    Nexus Brewery

    Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States

    Hello Nexus Neighbors, When I told my wife that I was going to quit my banking job and open a brewery, she simply said, β€œGreat”! I felt like I was in the middle of my favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation movie. The one where Captain Kirk and Picard get pulled into the β€œNEXUS,” a heavenly place where everything is perfect. This was my chance to open an establishment that rivaled Captain Kirk’s nirvana. β€œOh, my goodness,” I thought, β€œI have to do this”! Our first step was to create great-tasting beer. Not as simple as it sounds, a lot of time and effort goes into our brews before we release them. As a guide, we took a page from Old Milwaukee’s history book and focused on making a beer so great that it would make Albuquerque famous.

To this end, we are dedicating our brewery to creating lower IBU, lower ABV beers that are super easy to drink, and one might even say β€œlight.” However we certainly don’t drink shame! We have an extensive guest tap set, and will always feature the best that New Mexico has to offer!
