Kaktus Brewing Company Inc.

Great pizza, great bar food, great people, very chill, down to earth atmosphere, awesome patio. The porter is the best brew they make, in my opinion.

I stopped through after passing through Albuquerque. Ecliptic definitely describes this place in a good way, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. I thought it was unique that it was actually listed as an attraction, so I figured that I had to stop by when I saw the sign on the side of the highway. It seemed a little hard to find as it is in a kinda residential type area our of the way a little. Overall the staff was very friendly and helpful. I not know about the found as I didn't try any but the beer was good. They also have some non beer alternatives like kombucha and craft type sodas if beer is not your thing. Overall I would recommend stopping by if you get the chance.

I've wanting to stop by here for a while as their (very impressive) website looks amazing. But oddly, their website doesn't list what beers they're serving. Kaktus is a small place, maybe a 5 bbl system? It's a bit hard to find. They have a great patio and outdoor seating area. It's very comfortable. The inside taproom is on the small side (no big deal) but lacks atmosphere.
Staff is friendly. Very talkative and polite!!

They serve food, mainly pizzas, but I didn't try any on this trip. I had three beers. I honestly wasn't blown away by any of them. But I visit over 200 breweries per year, so I unabashedly have high expectations. They were good reps for their styles (IPA, Lager) but again, nothing astounding. The Wet Hop IPA I thought was the best & would consider taking a crowler home of it.

This is a great little local brewery. A friend took me here with a group with a groupon they gave us a flight of beers and a tour of the brewery. The owner was super nice and it was fun to see the insides of an actual brewery. The food here is pretty good too. Not many places can you find pizza with boar or elk or any game meats really. Very fun experience.
