Jan. 17—Get your fill of frosty, award-winning New Mexico craft beer at WinterBrew 2025.
The New Mexico Brewers Guild event takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Pavilion, in the City Different. VIP ticketholders get an extra hour of fun with early entry at 5 p.m.
Ticketholders will receive a WinterBrew 2025 commemorative glass, 16 sample tickets and a pint of their beer of choice from any of the 16 participating breweries.
“You’re gonna get 16 sample tickets and then one full pour ticket,” said Ebbie Edmonston, executive director of the New Mexico Brewers Guild. “Obviously, the full pour kind of varies depending on what style beer you get. If you’re getting a double dry hop IPA, that might not come in a full 16-ounce pour, but it might come in like a 12-ounce pour. Those are up to the breweries. But, there’s plenty of beers available if you like dark beer, hoppy beer, light beer, it’s all going to be there.”
Santa Fe breweries wanting to participate in the event will be on-hand, with a mix of breweries from other parts of the state that were selected using a lottery system. This year’s participants are Beer Creek Brewing Company, Bonito Valley Brewing Co., Bosque Brewing Co., Brew Lab 101, Flock of Moons Brewing Co., La Cumbre Brewing Co., Nuckolls Brewing Co., Rio Bravo Brewing Co., Rowley Farmhouse Ales, Santa Fe Brewing Co., Second Street Brewery, Sidetrack Brewing Co., Steel Bender Brewyard, Taos Mesa Brewing Co., Tractor Brewing Co. and Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery.
Food will be available for purchase from Restoration Pizza and Second Street Brewery.
WinterBrew 2025 is presented by Santa Fe County Economic Development and Santa Fe County Tourism.
“It was a situation where we were made aware of some grants through (Santa Fe) County Economic Development and unfortunately, we did not receive the grant, but that put us in contact with the right people,” Edmonston said. “They were interested in sponsoring this event and bringing more attention to local beers. That’s definitely one of the things that the Brewers Guild obviously focuses on. Many of these breweries are based out of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County.”
