Boxing Bear Brewing Company

Boxing Bear Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Albuquerque known for its hazy and hop-forward ales, a Mexican-style lager, and a chocolate milk stout that has won several gold and silver medals at national competitions. The brewery also makes local cider and offers a short list of New Mexico wines, which sets it apart from many brew pubs.

It runs two locations: the Firestone Taproom & Brewery on Firestone Lane NE, which is also home to brewery operations, and the Bridges on Tramway Taproom on Candelaria Road NE. The Firestone taproom has a kitchen serving pizzas, appetizers and throwback favorites like the Albuquerque Turkey and Cubano. Packaged beers can be picked up to go at either location.
