Santa Fe Brewing Company Albuquerque Taproom

Damn, I stopped by Santa Fe Brewing for 1 beer, some couple was smoking 😶‍🌫️, I mean I didn’t mind they were hidden, however, it being somewhat legal now. Let’s mention they were OUTSIDE. But the dude from Santa Fe brewing, dude checking IDs, went up to them and asked them to leave, which they complied too, but asked to wait for their food from the Pizzeria and he agreed and came back seconds later after leaving the area by the Pizzeria and YELLED telling them to leave right away for not listening… but I asked why did you agree to let them stay for their food but NOW asking them to aggressively leave? However, a complete 180 on your words, 30 secs prior…? WOW, Customer Service was not OKAY and could have been handled in a different manner. At least is wasn’t fentanyl they were “shooting” but hungry from the cannabis sold in the Connex Box area. Walking by the bathrooms, you promote their business of selling 😶‍🌫️. Keeping the Pizzeria in business, as well as the other establishments serving food.

I really liked this bar. Very hip, but very chill as well. We loved the different offerings on their board. There is good seating for small groups. The tables don't look conducive for pulling together for large groups. It was easy to talk at our table even though there were other patrons around. I'll definitely come back if I'm in Albuquerque.

My brother and I stopped there on our way through from Buffalo NY to PHX AZ. We had just broken down, and were having a rough day. We came in and it was amazing. It was friendly and the Beer was amazing. it was the perfect pitstop and way to raise our sprits. God bless and Go Bills!

Super cool spot to get a fresh 7K or Happy Camper IPA! Right off the highway. Across the street from Rudy’s bbq. And some other decent food options nearby. Definitely a good happy hour spot if I lived here and worked nearby. My nephews said they saw there teacher here. No way. Because we all know that teachers never leave the school.

The place looks cool that’s it people suck especially the bar tenders we came here from out of town. I specifically asked I said well we can drink all in this lobby and outside and stuff. He said yes we buy a couple beers close the tabs get a couple six packs to go back to the motel open a beer waiting for food and he comes and threatens us to leave or we have to throw the beer away. I said dude I asked if we could drink out there. He said oh yeah you can the glasses but not the cans should’ve been specified so for Customer Service being shitty they get one star!!! Two minutes later, our food was done and we were out of there. Don’t plan to go back.!!!

Great brewery with great beers! The staff (Gabe, Jake and Amelia) made me feel very welcome. Next time I come back though town, I’ll definitely stop by, not just for the beers, but also for the great customer service. Keep up the good work!

LOVED this place. Cool design and setup, multiple beers tried and were all good. We didn’t try any food so I can’t speak to that but loved the fire pit and multi level seating. Very unique brewery. Lady behind the bar was a doll with suggestions!

Favorite place to grab a drink and a meal. Customer service is always top notch. Beers are always good and cold.

Dog friendly! Spacious for all! Two levels! TV upstairs for sports as well as downstairs. Plenty of options to eat for all! The service is as expected for having to grab your own beer at entrance. They do not grab your order at your table. Just an FYI only. IPAs, stouts, lager, pale ale for all to enjoy. This location is a no brainer if your traveling through, if your nearby or if you want a quick trip to a brewery. It's just off the BIG I.

I just did take out of two six packs of different IPAs. The bartender was friendly and gave me several samples to taste before I made my selection. The beers were quite good and I would recommend them. I didn't eat here this time, the proximity to several restaurants in an "outdoor food court" type of setting would be quite nice when the weather is warmer.

Just did a big hike in the desert sun? Check out some thousand year old pueblos, or toured downtown ABQ, and looking for a great one stop shop? Come down to this awesome outdoor food hall, anchored by Santa Fe Brewing! You can grab anything from pizza, to Mexican food, gifts, brews, and even cannabis in this sweet mix of stores. It's close to downtown and only a few minutes from Balloon Park. Staff was incredibly nice! They even gave me a poster of my favorite beer so I can hang it at home! I had the 7k IPA, and enjoyed the taste a lot! I also bought a glass and sign, they have some pretty cool stuff! This is a must return for me in Albuquerque. There's two levels of stores all around dozens of shipping containers. It's quite fun and everyone was just enjoying the sun! Thank you!

I came here since I usually try to check out a brewery or two while on work trips. While I was disappointed at the rest of the container park and how early it had closed up, Santa Fe Brewing was not only open it seemed like it was just getting warmed up. I showed up on trivia night so there were groups hunched around some forms and so tables were at a premium. Since I was just a singleton I managed to find seating at a low table with a plant for company. I wanted something a little on the lighter side and ended up getting what they labeled a radler but the descriptor said it's if a seltzer and an IPA had a baby. I am not a big fan of seltzers but it was pretty doggone good. A spot opened up at the bar and I decided to move in. There seemed to mostly be regulars and I was the only who was a new face. The bartender, while busy still managed to check on me and talk a little beer and walked away with some souvenirs to take back. All in all, I enjoyed my experience here and am glad I stopped by.

This place is inside of a food court style buliding that is made up of colorful shipping containers. Really very cool inside. You can enjoy Santa Fe Brewing's great beers and get food from one of the many eateries.

Thank goodness for Santa Fe Brewing Company, because my dinner was so overly salty, beer helped clean my mouth out and keep me full. Walking up to the already cute space made cuter with tons of Christmas decorations, I was super excited. You have to order at the counter and then find a seat. I'm used to this sort of set up, lots of breweries in DTLV are like this so it was easy to navigate. There was someone bussing tables and checking in on patrons as well, which I very much appreciated. I tried a pint of Social Hour and a cocktail that I can't remember the name of, only that it contained Purple People Eater. Of course I had to have that cocktail and of course I sang that song the rest of the night, much to the chagrin of my bf. Both drinks were excellent and I can see why this was the busiest place in Green Jeans. Overall, the vibe here is very much hangout and have fun. Service was great, beer was excellent. Not much more to say.

I love Santa Fe Brewing, but the staff at this location are horrible. My boyfriend and I had the worst experience with one of the bartenders. They were closing at 11, and it was 10:58. I only had a sip or two left of my drink, and the bartender took it out of my HAND without asking. When my boyfriend told him that I wasn't done yet, he came up to him and hit his face with his hand while saying "f**k you, buddy". Horrible experience. This place should have better management. And should think about having employees who don't put their hands on customers. He's lucky my boyfriend is a calm guy.

Not a great drink, but they fixed it and made it right with a refund. The ambiance is awesome though, a fun place to chill with friends

Was a fun stop on our road trip. Lots of different food options to choose from. Had some fun outdoor seating.

This review is actually for Santa Fe Brewing Company's Tin Can Alley location. BBQ and beer seem like a natural combination, so I decided to check out Santa Fe Brewing's selections since I was having dinner from S-A BBQ. I've enjoyed several of their beers in the past and chose a new-to-me Mexican lager called Pepe Loco. This is really tasty - light, crisp, bright, refreshing, and it went perfectly with my smoked potato.

Loved it!!! Tried one of the chicken places there and it was awesome!!! Went back to have some drinks after shopping and the staff in the bar were awesome, the drinks were great and met some friendly people too. Only downside was we wanted to try another place to eat there and the only place open was the chicken place so we ate there again. But overall we enjoyed our experience there. Lots of variety for the food experience, just go there early.

Excellent beer with lots of choices. I'm very happy with the beer but... Being from out of town we wanted to enjoy a local brewery for lunch. This is the place in which we decided we would try. With three of us in our party, the seating inside is limited. It's a small place and almost every table is a table for two. Except one table which seats 4. There was a large tray on the table which I removed and took up to the bar. Not knowing where to put it, I placed it at the end of the bar, out of the way where no one was sitting. Little did I know this would cause all kinds of issues. After returning to my table to get the drink orders, I went back to the bar to order my drinks. I waited, and when it was my turn I went up to the bar. At this point the bartender handed me the tray and said, "I don't do trays. You can put this outside over there." I was stunned! I had no idea why she would feel it necessary to do this. So I looked at her and said, "Well I don't do trays either. I'll just leave it right here.", and placed the tray up against the bar at my feet. Now here's where things got interesting. The guy sitting at the bar turns to me and says, "I don't do trays? What a dick!" Again, I'm stunned! Who is this guy and why does he feel the need to interject? So I turn to him and say something to the effect that it wasn't my tray, I have no idea where it goes, and he should probably shut up before things start to happen. You get the point. So, again, he says something under his breath so I ask if he's got more he wants to say. He says he's going to drop it, and so do I. Keep in mind, this was not at all a friendly conversation, but the bartender was not involved in the least. I get my beers, and I open a tab. We sit for a while and enjoy our beers. After a few minutes, I ask the bartender to put a beer on my tab for the guy who confronted me. Then move out to the patio where we ordered food and enjoyed our beers. After a while, I go in for a second round and I close my tab. I say nothing to the bartender or the guy who called me a dick. I give the bartender a modest tip (I certainly wasn't going to tip too much after that experience) and I go outside to enjoy my time with my group. All was well. The guy who called me a dick came out and I talked to him. Just told him he probably shouldn't get involved in things that don't concern him, especially since he didn't know me and he has no idea how I might react. But no issues. Then the bartender comes outside. She's walking around collecting glasses, to which I say to her, "You'll collect glasses but you don't "do trays"?" And that's when the back and forth started. She said some things to me. I said some things to her. But there was one thing that she said that was very interesting. During our conversation she tried to explain why she felt it was necessary to hand the tray to me and tell me to put it outside. As she put it, "I didn't know the tray wasn't yours...". Ah ha! There's the rub. She didn't know. Yet she felt so entitled and so emboldened that she had to hand it back to me so that I could do it. Seriously? Is this customer service today? Sadly, it is. But there's more!! After collecting all the glasses what does she do? She collected ALL THE TRAYS! According to her, she was doing it to "...prove a point!" What point exactly? That she's willing to do it out of spite but not as part of her job? It's not that she wasn't capable. She just wasn't willing! Even when I cleared the table in her establishment, she still continued to take the position that I was wrong instead of simply apologizing. More words were exchanged and she went inside. After a few minutes she returned to tell me that I was banned for how I treated her. She informed me that she had my picture and I was not welcome back. I'll do you one better. I'm posting my picture, and if you think I'll be back you're sadly mistaken. One thing of note is that the owner of the complex was there to witness what was going on. Maybe he can address this.

Love this area! Cute brewery with restaurants surrounding all around. The beers are fairly reasonable for a non-local. I would be back! Plentiful seating in and out. Great to come meet and hang with friends!

I always enjoy a nice cold beer when coming to any of their locations. Last night I went to the Tin Can Alley location and it was no exception. Their staff was super kind and helpful and you don't often see that at a brewery or bar. I opted to try the NMX Standard last night and for a light beer it was really good and refreshing. My normal favorite of all their brews is the Java Stout. If you love a dark stout and you love coffee, this beer is for you. I am not a fan of IPAs so I haven't tried them, but I also love their Nut Brown Ale and Pepe Loco. I'll be back! Cheers!

Pretty good beer and the area was great. Make sure to get a pizza next door to go with the beer

A great experience at green jeans farmery! Dog friendly with a calming and pleasant atmosphere!

Love the atmosphere. Great staff. Enjoyed the wait staff and IPA beer. Did not have any gear to offer. This is a second visit and will stop again.

Amazing place to get good beers, seltzers and pizza. So relaxing and enjoyable fully recommended and try all the beers.

I stopped by here this past Sunday night with my wife for some evening drinks. Our hotel while we were staying in Albuquerque happened to be right across from Green Jeans which is where this Sante Fe Brewing Company Taproom is located. If you have never been to Green Jeans before it's a space made out of shipping containers and this Taproom takes up space on both the first and second level. We entered into the bar area on the first floor and that's where my wife and I stayed. There was a large bar off to the right and tables off to the left with Sunday Night Football on TVs all around. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to order a flight here. At Sante Fe Brewing Company this means picking 5 - 4 oz pours for $7.50. I ended up choosing the Nut Brown Ale, 7K IPA, Happy Camper IPA, imperial Java Stout and western Bloc IPA. All of the beers were good representations of their styles and I was happy to be able try 3 different IPAs since I love IPAs. Out of the bunch I think that the Western Bloc IPA was my favorite with the Happy Camper coming in 2nd. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Sante Fe Brewing Company occupies a pretty cool space here and all of their beers that I tried were good as well.

Enjoyed a few beers here on Sunday afternoon. It has a unique space in Green Jeans which is a fun atmosphere. Not a lot of inside seating but a nice outside area which is covered. The beer is good and you can bring in food from the restaurants in Green Jeans. You do have to get your beer from the bar; there was no waiter service.

Oldest server at the counter threw a plate and a pen at me when I wanted to order a sampler and when I wrote in different places that he had it mind and gave me "The bottom part was made with black board material so I thought everyone would get it" More cold comments followed and he could not read anything that I wrote in a bad mood and complained at my writing. He should have written it like every other craft beer place we visited. Beer did not change my impression about the place which hire this kind of personnel.

We loved Santa Fe brewery! It's great year around! I'm actually surprised this is my first review. The beer is great, atmosphere is amazing ! The food around here is just a perfect combination!

Stopped in to get a quick drink. The imperial Java stout is quite possibly the best coffee stout I have ever had. I didn't have time to try anything else but I wish I did. Great atmosphere, cool little spot, especially if you have a dog and want a place to hang out with them. Also there's some solid food options in the area.

This is a great place. At Green Jeans. You can order from any Green Jeans restaurant and eat here. You can sit inside or outside, upstairs or downstairs. Tons of seating for any taste. Service was top notch. We never needed anything. Tons of beers on tap. Something for everyone.

Opl atmosphere... wry similar to one of my favs' in Golden CO-Golden Mill! Convenient right across from our hotel!

We were staying at the Hampton Inn across the street so popped in. Awesome idea shipping containers with a brewery tap room and food court. We had a beer , pizza that was so yummy and a wonderful ice cream. This place is awesome the beer was great. Very relaxed and fun vibe with a great selection of food to try. We love this concept and really wished we lived close to a place like this. Relax and enjoy lots of outside seating with protection from the sun and wind plus heat lamps for colder days.

want to suffer along with the manager's miserable life, then pop in to be berated and ignored? the beer is okay with flavors added to boost the lack of true brewing. They feel like it is a bother to serve, and it is palpable. unless you are a regular, that kept coming back in spite of the mediocrity, you wont be greeted with warmth. sad, people make or break your dining experience and the manager wants you to suffer along with her miserable life.

The girl at the door was very rude. But, bartender Sean was excellent! Great personality. This is a great atmosphere for people in their mid twenties and thirties. They did smart business by having multiple businesses (e.g. brewery, ice cream, bbq, pizza, etc) all in one area.

Enjoyed this place, good beer! Will come back. Inexpensive growler fills here! Very busy on Saturday but handled the crowd nicely. I reccommend them highly!

Garbage is all I can give for review of this establishment! If I could give a zero star review that would be more fitting. To start we sat down at the bar ordered a beer they served said beer then moments later decided to not serve us that said drink anymore took my friends beer dumped it and told us we'd have to pay an leave.....pay for what the beer you just dumped out ?? I think not that's completely unacceptable!!! It's disgusting that they treat customers this way!!!! DO NOT GO HERE it's a complete waist of money and time!!!!! Service is completely horrendous!

Wow such a fun spot! I loved the setup with the container-esque decor, as well as the other businesses in the area that all worked together to create this cool atmosphere. It's genius to have a brewery/taproom with a bunch of mini food spots to grab food from. Especially since the food spots will come into wherever you are sitting within the venue and bring your delicious food right up to you. My coworkers and I enjoyed a few flights and beers, shuffleboard, and a variety of food from all the food spots. Pizza, hot dog, and tacos were all great options- you can't go wrong!

Brought my foster puppy for a Watermelon Mountain Ranch adoption event and had a couple of pints. Nice relaxing area with plenty of seating. Fun vibe and friendly service. I had the Nut Brown Ale and hubs had Happy Camper IPA. Delicious, delicious, delicious! Didn't eat as we were just picking up our foster after the event P.s. He's still available for adoption

Only had time for one beer. I had the Brown Ale and my wife had the Adobe Igloo. It's a small brewery but we'll worth a visit. They also have beer you can take with you. A pint is only $3. Outdoor space and indoor space. I plan to visit here again.

Hmm, what can I write to enlighten a newb? Especially considering 100+ others have already enlightened you with their sweet take. Maybe an old man's perspective? I know, I know, if the writer isn't a young woke liberal, what the F do they know? Right? Well I'll tell ya this, though I might not rep the role that much these days, once upon a time I was quite hip! I was a clubbin' dude sportin' a For Members Only jacket and an oh so cool mullet! It was all the rage I tell ya! What does that mean now? Nada! Zilch! Absolutely Dick! Nevertheless, here's my take: A fantastic selection! I enjoyed a couple pints of their "Social Hour," which is a mild wheat beer (think Blue Moon Light), minus the orange slice garnish. It's small though. No entertainment. Not exactly "Comfy." I can't see singles flocking inside hoping to meet "The One." It's a place where you and a pal swing by for a couple well crafted microbrews. Which is all good! Cheers!

Great experience with great beer! I absolutely love their 7k IPA, so I was excited to try it on draft. They have a really great patio both on ground level and one floor up, so it was nice to enjoy some cold beer on a warm day out. Our server was super friendly and impressively attended to us and a bunch of other tables, which I'm almost certain she was the only one there manning the bar. The Green Jeans district is very fun, so can't wait to come back.

Great spot! Economically priced beers and seltzer's. Honestly such a dope spot that springs creativity and good vibes. They do have other businesses around which is awesome if you wanna get a fresh haircut or yummy food. So thrilled we made this apart of our New Mexico trip. This is truly a MUST SEE brewery.

Worst service I ever seen in a brewery and I go to one ever city I go visit. I have no idea how the beer taste after waiting for ten minutes at the bar while the bartender talking with her friends I walked up... she did look up a couple times at me but would not come over and they were slow...

Beer here is amazing but the staff IS FUCKING DEPLORABLE. CARD YOU EVERY SINGLE DRINK EVEN IF THEY WERE THE ONE TO OPEN YOUR TAB. The bartenders will take your order, start a conversation with a different customer, and then proceed to forget what you ordered, and start the whole cycle all over again. Twice the staff has tried to be overachievers by stacking their cups higher than their heads and dropping them in the dining room, almost hitting me and other guests. Refuse to order food here because they can't even get the right beer on their flight paddles..at least it's an area where other food places can bring the food to you. TLDR//good beer:shit service

If you know anything about me, you know I'm a fan of ABQ breweries. Yeah, sure Santa Fe is not ABQ and Santa Fe Brewing is not from ABQ. Whatever. Santa Fe has been at Green Jeans for a few years now. They deserve an honorary Albuquerque residency. Sanat Fe Brewing does a great job. Good beer. Not the best in the state, but nowhere near the worst. Far from it, in fact. The beers are solid. But they do feel mass-produced. Think the Bud of the state. Alright, that might be a bit of an over statement. Definitely not that bad. But Santa Fe in comparison to Marble or La Cumbre, well, Budweiser. The site at Green Jeans is awesome, not just for the beer, but also for all the other great shit around it. But that's not a positive for Santa Fe. But what is a positive here is the great indoor space, and the even better outdoor space. Tables, fire pits, good beer and great food from the nearby restaurants. All good.

Verdict: It's all about the delivery. Not a bad beer. Never one that's blown me away but I've finished every pint poured (for me of course). One of the best things about Santa Fe Brewery at this location is the combination of the beer with the surrounding food. Whatever you order for food, simply tell them that you'll be at the brewery and they'll come find you there. You can't take the beer to the food due to liquor laws so be good to the brewery on your sequencing. I like how the businesses here work together. This location isn't free of challenges for the restauranteurs. When they do persevere, they're getting by because of that teamwork.

Beer was delicious and our server was really quick, but it seems like for how long the wait list was downstairs there were a few empty tables around. They were also sold out of 1/3 their beers the day we went and the guy making the wait list was confusing. We will of course return!

Santa Fe brewing is a staple in New Mexico! If you haven't gone or tasted any of their beer... you need to go ASAP! I love the green jeans location! The ambiance and choice of drink munch food will not disappoint! The wait staff rocks and we found a new hip hop/edm/trance.... She rocked! So get there!

Delicious beers! Great atmosphere. I get the Pepe loco, my husband gets a darker beer and this time he got the adobe chile. Awesome

Cool little establishment where there's eateries around that you can order food and bring it into the bar to eat and drink. The beers were good but unfortunately due to covid, they only allow three glass of beers per customers. We would of definitely ordered more and stayed longer if they allowed us.

I have visited this establishment three times and have never left with a frown. They have outdoor, upstairs, downstairs, and bar seating. If you sit at the bar you will get the best service. It is usually crowded, and a bit small. They only serve beer here, great beer, but you can bring food inside from the nearby vendors. Santa Fe Brewing has two flagship beers--State Pen Porter and Chicken Killer Barley Wine. You will see t-shirts with these logos high on the wall across from the bar. If you order either of these you can't go wrong. They are both complex, robust, flavorful beverages with lots of layers. Don't just stick to these though. Order a flight to see what you like the most. They often have new selections that are worth trying. On my last visit, my wife and I ordered the Octoberfest Marzen, Hefeweizen, Chaiway to Hell, and Happy Camper IPA. All of these were great tasting, the best being Chaiway to Hell. Lots of good spices in this one. Some of the other IPAs, besides Happy Camper, are a bit weak. The only reason I gave four stars is because it can be hard to find a seat. I have had to stand more than once. This aside, I will be back over and over for the beer!

So Santa Fe Brewing Company definitely holds a special place in my heart. This was the first brewery and Green Jeans was the first place I've visited in New Mexico. So my review is definitely influenced by that but still this place is awesome! I have had several beers here and all of them have been delicious. I am an IPA kind of guy and they always have several different IPAs on tap. If you don't care for IPAs, no worries, they have a variety of beer. Besides having awesome beer, I really just love the layout of this place. They have a cool upstairs and their outside space is great too. They have an excellent patio so you can relax and watch the sunset over the volcanoes. The staff is always super friendly and very professional. If you aren't sure what beer you will like, they will give you samples so you can find the right beer for you. I highly recommend the 7K IPA. Definitely one of my favorite beers in Albuquerque.

Very disappointed when my 4 beer was watered down and when I asked why they basically laughed at me

Santa Fe Brewing Company is one of the vendors within the Green Jean plaza. It's a pretty cool place and the brewery has a decent amount of seating with a few spots at the bar and several tables. They have a second floor as well, but I did not go up to check it out. This is definitely a chill place and they also serve food here which is a huge plus to me. // BEER // Oktoberfest: I'm usually not a fan, but this one was really good. It was smooth and had so much body to it. I would definitely recommend this! Hefeweizen: I'm a huge fan of hefes so I had to try this one out. It was pretty simple and pretty basic to me. Not bad, but nothing special either. Overall, I would come back again for the chill vibe. It wasn't too crowded when we came, but I can definitely see this place getting crowded at night on the weekends.
