New Mexico Beer Talk

Us Texans run this place. Don't try to sneak in on our territory.



I am just waiting for La Cumbre to start distributing to TX. That will be a good day.

 

I doubt it will anytime soon. I see it going to Arizona or Colorado before TX...solely due to market size and the commitment to come in.

 

Haha. This is exactly how you all treat NM in the real world too, like your personal playground and red-headed stepchild. Let my people go!

 

My in-laws own a place in NM so I am there all the time. But, I am pretty sure we are exactly the people you are referring to.

 

Hm that's interesting that Southern CO is getting La Cumbre - I think they will do well in CO and hope the whole state sees distro.

 

What is this thread doing in the Texas forum?

 

Good timing! I've got family farting around near Rui Doso and maybe Albuquerque/Santa Fe too. Any limited beers I should ask them to snag for me? Barring any yummy limited releases, maybe some good standards in the area?

Thanks New Mexicans!!!

 

You can get La Cumbre Elevated IPA there. There also is a taproom for Sierra Blanca/Rio Grande in Ruidoso....they also sell (get excited) Guns and Oil there since that is where the beer is made (at the Sierra Blanca Brewery).

She got some La Cumbre at the Lawrence Bros grocery store. They also still had 10 or so cases of Beer Camp left last week and only one moved for the week she was there (and it is sitting in my fridge).

 

I wonder how my buddy gets me Elevated from El Paso?

 

Is this a serious question? If it is, he drives across the border and there is a store there that sells it.

For clarification: The border to the best Mexico as opposed to worst Mexico.

 

As far as I know, he gets it IN El Paso and doesn't drive across. Fk if I know. Guess I should ask him instead. I've never questioned him when he says he is going to get it. I just throw money at him.

 

He crosses into NM. It really is like a 10 mile drive to NM from downtown EP. They have no approvals to sell in TX, unless he knows a place that sells it illegally.

 

the search on BA for Guns and Oil was not very promising. Only a few reviews and not very promising ones at that. You guys have better hands on knowledge to share on it?

 

Great thread idea.. No reason not to just randomly chat about stuff relating to NM beers.

^RE: Elevated in EP.. Would that be the same notion as people in NJ, NYC, and other neighboring states picking up HT in actual beer stores? Is it a state by state issue?

Miggs3030, wasn't Father Nelson a brewery only release? I believe it didnt get sold in any beer stores around town.. Full Nelson may be the same way. I kind of like that concentrated chaos. Especially assuming many beer stores still have 3-4 month old Project Danks.. I just wouldnt know where to look, and that hunt aspect sucks imho

 

It is a lager that is claimed to be "from Austin" but is contract brewed in New Mexico.
