So Many Breweries. So Little Time.
Join us for a guided tour of Albuquerque's exciting beerscape.
Albuquerque is a craft beer lover’s paradise. With over 30 breweries in the metro area, there is something for every beer drinker. We’ve got crisp pale lagers, hoppy and bitter IPAs, juicy and fruity NEIPAs, funky and complex barrel-aged sours, malty and roasty porters and stouts, and everything in between. Let us show you around.
ABQ Beer Tours make for a fun date night! How about a company outing (much more fun than the ropes course)? Girls night out? Dude-bonding exercise?
Our Cicerone Certified Beer Server® guides will lead you through the topography of Albuquerque’s diverse brewscape.

Gordon with ABQ Beer Tours did a great job with our group. We were at a bachelor party in Albuquerque for the weekend, and he brought us to three different... read more breweries. He knows his beer. He explained the different beers to us and provided flavor wheels to help those in the group newer to beer tasting be able to better describe what we were detecting. He was also very relaxed and personable throughout. Our party included an absolute non-beer drinker. Gordon even got along with that guy! Gordon did a great job helping him try different beers that might work with his palate. The food he provided was top-notch hole-in-the-wall perfection—it is billed as an "appetizer" on the site but it was a solid meal. If you love different beers and want to ride around Albuquerque sampling some good local brands, this is your dude.

Gordon decided to get me a cider because he was like really trying to help my poor soul lol , but the cider was awesome 🤤.

Highly recommended! I wasn’t sure what we signed up for, since we know a lot about ABQ beers already. I’d do this tour again in a heartbeat. We laughed and... read more learned and went to new places. We also met great people — beer people tend to be very chill and interesting, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
We loved meeting a brewer and learning about his process before trying his beers. We loved having van rides (gotta be careful out there). We loved getting to the next place with different, equally interesting/different beers, and were sad to get our final stop (our favorite) where we learned some more and laughed and talked and drank really good brews it was everything we hoped for. And Gordon was a kind and considerate host, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell he was a history teacher. I learned more from him about beer than I’ve ever known before, and he was funny too.
We are local and visit lots of breweries, and this was worth it to us. Even if I was a visitor, I’d want to visit some of Albuquerque’s best parts, and the beer scene really is amazing here. We went to new places, tried new beers, and learned a bunch. But most importantly, we laughed a lot and got out to enjoy our city. Gordon’s passion for our local breweries (and for beer in general) make him the perfect host. Loved it.

This was my first ever Brewery Tour. Gordon (our tour guide) did an excellent job of giving us easy to understand information on the beer brewing process. We were able... read more to sample beers in a professional way, then evaluate the aroma, appearance, flavor and mouthfeel of each beer. The tour included 3 distinctly different breweries, my first introduction to the differing tastes the beers at each brewery has, when properly evaluated.
The tour was fun, thanks to the very good tour leader and the friendly group making up this tour. I would strongly recommend this tour whether you live in Albuquerque or are just visiting from out of town.
