Starr Brothers Brewing Company

 

Newish looking free-standing building a few block off the highway toward the north side of town. Large L-shaped bar opposite the entrance seats about 30, with plenty of communal tables about the room, and a gated patio out front. 16 or so beers on tap, I especially enjoyed the Hazette. Hush Puppies were very nice also. Very laid back place. Friendly bartender.

Just garbage product all around. Mediocre is the name of the game at this place. Can’t keep up with the rest of the beers in the area

Albuquerque has lots of fantastic breweries. This is not one of them.

This place is truly let down by its service. The vibe is alright. It's quite modern but in a dull way - not particularly interesting or inviting. The beer is rather good, with plenty to choose from, and the food is delicious. But the service... It's as though no one on the waitstaff could be bothered to check on the customers with even moderate regularity. I've been there a number of times and it's been the same each time. We once had a waiter who was obviously a high, something which I wouldn't give half a sh*t about if it didn't affect his performance. It absolutely did though - he didn't write our orders down and then botched some, leading to a long wait for a few of our party of 5. The place has real potential (and not much competition in the area) but needs to pick up the slack in some easy-to-fix areas before it realizes said potential.

 

Went by for dinner on a weeknight. The restaurant/tasting rom was open and bright with tons of windows. The interior was a bit plain but comfortable. Service was only so-so; our waiter was friendly but not very attentive and didn't seem very well trained. He was more like an enthusiastic amateur rather than a professional waiter, but maybe he was new. The food menu was short but had some variety and my meal was enjoyable. The tap list of house beers was impressive, although the exact number escapes me. I had a sampler and all the beers were well-made, enjoyable and well-handled. All-in-all this was a nice place for a meal and good beer.
