Taos Mesa Brewing embodies the varied & dynamic people & landscape that surround it. Its founders credit the vivid & diverse cultural & panoramic bounty surrounding Taos with its inception & mission. Whether identifying with the rich history of the Taos Pueblo, the iconoclastic Taos Society of Artists, or the “free spirit” of Easy Rider, the brewery’s inspiration & growth blossom from a creative continuum rooted in the area’s psyche for more than 1,000 years.

Since opening its doors in 2012, Taos Mesa Brewing has flourished & now operates two retail locations employing over 70 people. “The Mothership” on the Hondo Mesa features a premium concert venue, restaurant with stunning mountain views, uninterrupted sunsets & stargazing, along with state-of-the-art brewing facilities. The Mothership hosts internationally renowned touring acts, features local artists, & functions as a community hub.

Highlights in the brewery’s short history include hosting the declaration of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, attended by dignitaries & commemorated with a specially brewed a beer shared at the event & sent to President Obama. In 2015, the team embarked on a barley growing project, crafting its first completely local-ingredient beer coined NM Common.

Craft brewing lies at the heart of everything Taos Mesa Brewing does. Whether blending new flavors, designing menu items or previewing music, artisan products provide the inspiration. Borrowing from craft brewing’s collaborative ethos, the team works closely with the local community & broader region to shine a positive light on New Mexico, brewing up a unique Taos experience in every pint. 

For visitors to Taos & Taos Ski Valley, the short drive to TMB’s Mothership is well worth it. Drop your gaze 600 feet into the Rio Grande Gorge & visit the nearby Greater World Earthship Community. In town, look for Taos Mesa Brewing’s Tap Room nestled in the heart of historic downtown. This satellite location features fresh brews and artisan cuisine including wood-fired pizza. In both locations, Taos Mesa Brewing welcomes new friends & imparts an understanding of the authentic Taos, New Mexico vibe.
