    I visited Sidetrack twice this weekend and it was a great experience. This brewery is quite small but it creates an intimate and very cozy atmosphere. The beer selection isn't vast but it's solid. Excellent sour beer! The atmosphere is excellent, both inside and out. The patio is wonderful. I love how there are board games available. Definitely one of the better breweries in Albuquerque.

    As another witness to the 'incident' that was highlighted on Friday night, I can say several things: first off is that this establishment is connected via their back patio to a coffee shop where the owners have small children. This was also the evening of a large event on the strip called Art Walk-so the crowd was thicker than usual. On the back patio, there was a well known local DJ playing some music and the crowd was dancing and having a great time. With all of that being said: the very obvious children who were maybe 7, weren't going to accidentally be served. The 20 year old may have accidentally been served, especially being with a large group, and especially on an evening with big crowds I will add that I am a minority, and my boyfriend is also a very dark skinned minority, and we had no problems getting drinks all evening. Didn't seem like all of the Hispanics, Natives, Asians and the black people dancing on the back patio had any issues getting served alcohol, either. I'm guessing it's because everyone being served was of legal age.

    Great beers brewed right on site! Wide selection of beer including cask beer. Sundays have an always evolving selection of vinyl spinning and a great patio give this place a "best of Albuquerque" breweries in New Mexico. On the first Friday of the month, they partake in the monthly "Art Crawl" and you can expect a new art show and a DJ party on the patio brought by Adobe Disco. It's a treasure!

    What's not to love? Great beer selection, a patio to chill and drink in, and a friendly low-key atmosphere. I got a flight of the beer the bartender recommended and I loved them all! I'm happy we discovered this place by accident after exploring Downtown Albuquerque. Although there's many breweries to choose from, I will definitely be back because of how easy-going and welcoming the brewery felt. This is easily a place I could bring visiting family and friends. There's even a board called "Buy a Friend a Beer" where you can place your name on to have someone buy your next beer, which you can claim the next time you come. I love that idea!

    Great experience! Haven't had this much enjoyable "beer talk" in a long time. Nice crowd, great employees. Highly recommend without question! Food truck was also very good. I knew as soon as I walked in that this would be good!

  • 1/5 Erik E. 10 months ago on Google
    A group of us came in to this establishment. My 20 year old son was asked for his identification. We stated that he would not be drinking. We were then told that no one under the age of 21 is allowed in. However, we saw several under aged children sitting down. When we asked why they were allowed to be there we were told that they were there with their parents. I stated that I was his parent. We were then told β€œdon’t do that to me”. We are a group comprised ofHispanic and African American people. The kids in there were white. It is clear that this was discriminatory. It is 2023. There is no room for this in our country. This was sad and disappointing. We will be contacting Albuquerque local government to let them know about this incident.

    Good beer, friendly service, nice little brewery. Water station. Flights not available when I went but they have 10 oz beers if you want to taste multiple beers.

    This one’s a little bit further off the main downtown drag, but don’t let that deter you from stopping by and sampling their wonderful assortment of creative beers. From the fruity and expertly- executed Basecamp IPA to the smooth-drinking Pub Ale to their incredible Medusa wet-hopped Pale Ale, the beers will not disappoint.

    Awesome micro brewery celebrating their 6th year in business. Back patio was awesome and warm while the sun was out, but I can see how it is better in the summer for that. They had a live dj that was super fitting for the setting up Ave even though it was busy the bartenders knockned it out wifi so there was no waiting for additional drinks. The nitro stout was totally worth a taste!

    Indoor and outside seating areas (covered). Good beers. Staff were nice and offered samples to find the best beer for you to order. I enjoyed the crossover Pilsner. Friend got a sour and said it was good too

    Great beer flight options (6) and a nice back patio that connects with the coffee shop next door. Parking is a bit of a pain, but I enjoyed this brewing company.

    Great little brewery. Started with the October fest beer, the octubre fiesta. Kind of an amber almost. Very tasty. Easy parking. Food truck, beer garden. Brewery area able to pop your head in. Really like these folks!! They are proud of their beer and rightly so!!

    Incredible service by Amanda! I go to a lot of breweries all over the country, and Amanda was top notch -energetic, friendly, and ready with descriptions and recommendations! The place had a great vibe, was very clean and well laid out, and most of all their beer was fantastic! I can honestly say this place easily ranks near the top for ABQ breweries, and would highly recommend it to anyone!

    A great hoppy visit! @sidetrackbrewing 🍺 I fell in love with the BASECAMP IPA..still enjoying every sip every time I come back! Sorry, I’m an IPA girl! I love the wood, the vibes and the idea that you can buy a friend a beer and put it in on the board, if not claimed in 90 days, the beers are donated to charity, isn’t that awesome? Who would you buy a beer for?🍻
