Sidetrack Brewing Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is the sort of place that makes you think — yes, you can actually have a good time without a TV in the background. Opened in 2016, this 7‑barrel operation occupies a converted 1940s building (the sort of sturdy structure that seems to whisper, “we’ve seen a few good ales in our day”). Inside, the taproom feels like a well‑kept secret, while the patio offers an urban‑corner vibe that somehow feels both spacious and intimate.
The lineup is a masterclass in variety without pretension. Their IPAs are crisp enough to make you reconsider the meaning of “bitter,” the stouts glide smoothly like a velvet curtain, and the New England‑style IPA adds a dash of quirk that could make a purist raise an eyebrow and then smile. They also boast cask‑conditioned drafts, gluten‑reduced options, and in‑house sour beers that prove fermentation can be an art form. Vinyl spins on the walls, and the “Buy a Friend a Beer” program turns strangers into regulars, reinforcing the community spirit that keeps the place buzzing.
All in all, Sidetrack delivers quality craftsmanship with a cheeky grin, making it a must‑visit for anyone who believes a good brew should be both delicious and approachable.
Sidetrack Brewing Company offers excellent service and a quiet local brewpub atmosphere, serving a solid selection of beers, including a popular Red IPA. The venue features an intimate patio with board games and a cozy back area with Zendo Coffee.
