Hey all ... Spending the next week in san jose NM on the girlfriends family's ranch, and will probably be heading into Santa Fe a couple times while there. Any suggustions on bottle shops or bars to check out? We will be heading to Santa Fe brew co one day while there as well.
This should help: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/beer-guide-for-visiting-new-mexico.219169/ Susan's is the bottle shop you want to visit. SFBC is a good stop, but I'd suggest also hitting Second Street, Marble Tap Room, Duel Brewing, and even Blue Corn and the Draft Station. Draft Station will have a good variety of New Mexico beers, including La Cumbre beers. Cowgirl Hall of Fame will too.
Corn Chowder at the Blue Corn is one of my favorites. It's a must stop for me on Santa Fe trips. Actually think they call it grilled corn & chipotle soup.
@ONovoMexicano hit the nail on the head for SF. I live 10 minutes from San jose,NM in Ribera,NM. PM if you want to get together for a mini share at my ranch or your familys. Also I would be interested in IP trade for some Cali beer cans if you want anything from down here.
