New Mexico Beer: A History of Brewing in the Land of Enchantment (American Palate)

Brewing in New Mexico began in the 1850s when small breweries serviced
short-lived boomtowns teeming with early settlers thirsty for brew. By
the time Prohibition came in 1918, New Mexico breweries were completely
tapped out. It wasn't until 1988, when the Santa Fe Brewing Company
began slaking local thirsts, that beer was again brewed in New Mexico.
By the late 1990s, New Mexico was experiencing a resurgence in local
brewing. Today, the state boasts a craft brewing renaissance. New
Mexican breweries receive national attention, including eight medals at
the 2013 Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Join author Jon C.
