Boxing Bear Brewing in Albuquerque

This is cute chill spot. I tried a few and went with the Amber Ale. I didn't love love it but it was alright. Good vibes all around. Most air outside. Dogs are welcome. Lots of dog owners.

Utilizing the kitchen within Boxing Bear Brewery, Cafe Nom Nom brings bright, dynamic and intriguing flavors to pair with your pint of barley joy. I've spoken this mantra going on a decade, now: aggressive beer is best enjoyed with Asian food. I don't really care which varietal, gimme ramen, rice, something to chopstick or pepper with wasabi, whatever, I loves me some spice when I'm tipping down a cold one. Owner Nam Tran didn't disappoint with his first foray in Nob Hill, which morphed into a great food truck a year later, and now he has what I hope will be his home brick 'n mortar at a brewery which, gotta admit, I used to overlook, simply because they served panini sandwiches. Now, I'm looking forward to my next visit. We fed a crew of six, including two picky kids, here's my report: - Lemongrass Pork Pot Stickers: standard, yummers. - Saigon Street Quesadilla: Rather incredible, enormous, fluffy, crowd-pleasing appetizer. - Kids Quesadilla: Thumbs up all around. - Bulgogi Banh Mi: "Heck yeah, Howie, this is exactly what I was hoping for." - Farmer's Veggie Bowl: Feel good greens. - Spicy Szechuan Noodles: I picked the best dish! And such intriguing noods! Ask them to make it super spicy. Or don't. Wuss. - Street Cup Noodles: Nah. Go get you some!

Boxing Bear Brewing Co. is a favorite of mine! Great patio. Amazing staff. Good food. Delicious beer! This company is extremely community oriented as well. Boxing Bear is wonderfully supportive of hunger relief work in Albuquerque. As the Executive Director of the largest food pantry on the west side of Albuquerque, Rio Grande Food Project, I cannot thank Boxing Bear enough for serving as a partner in fighting hunger in Albuquerque and the surrounding communities. Thank you Boxing Bear Brewing Co.
