The Crew returns to the road to visit breweries in southern NM

It has been a long, long time since multiple members of the Crew piled into a vehicle and hit the road to visit breweries beyond the confines of the Albuquerque and Santa Fe metro areas.

Well, with vaccine coursing through our systems, and eager to avoid a potential influx of Texas tourists in the summer, three of us — Stoutmeister, Luke, Andrew — are trekking south to visit the likes of 575 Brewing in Alamogordo, Cloudcroft Brewing, Lost Hiker Brewing in Ruidoso, and Bonito Valley Brewing in Lincoln.

Those breweries will be new to the three of us, though we should note that AmyO passed through this region in the pre-COVID times. Our hope is to follow up on what she wrote, do some interviews, and learn a little more about each brewery, the towns they call home, and the customers who have loyally supported them throughout this pandemic.

Why go
