Marble Brewing - Albuquerque, NM

Our second stop in Albuquerque was Marble Brewing. I heard a lot about them, so I figured we had to stop. It isn't in too much of a busy area and the building itself was nothing special. By this time it is later into Tuesday afternoon and the place was packed.

We grabbed a table and of course I went with a sampler. I went with the Amber, IPA, Oatmeal Stout, Imperial Red, Pumpkin Noir and the Stout.  Sadly...nothing blew me away. The Pumpkin Noir was real tasty, the IPA wasn't bad but the rest fell flat with me. I was surprised after hearing such praise..I just much preferred La Cumbre personally.

But if you're in the area it's only minutes from La Cumbre and no reason not to check it out!

La Cumbre Brewing Company - Albuquerque, NM

After our horrific Day 4 on the trip, Day 5 was a great way to get things started because we started at La Cumbre. Once again, like Toppling Goliath, this place was just a small building with tables and a bar nothing fancy. Kind of crowded for a Tuesday afternoon.

I got the sampler and we took a seat at a table. The stand out here is Project Dank...what an incredible beer. Elevated IPA is also a very well balanced, easy drinkable IPA that I enjoyed very much. Lazy Sunday Session IPA wasn't anything too special. And the stout was very flavorful I liked it a lot.
They didn't sell much merchandise, but they DO sell freshly bottled and canned beers of a handful of their brews.

If you like beer and you're in Albuquerque this is a no brainer..it's most likely why you're in Albuquerque. So kick back and enjoy some great brews at La Cumbre...http://www.lacumbrebrewing.com/#bottom
