Nice selection of brews and rotating food truck options just outside. Lots of seating!

Great Vibes, Live Music, and Plenty of Beer Had an awesome night at High and Dry Brewing in Albuquerque! The place was packed thanks to the live music, but we still managed to find a spot to sit and enjoy the scene--which was honestly impressive. It had that lively, local energy without feeling overwhelming. The bands were playing, the crowd was into it, and the beer was flowing. Solid selection of local brews with something for every taste--whether you're into hoppy IPAs or something more mellow. Everyone was friendly, and the staff kept things moving even with a full house. Street parking was available nearby (big win in Albuquerque on a busy night), so getting in and out was easy. If you're looking for a spot with good beer, chill vibes, and live music that draws a fun crowd, High and Dry delivers. Definitely coming back for another night like this. read more

We stopped in for some beer on Saturday afternoon. We started with a flight and enjoyed most of what we tried. My wife liked the Log Chucker strong ale the best, while I had a pint of the "Beer" lager. Others we tried included the Rye Orbison lager, the Jiminy Krispness Kolsch, the cream stout, and the Agua Fria Pilsner. We sat inside, but they had a nice patio too. Beertender service was prompt and friendly. read more

Fun and eclectic local brew pub - with a really nice indoor and outdoor eating space to enjoy! Selection of beers and ciders was great, we tried a number of different ones! Also funny we thought was their "gin" on tap to make gin and tonics plus good pink lemonade (with vodka) and a pretty mean mojito! Bartender and servers were awesome and helpful in aiding us in what to try! read more

High and Dry Brewing - Outside - Breweries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

One of my favorite breweries in town. They have an awesome patio and a super great selection of rotating food trucks. You really can't go wrong. They've been having the Cacho's truck which has really solid burgers and such. Their loaded fries are also delicious and the sauces they use, super yummy. I always recommend people try the paleta shandy which is a paleta in your drink of choice. It's such a treat! read more

My wife and I went here the afternoon of July the 23rd. The environment was clean and the beers were good. The only reason I'm not giving it more than three stars is the sole employee there seemed ambivalent to our presence. I recall he even tossed the coasters in our direction as we were at the bar. I paid nine dollars for a glass of wine for my wife. The pour was extremely meager for that price point ..more like a tasting.... While I appreciated the Clean environment and the cold beer, there are much more customer centric breweries in Albuquerque. read more

Fantastic beer . Wish the service was something to rave about as well. Took over five minutes before either one of us was even acknowledged. The male bartender was ready to help the guy with the band. The female bartender only wanted to talk to people she knew only begrudgingly helped customer We were debating if we would even be able to close our tab. read more

Really cool venue with outdoor seating, small private parking lot, food trucks, local talent, and beers with paletas! We came for an event during open mic night and it was a really great experience :) My only wish is I wish the workers were better about explaining what paletas were available. There was a bit of confusion what options were in stock or being offered. Had I known there was a Mexican chocolate paleta I would've gotten that with my Stout beer. The only options written on the board were Lime, Mango, watermelon, and strawberry. Then we found out the mango and lime were out. So, I ordered a watermelon paleta... I found out later coconut and Mexican chocolate were available. At first I was pretty nervous to dip the watermelon paleta into my beer, but I ate Froot Loops on a hotdog the other day so I figured "go for it". Surprisingly, the watermelon + Mrs. stoubtfire was actually a good combination lol I'll have to go back and try the Mexican chocolate paleta with a stout. Really cool spot to hang out :) read more

Awesome brewery with a rotating food truck out front! The staff know their brews and are ready to help you find a tasty one! Plenty of seating for any occasion, front patio looks like a nice spot to chill on a cool evening read more

The vibe at high and dry is 5 stars. Their brews are inconsistent so they lose a star. Sometimes the beer is great (their pina colada beer was one of the most interesting sours I have ever had) and sometimes it is ... not. But it's overall a great neighborhood bar and I love to hit it up for the food trucks. They used to have a shuffleboard table which was great fun but that has been moved on to the great beyond for shuffleboards as far as I can tell... Big picture: a great neighborhood hang, a regular in my rotation. read more

The blood orange Tractor Cider was great. The blueberry lime sour came up puckeringly sour and not to my liking. There were 17 offerings. So many more to try. They did shandy's with flavored pop cycles to melt into the brew to add to the flavor. They included Bloody Mary and mango! They had doggie pop cycles too of chicken broth flavor. Kyle was the very personable bartender. There was plenty of seating and a food truck. Today was Mexican with tacos galore. Need to come back and explore more. read more

Delicious beer. Welcoming atmosphere and staff. I was in Albuquerque for my day off and decided to look up breweries nearby and wanted to try one of the smaller end brewers. This place did not disappoint. I pulled into a full lot and saw a lot of happy people chilling outside and inside. I knew I was in for a treat. Walked in and asked a few questions, the bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful in my selection for the flight. I love this brewery, and I think you would too. Stop by and check it out for yourself! If you're hungry, they have a food truck right outside- when I came it was tacos but they are rotational, check out their website for the daily trucks! read more

I love a nice stout on a brisk autumn or winter day. I had the chai stout here. This one has a lovely flavor, if not a particularly robust body. And though I love a tasty paleta on a balmy spring or summer day, I was extremely delighted with this chocolate one (courtesy of pop fizz) in mid-November. It has that wonderful hint of cinnamon you get from the Mexican hot chocolate, with the texture of a fudgecicle. I ordered a big-ol kombucha to go, but haven't tried it yet. Waiting for the right time to try to consume 32 ounces of kombucha lest I leave it to go flat overnight (they use crowlers - that is, big pop-top cans - rather than resealable jugs, don't ya know). I also bought one of those super soft vintage looking blue shirts for my pal... terrific $25 Christmas present for the microbrewery fan on your list! Two downers: no small def-leppard-style tank tops, and no resealable bottle for the to-go kombucha. One questionable policy: dogs allowed on (not at, on top of) the patio table (kinda gross, man). One "am I seeing this right?" moment: $16 for four taco truck tacos. One lingering question: do they do live music or are they beholden to neighborhood sound ordinances? Great neighborhood pub. I look forward to booking there when the nice weather returns! read more

I visited High and Dry yesterday as part of a sponsored event. I didn't love the paleta and beer combo but separately they were lovely! Its a great neighborhood find with a food cart out front. It is a surprisingly large space inside and the potential for events is wonderful! The service was polite and friendly, we had a corner of the bar to chat and it was nice to see other folks around but not be drowned by noise. There is a TON of indoor and outdoor seating, again I was surprised and hope there are events with multiple cart vendors and tons of people, because its a large space with good beer and paletas that can handle it. read more

On the way to visit my parents, I always stop at this great local brewery. I love how welcoming and open the space is, and after a day of driving, their brews always hit the spot. Plus, I can count on there being a great food truck. * Errorberry Guava Göse~a light and delightful, well-balanced drink at 5.7 ABV and 10 IBU. Rye Orbison Amber~this malty drink went well with my meal with an easy 5.0 ABV and 18 IBU. Always a delightful stop, and if you find yourself in the area, don't hesitate to stop by. read more

First visit to High and Dry! In the Nob Hill area. Good crowd and friendly servers. Unique names for each type of beer. Food trucks were available and a good crowd for a Saturday afternoon. Beers were cold and a good selection was available. Wine is also on the menu with a variety of both white and red. This brewery had a hot air balloon themed vibe throughout. Definitely a local hot spot! read more

Wow! Went here on 6/27/22. Fantastic. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. Patio was good size and inside had a lot of tables. They have a good selection of beer from light to dark. A lot of IPAs. We got a flight. We tried the wheat, gose, kolsch and rye ipa. Everything was fantastic! There was a taco food truck also. It was really good! Good vibes and ambiance. If I lived down here this would def be a go to. Cheers! read more

We went to listen to music and it was a great place to listen to music. We enjoyed going to a neighborhood place.

Came in to relax and try something new. Im glad I did. There was live music and the drinks were cold. From a regular glass of wine to a drink with a paleta in it. The food was from a food vendor just outside the front door and it was good.. Pulled beef bbq burger hit the spot. The live music great. The best of the night was Coalesce Blue. What a great performance. This place is just off the beaten path and doesn't look like much, but I think you'll enjoy it. I know I did.. read more

High and Dry Brewing - Coalesce Blue - Breweries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Cute brewery with live music. Just enough beer options. I had half an Alice In Chains Blood Orange Sour mixed with Tractor Berry Cider. It was delightful. Perfect for those who like a sweeter sour. I appreciated the older crowd I saw at this brewery on a Friday night. Given it's close location to the university one would assume it'd be filled with a bunch of college students. But it was a nice mix of business professions, students and everything in between. read more

Came in for a couple of later night drinks. The atmosphere for this brewery was super chill and nice. It's a smaller place so it also gives an intimate feel. I started at with a sick sense. It is a lighter blonde. It was pretty good. It was refreshing and had a clean aftertaste. My wife got their watermelon cider. This was the best watermelon cider I've had. It was super tasty and didn't have any of the normal beer like taste at all. The bartender was super nice and was helpful with choices and I would definitely go back there the next time I'm in Albuquerque. Oh and they are Dog friendly which is excellent and more businesses should be like this one. read more

Innovative beer- the beer alone would get 4stars! They had a nice variety of hazy IPAS, and woo! a Black IPA-both we tried were great quality, with nice flavor profiles exact to their descriptions. But I knocked a star off because the vibe of the place wasn't great for hanging out for a length of time. Giving off a very 'millennial chill vibe'- I guess they are going for hipster-ish ambiance; they have plain wooden seating, open shared bathroom sinks, a tap on the wall for water- overall it wasn't that comfortable. The wooden benches were painful to sit on after some time- and I know babies in bars aren't the most welcomed guests but it was a bit awkward to bring her to the open sink without being able to give her privacy to clean herself up. read more

Most popular bar in the neighborhood. If your looking for a smaller bar with a patio, dog friendly, more than enough choices of beer then try this spot. They usually have a food vendor that changes each week and plenty of tables outdoors. Not a small patio whatsoever. They switch out their types of beer every so often as well. No TVs here just FYI. read more

This is one of those places that I just like. It's a very comfortable place to sit and have a beer or a glass of wine. There is a lot of room inside or out. They always have a food truck which they rotate so you can get a bite to eat. I don't know if they ever have a wait staff but I've always had to go to bar to get a drink. Good place to go visit with friends and have a drink. read more

Overall this was a terrific experience. They staff helped me find a beer I liked...says alot because I am not a beer person. Helped my friends as well. The popsicles were over the top. We 2 two Mexican chocolate and a rasberry. It didn't sound at all good to put the popsicle in my beer. Did do some dipping. The popsicle was worth it even if you didn't like the beer. Had tacos for lunch...excellent. They have different trucks and vary the food day to day. Love the idea. Will try again. read more

Kind of like sitting in your backyard, but you can't control the music, there are people sleeping in the bushes and you don't want to pet the dogs. Beer was drinkable. Nothing remarkable. Servers were nice, everything picked up at bar. Too many other options for good beer. If this is your only option, stay in your own backyard. read more

How have I lived in Albuquerque for four years and I'm barely discovering High and Dry Brewing now? The first thing that caught my eye when I walked in, was all the beautiful colors. I thought this would be the perfect place for a photoshoot. Lol, The atmosphere is calm and hip. It's not as loud as some of the other breweries in town. You could actually enjoy a beer and read a book here if you wanted to. The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to sampling all the different beers on tap. They also offer coffee, which is a huge win for me. Don't forget to check out their social media to see what days what food trucks are there. We were able to try Punchy's Pizza, and it's was delicious. read more

First time here! Great little place and very accessible to the neighborhood. Cute patio outside and garage door to let in fresh air for the inside. Good crowd and good music. Food truck available as well. Great number of beers on tap. Little disappointed that their own IPA was out but had some of the Ghost of a Moon Pale Ale. We also had some Unhinged Cider from Red Door and Threshold IPA from Bosque. People friendly and staff friendly and accommodating as well. Great little brewery! read more

I attend a monthly mixer here, and every month I look forward to ordering their tasty and unique paleta + cider/beer pairings. Currently, the reigning champion for me is the mango cider with a mango chile paleta. There's something so aesthetically pleasing to me about this quaint brewery; it still uses the garage door from its car shop days, has splashes of bright yellow walls, is full trendy decor, and is small and intimate. I'm also obsessed with the cute hot air balloon stamped on every glass. It would be awesome if they incorporated a kitchen with a structured menu someday, as now I have to check before going to know if I should eat or not, since there's different food trucks. This is a great place any time of year if you're looking to get away from the huge breweries and not having to yell "what did you say?" to your tablemates. read more

Well what more can you ask for when you've got beer and spectacular pizza at a single location? We decided to come here based on reviews and I must say I was super happy with what I got! My flight consisted of the Apple Bear Cider, Goodnight Rose, Sour, and the Pineapple Upside down. Because I'm not much of a beer person one of my favorites was the Goodnight Rose a couple people in my group said it wasn't strong enough but hey I was attempting at branching out from my usual Cider intake. The location is super chill and open for a lot of fresh air! It's also very nice that there's plenty of space to sit down. There's about to areas inside and a few tables outside. Outside though is where you get to smell the delicious pizza cooking up in this vamped up mini school bus! ( the green chili pepperoni is so spicy you must get it ) Great Selection, affordable prices, spacious location and delicious food. Will be back! read more
