The mostly complete guide to Christmas hours at New Mexico craft breweries

Check our list before you check your list for those last-minute beers!

As we do for most significant holidays, as a public service we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation. It should come as little surprise that most places will be closed this Thursday, as the Christmas holiday takes precedence. Many breweries are either closed or closing early on Christmas Eve, so make sure to get that last-minute shopping done and grab a pint or something to go before it’s too late.

The breweries known to be open in the metro area on Christmas Day are as follows:

  • Bow and Arrow Brewing: open noon to 10 p.m.
  • Differential Brewing: open 8 p.m. to midnight
  • Flix Brewhouse (both locations): open normal hours, check website for movie times
  • Gravity Bound: open noon to 7 p.m.
  • JUNO Brewery and Cafe: (UPDATE) closed, actually
  • Lasso Brewing: open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Outside the metro area, in terms of breweries that we cover in The Week Ahead in Beer, the only one we for sure know is open is Santa Fe Brewing’s Eldorado Taproom, which will serve beers and sell cans to go from 1 to 6 p.m.
