La Cumbre Brewing Company Westside

I managed to score some La Cumbre once again and the beer I had was just as wonderful as the first time I had them. The first experience was with a corn lager but this time around we got a different beer type, an IPA. The IPA we had was the Elevated IPA which was very refreshing and a nice change of pace as I haven't had an IPA for a hot minute. Flavor characteristics with this beer are hoppy, piney, floral and malty with a smooth body. It definitely had a crisp and refreshing aspect to it as well so I suspect it was the hops or pine elements at play. Very impressed with this beer and it was a great return to try out a beer I haven't had from La Cumbre!

Nothing is better than a cold beer after a long hike along the Rio Grande on a warm day, and since La Cumbre Westside was just a short drive from the trail we hiked, it was the perfect place to stop. I enjoyed their Hefeweizen. It reminded me of the hefeweizen's I had the last time I was in Germany and Austria -- wheaty, slightly cloudy, a bit yeasty, with head of very fine foam. And they served it in a proper glass too.Albuquerque is home to a number of fine local and regional breweries and tap rooms. I don't have a favorite -- they all serve decent beer in attractive spaces. Without a doubt, La Cumbre is worthy of membership on my "Best Breweries and Taprooms in Albuquerque" list.

Still full from dinner but not ready to be done with the day, I landed at La Cumbre for the evening. I sat at a table in the corner where I enjoyed two of their delicious beers and ate up a good few GB of their wifi on my laptop. Comfortable spot for drinking or hanging out. Excellent beers. I enjoyed my time.[Review 21085 overall - 132 in New Mexico - 48 of 2024.]

This place is one of my favorite breweries! We used to be Friday regulars, but you know "life" but now we do frequent on a Saturday afternoon. This place is friendly, inviting and even though a few of my favorite faces are no longer there, the staff is always stellar. I also like that the food options are close or you can DoorDash yummy things to you to have a good dinner in a cool place :)

I recently moved back to NM. I live on the West side and was happy to see that my favorite brewery in town had a tap room near me ($8 dollar Uber). I had a growler with me ready to fill with Elevated IPA.I sat down at the bar and the beer tender asked if I had tried some of their other choices. I could get Elevated IPA in Tucson, so that was my go to. I tried the Sun Fade in pint. Immediately, I was able to taste the citrus and of course the hops that La Cumbre is famous for. I took a growler home of that. I've been back several times now and try something different every time. All of their beer is tasty. Some of my friends are beer people, but they also have a couple of wines and ciders.The place is just one big room with chairs and tables. Decor was beer stuff and nice. There is a restaurant next door if you need food as well.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love La Cumbre. I have been to their Girard taproom more times than I can count. I know the staff there and I love them and their beers. But this is the first time that I have been to their westside taproom. And that's because my brother in law lives out this way. Well, shame on me for not heading over.We had a friend and her to daughters here and were looking for a beer for the adults. So we gave them a call and asked if it was okay that we brought the kids, on a saturday evening, about 9 pm. The manager said sure, it's all good. So we headed over and were absolutely welcomed in our party of 6.The beer is absolutely as good as the main location. I loved the Project Dank winter edition. So good, and completely ABQ in it's hops and character. God, I love the beer from this city.The staff was amazing, and we brought in a bit of food from nearby restaurants as well. I love La Cumbre and you know I'll be both here and downtown every chance I get.

I really enjoy this brewery. I always get a Slice Of Heffen 20 oz. It's an unfiltered wheat. It's always cold and the staff is friendly. I like the convenience of being able to walk in the Bosque and follow it up with a cold beer. They were also open on Easter which is cool. We brought sushi from next door.

Really nice looking location with a great view of the mountain! Pricing was decent...yes, everything is going up and up. The beers were solid winners and the service was great. I had a nice time here with family and WE plan on returning soon. Thanks.

We stopped in on a Friday night for some beers. This location is very new and we enjoyed it a lot! The ambiance was great - both modern and rustic with New Mexico touches everywhere. The beer was great and the service was good as well. My only comment would be that I would love a little bit more interaction with the bartenders!This location has a great patio that would be awesome when it is warmer outside too!

I love this place! Why? It's 4 minutes from my house. It's next door to Grassburger, who will deliver. Le Cumbre is one of my favorite breweries. It's such a cool place to hang out!!!Thank you Slice of Hefen, Malpais Stout and all of the new and fun beers that are constantly rotating here! Great place!!
