The mostly complete guide to Thanksgiving hours at NM breweries

Red River Brewing has a special flight of beers for Thanksgiving, featuring Imperial Cream Ale, Sweet Potato Marshmallow Stout, Pumpkin Pie Ale, Pumpkin Pistachio Porter, Cranberry Sour, and Butter Pecan Ale. (Photo courtesy of RRBC)

As a public service that we do for most significant holidays, we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation for whatever is up next. In this case, it is Thanksgiving, a.k.a. the great day of gluttony, watching football (if you can stomach those match-ups), and arguing with family. We highly recommend picking up some local craft beer to get through all of that.

Like most holidays, this is far from a complete list. Breweries were kinda last-minute at announcing their hours of operation. Which is just fine, for they have labored enough over this weird sorta-fall/early-winter stretch of late.

Here are all the hours of operation that we have so far in regards to Thanksgiving itself. We will note if a brewery is closing early today (Wednesday) or staying closed or opening late Friday, but if it’s just one listing, that means normal hours for the other days. We gotta be honest, it’s most likely that all the TBAs below are closed Thursday and open normal hours today and Friday. But, call in advance before you head over to your favorite spot, just to make sure.
