Tractor Brewing Company

Not only Tractor a place for great beer, atmosphere but this place is also DOG FRIENDLY! Do you know how hard it is find a good dog friendly bar — plus my dog is picky and loves it here. You can bring food in from other places. I love to bring pizza over and enjoy a few pints with friends. You also can totally go by yourself because this place is is fun and it’s easy to mingle and meet new people. I highly recommend this place. There are two locations in Albuquerque and both are great. This is great for first dates, dates in general and for just having a great time.

Well established craft brewers among the buzzing NM brewery scene and a must-​stop on any Albuquerque craft brew crawl. You quickly get the feeling that Tractor deserves some of the credit for this town’s beer boom. The pub area offers a comfy eclectic atmosphere typical of your fav indie coffee shop. Tractor impressed us most with a very helpful and knowledgable team behind the bar and further deserve a shout out for their Farmer’s Almanac IPA, which was preferred over most of the other local craft IPAs. Double plow stout didn’t disappoint but didn’t shine as bright as other stouts experienced in the ABQ brew scene, but hey the competition in this town is fierce and few pours disappoint. Tractor is pet friendly inside and out. Well, at least for dogs, not sure about farm animals. Revolving artwork decorates the walls, which I always admire (the current art for sale is scary).

Was a nice first visit to this business. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful in making a selection. It was a nice place to meet up with friends and catch up. I found that it was easy to find something to drink that I would like. They are more than happy to provide samples to help make the decision.

Great assortment of delicious brews, wines and of course the seasonal shandy. They always have something on the calendar that’s wild and entertaining. Def worth the trip!

This review is long over due…
Tractor Wells Park happens to be my favorite brewery. Why? Well because for one, I personally think they have the best beer! My favorite is a special mix of ½ IPA and ½ Farmers Red, commonly referred to as a Red-​I or when in season, the Tupac.
2^nd — is the service! The entire staff is awesome. As I have frequented this local brewery, I have come to know the staff on a personal basis, or should I say, they have come to know me. They all know me by name (and not only my first name, but my last name as well!) I am always greeted with a friendly smile and a cold beer. The staff knows what I like and are always eager to make suggestions. In my opinion, this brewery not only welcomes a new face and beer enthusiast, but embraces the regular customer. Did I actually say customer? Allow me to rephrase that… I am always treated like family! Yup — Family!!!
3^rd — Location, Location, Location! Tractor Wells Park is close to home. Oh… «No wonder» is what you might be thinking. But stop right there! There are a minimum of 7 micro-​breweries within a 2 mile radius of my home. All I can say is Tractor Well Park is my go-​to brewery. Great Service, Great Beer, Great Location…
Need I say more?
Yes… I do!
Food Trucks!!! OK — That’s my 4^th point… From Hawaiian to New Mexican to Street Taco’s to BBQ — Only the BEST Food Trucks in the Great SW reside here at Tractor Wells Park!
Alright, my 5^th and Final Point… Entertainment! Poetry, Art Fusion, DJ, Dancing, etc… Whatever your pleasure, Tractor never disappoints!
So there you have it folks… Stop by sometime, tell the staff Liz on Unilocal highly recommended you. Say Hello to Shawn, Lauren, Adam or Carlos!

Great beer, beautiful bar area. They allow dogs and it’s not a bad place to bring the family (they even have diaper changing stations in the MEN’S room!).

I like how they have an outside patio that plays different music compared to inside.
Very dark and loungey. No food served here :(Lots of different beers and they do flights here.
They also have a breathalyzer inside for $ 1 to see if you’re okay to drive. Pretty cool

I love the friendly service and laid back atmosphere! The band was awesome and of course the brew is phenomenal. My wife tried the Javilager and it was the awesome! My favorite continues to be the red but the stout is got to be one of the better stouts out there. It has a hint of coffee taste with notes of vanilla. Yummy! Burque is all grown up when it comes to craft beer.

I am a big fan of Tractor’s Chocolate Milk Stout, okay, I confess, most of Albuquerque’s microbreweries have a stout I’m a fan of. We have liked Tractor since discovering them at some event at the Balloon Museum. Our biggest problem was always the parking at their Nob Hill location. The 4^th street location is sooooo much easier, partly because it’s not as crowded. This time Blvd. Street Food truck was in residence, I think I could live on fried avocado tacos.

Have been twice and love the atmosphere! Better to go around five for the awesome food trucks. Its a great place to just go and grab a beer with your buddies or even your dog. Very clean each time I’ve gone, including the bathrooms, which to me is very important. I love the variety of the beers, my personal favorite is the honey wheat. I gave 4 stars just due to a lack of customer service from my point of few, had to wave down the waitress. But other then that it’s a great place

This is a cool place to hang out. The beer is okay… not my favorite in town. but the atmosphere is what is great! Take a few friends and play some Cards Against Humanity. Make sure you stop by for live art paintings and a poetry at «I’ll drink to that» which happens once per month at Tractor. They also have week night events. Check it out.

Real cool vibe in this place. Dog friendly in and outside, plenty of brews to choose from, funky art all around, you can even make a donation to a favorite organization on the inside of the establishment along the wall by the front door. Most of the brews are only $ 4 each, and they have a different food truck per day arriving after 5pm, check their website to see which one will be there! Outside area has a shaded area with about 6 tables, and a few tables along the walls if you wanted to soak up some sun before the sun goes down or scope out the stars at night

So a guy leaves town for a few years and comes back to a super-​dope new location for one of his favorite breweries. Why did I leave? Hmmm…
The new-​to-​me location is a huge improvement over the Nob Hill taproom in available space alone (well, I haven’t been there for a minute so maybe I should check that location first?). Tractor has a nice large lot, a former warehouse/​industrial building with like 20 parking spaces right out front and a nice open entry. Big roll-​up doors flank the main entry and lead to a pretty spacious, tall main bar and seating area. The wall-​length chalkboard lists everything of interest — only beer, no food! — and the long bar offers plenty of seating to stare at the chalk art from. Also in the main area is a stage and several secluded booths. It’s a unique design, allowing for some separation without feeling closed up. You can also enjoy the outdoor seating, there are a few choices, and a nice shaded area right out front even allows for smoking (I’m not big on smoking but a lot of places don’t allow it anymore).
Around the corner and down a hallway is the brewing area — and oh boy, have they grown! The new space allows them a lot of room to grow even more. Two rows of 30bbl tanks all lined up nicely greet you if you peek around the door, and David might even invite you in for a peek around. I found on my visits happy, eager staff willing to chat and smile and, generally, they make me want to stay and have another pint. Or four.
They have a rotating food truck, and Joe Sausage just relocated a half a block north on 4^th Ave, so if you go in the afternoon you’ve got some of the best sausage in the city not far away (early enough and he’ll have his cart cooking out front). Given that it’s an industrial neighborhood, parking after hours shouldn’t be much of a problem.
Whenever you go, enjoy a Farmer’s Tan and walk around the place. One of ABQ’s best breweries and now taprooms.

The new Tractor is really cool. Of course there is beer and usually there is a truck for some grub, but the part I like best is the people. Tractor brings together a strange but awesome group of folks. They host events like showing of ‘Better Call Saul’ which is where it is at. The sense of community, assisted by beer, is fun and makes you want to return. Parking can be tough but that can be worked out with a little walking. A nice place to stop but don’t always count on food so bring a picnic or call in some delivery.

Started my day with a private tour of the brewery and special class showing us how the lovely people at tractor craft all of those wonderful brews.
Started with the oatmeal stout. Stong, thick, robust, bit of a Java flavor in the back of my pallette. Good.
Hard cider next. Crisp, tart, tiny bit of citrus tang. Glided off my tongue and down my throat like… well it was delicious.
Wonder Weiss was my next glass. As far as I know the only sour they have right now. I am just getting into sours, and i feel like this is the perfect starter. Not crazy sour, but got you right in your cheeks. Clean and crisp with the right bite of «holy crap delicious what the heck did I just drink» at the end.
Then I had farmers tan. A perfect red ale, with the perfect am out of bitterness. I’m not a huge red ale fan, but I happily finished my serving.
Then I get to one of my favorites, Mustachio milk stout. Beautiful head, nice strong aroma, and the taste… oh the wonderful stout. Perfect, bitter, a little sweet and oh so smooth. Loved every drop of both glasses.
He than added some cider to my milk stout to up the ante on the awesomeness before me. So good. Some call it a snake bite and i see why. It is a quick hit to your mouth. So any flavors swirling around combing into the most amazing beer combination ever.
Finally was turkey drool. Saved it for last because it seemed to be the favorite among my group, and i immediately tasted why. Sweet, boozy, FREAKING DELICIOUS. Nice buttery mouth feel with a citrus after taste.
They brew their own cream soda there and Antal, who I am currently in love with, combined the turkey drool and cream soda for a taste I was not ready for. Goosebumps, everywhere. To try to describe it would not give it justice. Quite possible the most enjoyable drink I have had, EVER.
GO GET A FEW.
All in all I could not have asked for a better time. Tractor is now my favorite brewery. The know of the staff is unprecedented. They are friendly, welcoming. And good to look at.
Tractor is full of Albuquerque goodness. What a fun place to be. My first time, definitely not my last.

Tractor has a lot of brews on tap. I frequent this place more than the one in Nob Hill since the overall atmosphere is more inviting. There’s more seating and staff is friendly and attentive. There was a food truck that served delicious fish tacos parked out at Tractor the last time I went for some beers.

I really enoyed the 6% humidity dry cider. Atmosphere is well done. Service is crazy ass slow outside on patio two weekends in a row. Not sure how they can trouble shoot that. It needs to get figured out for sure.

first time at 4^th street location ( Unilocal beer release) and really liked it although parking is limited.
had more beers on tap than nob hill local which was a pleasant surprise.
have been a fan of tractor for a while so was glad to see them expand. Had a food truck/​smoker set up which smelled awesome (alas, rain kept me from partaking in BBQ goodness)
In conclusion, keep up the good work Tractor! Now open one in Rio or Bern, lol

I can’t believe I had not visited the new Tractor location yet. I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this place. Its located downtown in the heart of the industrial district. The building is quite charming. It has that rustic, hometown, welcoming, hipster, pacific northwest feel with a sprinkle of Burqueno. I dig it. The beers were also a welcome surprise. My husband had their cider, it was really refreshing, clean finish, slightly sweet, and a hint of berry. I tried their Plisner Roja. I didn’t know such a thing existed but I think I may have found a new favorite beer. We didn’t sample as many beers as I would of liked to but I will definitely be back.

Beer on a Sunday!!! I say yes, why not?
So far Tractor Brew has been host to a few events this week, and I’m forever grateful. Why’s this? Well in short I’ve finally found a love and enjoyment for IPAs.
From « Unilocal’s On Tap» to the «IPA Challenge Albuquerque» the events this week have been glorious.
Great service, great people, and all around a great time. The amazing thing for me was how many people were out for a Sunday. It was an amazing turn out, but why not??? It’s an amazing establishment. The bar and seating area is beyond impressive. From the emblazoned logo using Edison lights, to the cardboard bird that flys above, Tractor Brew knows what’s up, and knows what we want. Having a expansive selection of beers on tap helps as well, and so does having a bright, helpful, polite, and knowledgeable staff.
As one of the many Breweries in ABQ it’s nice to see all the natives help cultivate the movement through their support. So yeah, beer on a Sunday… Why not?
