Taos Mesa Brewing - El Prado

I wish they had food. It's a massive cool looking place. They also don't have a lot to say in the way of greeting when you enter.

It would have been a five star but they don't do pretzels. Beer is crisp and great tasting. They do offer burgers and. Some snacks. Even a.couple of desserts. Love being out of town and getting to enjoy the mountains. Last year I missed their open days. So glad I made it this year.

I bet this spot gets massive crowds on the weekend nights. I stopped in in the afternoon on a Sunday though. There was a few other people that must have decided that a beer in the 105 heat was the way to go. I pulled up to a sharp looking building. I could see they had a large outdoor area with a bandshell even, so they must have bigger activities now and then. The inside was an expansive place. All the beer making equipment was right there behind the bar area. I got a flight from the gal there. She tried to be friendly, but it wasn't totally in her nature. She found time to complain about Taos and the area and how Santa Fe is just as bad. The negative vibes was a turnoff but she probably won't even be working there by the time you read this review. The beers were great! I could have gone for a pilsner but that wasn't one of their current offerings. I checked out he merch a little afterwards then was down the road. Hopefully I'll check out the downtown location next time around.

There was not an event when we came in and I called prior to confirm. It was in the afternoon and not even dark out so yeah, no flashing lights and not even a crowd when we came by.

What a neat place. We drove past on the way to our Air BnB and decided we definitely needed to stop in before we left. The outside is super cool, and is exactly what I would expect from something known as the "Mothership." I'm not really sure how to rate the experience, because The beer itself was excellent. We shared a flight of six four oz. pours, and they were all great. My personal favorite was the German IPA. You could choose which ones you wanted by writing them down, one through six, on a piece of paper, which you then gave to the person serving you. They gave that paper back with the flight to keep things labeled, which I though was a seriously efficient process! The experience was not as great. We were a little confused how it worked, and the staff was not very warm or friendly while explaining it to my confused self. We also didn't see the beer list or description anywhere except behind the bar, and it was hard to see with people waiting in front of the bar, the staff behind it, and my bad eyesight. There also was very little seating, though it looked like they were reserving open floor space for dancing since a band was setting up. We were able to share a table with someone else, so it all worked out, it was just a little uncomfortable because we wanted to talk and our table partner was trying to read a book.

Love this place for an intimate music venue. They are mostly a brewery, but also have food, and they have a full service coffee truck. The grounds are like a rambling garden, with pathways leading to fire pits and intimate seating areas. There's copious outdoor seating, much of which is shaded, and there is an indoor and an outdoor stage. Even with hundreds of people attending the concert, I somehow never waited in line for a restroom. Quick shoutout to the brewery's T-shirt's... they're amazeballs. Softest soft cotton, with super cool designs and only $20 or something. Got one for my husband and it's his new favorite T! Oh, and the IPA is pretty tasty too.

Never been there I lived in taos all my life and not once have I ever stopped in thank you but I love the Earth Oven,and all other restaurants. I haven't been to your place because the person that goes over your reviews is an asshole!!

Really enjoyed the patio here with the view of the mountains. Dog-friendly. Beer good.

Just another noisy sports bar! Can hardly hear yourself thinking there. Food and services is not all that good either.

Great location with views for MILES. Often great music. Food and beers can be hit or miss, but a wonderful place to unwind.
