Santa Fe Brewing Company is New Mexico's oldest and most award-winning microbrewery. We brew in Santa Fe, serve in our taprooms in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, and distribute around the southwest. We're known for our iconic flagships like Santa Fe Gold, State Pen Porter, and Happy Camper IPA, but we always have something new and exciting on tap or up our sleeves. Easygoing and ready to explore; rooted in New Mexico, hand-crafted, sustainably canned, and up for adventure.

12 oz. can at La Cueva in Taos. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a small, beige head. The nose is pine sap, orange peel, and prickly pear. Sweet and sugary, with a fair bitterness. Pretty tasty.

12 oz. can. Sweet corn, dust, some ambiguous floral hops, and soda crackers. Sweet and sugary, with a mellow, unobtrusive bitterness. Light and crisp. Pretty well balanced, simple, and clean.

Few styles have the range with me from quite good to rather poor as barley wines. I found a tall boy of Chicken Killer at the Total Wine n Santa Fe and, yes, I know the story. The Cowtown snifter receives the pour for me to see a cola-tea colored liquid with a slight but steady head of eggshell foam. I smell yellow fruit, dark fruit, alfalfa and bread. The taste is all right, I have no real complaint. Red plums, raisins, wheat bread, red licorice a vinous touch and hay. Decent.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a frothy, white topping. Tasty, lightly chalky, with notes of ripening citrus fruits, tangerine, pale bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; alright condition. Finishes with further ripe citrus character. Not bad overall.

12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs, CO. Pours a super dark blood red color with a small beige head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Faint dark fruit aroma. Very subtle raspberry and burned malts flavor. Very flat mouthfeel and a short finish. A unique flavor profile that I kinda like, but can't really tell you why.
