Bandolero Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Clovis NM)

Bandolero Brewery in Clovis, New Mexico is the sort of place that makes you wonder why you ever settled for mass‑market lagers. This locally‑owned outfit pours a bewildering array of craft beers, plus a surprisingly good line of wines and hard ciders, proving that variety doesn’t have to mean mediocrity. Inside, the brewpub spreads out like a well‑kept secret laboratory, with enough room for a bustling crowd and a patio that captures the town’s laid‑back vibe without ever feeling pretentious.

The real show‑stopper is the growler menu—choose between 32‑ounce or 64‑ounce vessels and cart them home in an insulated tote that keeps the liquid as fresh as the day it left the fermenter. Beer styles range from hop‑packed IPAs to smooth, malty amber ales, each a showcase of regional excellence. High Noon IPA has earned a glowing recommendation from reviewers, and it’s easy to see why. In short, Bandolero blends quality craftsmanship with a spirited atmosphere, making it a must‑visit for anyone who respects a well‑made pint (and isn’t afraid to try something new).
