    Klaus loved his hazy IPA

    Exceptional freshly brewed craft beer in a wonder setting with kind beer service and a great little burger joint next door. A really fun experience.

    Great selection, from Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, Chocolate milk stout, Blood Orange Cider, Haymarket Honey wheat, to a red ale. It is highly likely you will find a beer of choice here. Local painting advertised throughout as well as swag.

    1st of all let me start by stating that I am a little biased because I literally live just down the road from this bar. However, I can't say enough great things about this place. The vibe. The energy. The cocktails, the original beer options and the staff. Oh the staff. Matt, Jordan, Lauren, Clay, Deja, you name it they treat me like I'm on an episode of Cheers and I just walked in wearing a mailman's uniform. Everyone knows your name here at Tractor and we come here as often as we can. I rally everybody I know to join me here every chance I can. This is without a doubt a local family at it's best... and everyone here is treated like family.

    No VIP at Tractor Breweries Something funny happened to me the other day, but it all started in January at the beginning of this year. I went to Tractor Brewery at Wells Park in Albuquerque for a beer, meeting my fellow military veteran, friend (we'll call him Bill to keep his anonymity). While I was there I decided to purchase a "Co-Op Membership" because I go frequently and my last membership expired during the pandemic. Before the pandemic I used to draw pictures on the chalkboard at Tractor at Wells Park for charity events (Exhibit "A"). Frequently, I auctioned my art there at Art Fight (Exhibit "B"). I believe the oil painting in Exhibit B is hanging in one of the manager/owner's office. Also, I had an art opening at the Tractor Nob Hill. (Exhibit C). I took out my old Co-Op card and threw it away while asking the bartender, "Is there a special membership, or VIP, or maybe a platinum card?" The bartender laughed and said, "We just have one card. There is no VIP at Tractor." "Okay. That's cool, but can I get card number 007?" The bartender laughed and said, "I'll check." They came back with a yellow, paper card numbered 422 and a plastic sleeve. "Our lamination machine is broken. So you'll have to bring the card and this sleeve back when you come next time." My friend Bill was sitting next to me. We served in Iraq together in 2011. Bill and I joked with, but most near, the bartender about putting a photo, NM Zia 505, thumbs up, or VIP sticker. A week or so later, I met Bill for lunch and regaled the story of the Tractor "Co-Op Membership" card. The card and plastic sleeve were still in my wallet. With a fat, black Sharpee and a dime, from the waiter, I drew a VIP stamp on the card (I offer for admission Exhibit D). Bill and I left for Tractor Brewery at Wells Park to present the card for lamination and have a beer. "What's this? There's no VIP at Tractor," the bartender responded as I handed him the card for lamination. "I drew it over lunch. It's a joke." "That's funny," he uttered monotonously as he turned to laminate the card. Handing the laminated card back to me, he asked if I got my free growler of beer already and I said yes. The pandemic fades. So many beers are purchased. I move homes in June. After I moved homes, I started a regular Sunday walk to Tractor Brewery at Nob Hill in Albuquerque, less than a mile from my new home. Quickly becoming recognized by the Nob Hill daytime staff because of the frequency of my visits, I felt welcomed in my new neighborhood pub. Often forgetting to use my card at my new, local pub, every time my friend Bill would meet me he'd remind me, "Use your VIP card," and he'd joke about my 'VIP Status'. After having a few beers one evening one of the bartenders ask me how I got VIP status. I explained about the broken lamination machine and everyone laughed. The "VIP" finally achieved its purpose, a good laugh, until September started to close. In late September I stopped by Tractor at Nob Hill for a quick beer and a chess game. After pouring my own glass of water I sat at the bar and a familiar bartender said hello. "I apologize, but I forgot your name," I said. "Jordon," he replied, "and you are Don Johnson." "Right. Wow, good memory," I said as I hummed finalizing my beer decision. "I can't serve you," he said sharply. "Yeah right," I snorted with laughter. "Seriously." My head spun reviewing my behavior. I looked at my zipper, just to double check. Thinking of nothing warranting exile, I uttered, "Why?" "You're the one with a VIP card right?" Reaching in my wallet, I retrieved Exhibit D, holding it up, "This?" I said with a confused laughter. "This is a joke." "We take that very seriously." "Since when?" I could see that my appeal to reason shook his conscience. Taking a breath, he turned to check his cell phone. With determination he returned and said, "Yesterday. I can't serve you and they wanted me to take this card." "Really-really? This card?" I asked holding up Exhibit D and pointing at it with my other hand. He nodded. "Okay," I said as I voluntarily handed him the card. I still thought he was joking, but I'm a rule follower that doesn't want trouble. "Thanks. Now you gotta go," he said, as he took my glass of water and poured it down the sink. "Okay." I checked to make sure I had my glasses, phone, wallet, and keys and my phone, wallet, glasses.... When I walked out I looked back and thought, "If this is some 'Welcome to the neighborhood initiation/practical joke' I am very impressed." I called my friend Bill and told him the story. Also thinking it was a joke, he agreed to do reconnaissance to determine the validity of my claims. It was true. I had been 86ed (this is the term for being banned from a bar indefinitely) and not only from this Tractor Brewery, but all of them.

    The chocolate milk stout was good, the bartender was friendly, and they let my dog sit with me at the bar inside.

    Is there an area where i could have a smoke with my brew?

    Yes, smoking is allowed in the patio.

    Any roasty stouts on tap here? I realize it's a fall/winter favorite, but I'm stout year round!

    Yup! Milk Mustachio Stout.

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.

    Poor communication spoiled our visit…read more My fiancé and I stopped by for a drink and he ordered a 32oz can of apple beer. The staff handed it over the bar to him without mentioning that it was strictly for off-premise consumption. Honestly, I suspected something might be off when I saw the large, unopened can, but because the bartender handed it directly to him without a word of warning, we assumed it was fine. We ended up opening it and drinking it for a while before the staff finally noticed. When they did realize what happened, they completely panicked, told us it was a "felony," and confiscated the can. We completely understand that New Mexico has strict liquor laws and that the brewery has to protect its license. Now that we know the rule, we definitely won't make this mistake again. However, the situation could have been entirely avoided if the staff simply communicated better at the point of sale. If you hand a customer a large package container over the bar that cannot legally be opened on-site, it is your responsibility as the server to state that clearly. The staff should have caught this when serving us, or at least handled the mistake with better customer service instead of escalating the situation. It was an honest mistake caused by a lack of clear guidance from the bartender. As two professionals that work on base nearby, this is a letdown, especially as we have frequented this brewery in the past.

For drinks they have everything from house taps and cocktails to non-alcoholic options, including mocktails. They also make their own house infusions like beet vodka, coffee liqueur, and cucumber gin, which I thought was interesting.

Lots of doors and roll-up windows allow them to combine or separate spaces. I'm not sure if it's a New Mexico thing, but this might be the first brewery we've been to that doesn't do flights. Too bad too because there were several we wanted to get. We ended up tasting four beers. The Bock was ok, and the Stout was pretty good. I had a pint each of the Blue Corn Lager and the Irish Red, while my wife had two pints of the Irish Red. Both were quite good. Had I had another, I would've ordered the Stout. The one knock on the place was the service. It was friendly enough. There just wasn't enough of it. Every time we needed something, it was around a 10-min wait in line. To order, to close out, etc. Not really because it was overly crowded. It just took a really long time for those in front of us to be helped by the one person tending bar at the time. Oh well. The beer was good and not overpriced. Even though the alcohol content wasn't too high, it hit the spot.

    Five Stars - Because Six Would Break the Internet…read more 377 Brewery: Where Dreams Come True and Bladders Go to Die (But in the Best Way) Listen, I've been to a lot of breweries, but 377 Brewery just became my spirit animal's favorite watering hole. I rolled up expecting decent beer and maybe some passable bar food. What I got was a religious experience wrapped in hops and served with a side of "how is this place not more famous?" Let's start with their German Pilsner - crisp, clean, and more refreshing than finding a parking spot at Costco on a Saturday. This isn't some wannabe craft beer trying too hard to be edgy; this is pilsner that would make a Bavarian monk weep tears of pure joy. It's the kind of beer that makes you want to slap leather and challenge someone to a duel, except you're too relaxed to care about anything except the next sip. The steak and blue salad? Holy guacamole on a unicycle. I don't know what kind of sorcery they're practicing in that kitchen, but whoever prepared this salad clearly has a direct line to the salad gods. The steak was tender enough to cut with a stern look, and the blue cheese wasn't playing around - it had personality, confidence, and probably its own zip code. But let's talk about the service - these folks treated me like I was their favorite cousin who just won the lottery. Attentive without being clingy, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and faster than my ex when the check arrived. Top-notch humans doing top-notch work. Now, about those bathrooms... Sweet baby Jesus on a pogo stick, it's like someone decorated them using leftover props from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. I'm talking post-apocalyptic chic meets industrial nightmare meets "is that supposed to be there?" But here's the kicker - they're cleaner than a hospital operating room. It's like Immortan Joe hired Martha Stewart as his interior designer. Bizarre? Absolutely. Clean enough to perform surgery? You betcha. 377 Brewery isn't just a place to grab a drink; it's a whole vibe, an experience, a reason to believe that somewhere in this chaotic world, people still know how to do things right. I'll be back faster than you can say "Witness me!" Highly recommended for humans, aliens, and anyone who appreciates the finer things in life served with a healthy dose of "what the actual heck am I looking at?" charm. Will return: Until the end of time or until they run out of that pilsner, whichever comes first.
