Los Luceros Apple Ale (5.7%) $7
Made from our shade! This year, our gardener extraordinaire Antonio and friends harvested 60 pounds of our own patio hops, all of which went into this brew! A tasty golden, medium-body, multigrain base beer with American, English, and German malts, balanced by our homegrown blend of Cascade, Crystal, Wisconsin Cluster, Hungarian landrace, and local Jemez wild hops. Fermented with a “thiolized” yeast from Omega Labs unlocking a wealth of aromas; floral, citrus, tropical fruit, finishing with a pleasant grassy bitterness. Get some quick. When it's gone, it's gone until next fall!
2nd Street Hazy IPA (7.2%) $7
Guest tap... This latest edition of our Sloppy Sloth Hazy IPA series features mosaic hops for a floral, tropical and fruity flavor profile.
Hoppenheimer IPA (7.4%) $7
Our Caldera Kölsch-style ale uses authentic ingredients and techniques from the German city of its origin Cologne (or Cöln/Köln), a word which dates back to the Roman colonial era. The official Kölsch Konvention describes it as “light, highly attenuated, hop-accentuated, clear, top-fermented Vollbier.” The essential New World Guide to Beer adds “a definite, but only slight, fruity-winy bouquet...also a gentle hop dryness in the finish, flowery but less effusive than a Pilsener.” But simply put: this is just plain, delicately balanced beer-flavored-beer and you'll love it.
New Mexico loves their big, hoppy IPAs, and our flagship is a particularly tasty one. Plus...c’mon, you can’t brew in Robert Oppenheimer’s actual backyard and NOT make the obvious pun. A sturdy malt backbone with a new-world hop load that ticks all the boxes: citrusy, tropical fruity, melon, pine resin, dank weed, with a heavy dose of Sabro for weird woodsy, vanilla, coconut vibes.
Ranch School Rustic Ale (5.5%) $6
A rustic farmhouse/saison style beer inspired by the historic Los Alamos Ranch School site on which we're located. Old-timey multigrain base (barley, corn, oats, light and dark crystal malts) with American Legacy Cluster hops and locally foraged wild yeast.
2nd Street Pilsner (5.3%) $7
Guest tap... First brewed specifically for the annual Santa Fe Bike ‘n’ Brew Festival, this “special” or mid-tier bitter is named after the early, hard-tired bicycles. Brewed with a combination of American and British hops (Cascade. East Kent Goldings, and Citra), it has a fruity, slightly citrus and bready nose, with clean malt flavors and a thirst quenching dry finish.
New Mexi Lager (5.2%) $6
NM Wine $8/glass
Just plain beer-flavored beer. Light flavor, low bitterness. Ice cold, yellow, fizzy, delicious. Inspired by your favorite Mexican lagers, but this one's brewed in New Mexico for New Mexicans.
