm a fan!

The beer is still great. Unfortunately, the last two times we went, the staff person who helped us was pretty rude. We sat upstairs both times, and the same person helped us. One of the times, she rolled her eyes at my wife for asking to sample two beers. She was rude to other guests at tables upstairs, too. One group left because of it. We probably won't go back to this one. We thought the first bad experience was a fluke, but two times in a row really soured us on it. Again, we like La Cumbre's beer, so that's a bummer.

We were told that this brewery had the best art/logo! And they were right!! Beautiful art and their merchandise was awesome!! We wish we had more time to enjoy their beer, but we had to get to the hotel. We had tried their Dank beer at their other location and it was very good. Next time we will have more time to enjoy this brewery!!

If you LOVE the IPA beer this spot is truly for you. Maybe I just wasn't in a IPA mood but only thing great about this place was the staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We came in on a Saturday night about 10pm we were told it's last call so we ordered a flight because of their 3 beer limit and the flight was about 6 2 ounce Beers which in my opinion were all super hoppy and had a very strong IBU (even when menu suggested otherwise) again if this is your thing you will love this post but if you're looking for a better selection of beer I don't recommend this place. Go to Downshift Brewing Co or Santa Fe Brewery they have better selections. This is not a knock on this business because they are clearly a successful brewery but it's not a for everyone type of place. I may come back when I am in a mood for a hoppy IPA.

Thoroughly enjoyed this brewery! Loved the Tonal Bliss IPA, Elevated IPA, Acclimated IPA, and there was something Piney that was delish! Servers were friendly. Live band playing and the place was hopping! Tried to get food but the truck ran out. I guess you need to hit them early.

Great beer and service:) We asked for a lot of samples and are high maintenance so we really appreciate the service. Kate was very good and gave us great local information:) Thank you:)

La Cumbre is a must stop for my husband and I when we're visiting family in Albuquerque. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back. The food trucks that frequent this brewery are an added bonus to the La Cumbre's craft beers. My personal favorite is the Slice of Heffen Hefeweizen. Crisp and citrusy with a full mouth flavor. I highly recommend!

La Cumbre is quickly becoming one of my favorite watering holes in town! I must say that I mostly go for the food trucks because, well, eating is my main hobby... but I've been trying more brews and I love everything I've tried from LC. The mango pineapple gose is my new favorite sour, while the stout is my favorite beer to date. My favorite part about this location is the wonderful outdoor patio! It's comfy and dog- friendly. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Thanks for the great brews, food trucks, and service!

Been to most breweries in Albuquerque and have found this one to have the best lineup of beers in terms of style spectrum and quality of each beer. Service was excellent and patient with questions. Next time in Albuquerque this is the first stop. Must try the hefe, Munich Dunkel, and all the IPAs.....oh, and save room for the Baltic Porter!!

5 stars: art inside, amount of outdoor seating 3 stars: all the beers were quite average and not a single one of the 8 I tried was memorable. I'm not sure why this brewery is so highly rated (my credentials: 3,500 unique beers drank on Untappd)
