Outpost 1706 brings craft beers and laid-back vibes to Old Town Plaza
Rumors of a craft beer taproom coming to the heart of Old Town began circulating early this year, then died down, then revved back up, went quiet, and finally came to fruition back during the Balloon Fiesta when Outpost 1706 opened briefly. Now the taproom is fully open, and after making a stealth visit with…

Turtle Mountain taproom inches ever closer toward the finish line

Bosque Brewing is just about ready to open its first taproom in Santa Fe
It takes a lot of grit and guts to open a new business, as any number of our brewery owners here in New Mexico will explain. It takes a ton of nerve, belief in your company, and faith in your teams to open an extension of that business in a new market without the benefit…
Turtle Mountain Brewing signs deal for its first offsite taproom in many years
Only a lunatic would plan to open an offsite taproom during a pandemic. Well, then again, maybe not. After all, building owners still need tenants to fill empty spaces, so maybe, just maybe there are good deals to be found out there.
