Anyone try Santa Fe Brewing?

Post by Beer-lord »

As of 1/27/14, Santa Fe will be available in Louisiana. Never heard of it but I am curious if anyone has tried any and care to share their opinion.
Of course, I'm mostly interested in the Black IPA and Happy Camper IPA but am interested in the Java Stout and Irish Red Ale.

I'm five miles away from the brewery. I like the Happy Camper and their Saison 88 is great. The Java stout is a good coffee stout. They just recently did a black rye porter that was great.. I'm not a fan of the black IpA..

Santa Fe is one of the most available craft brewers I can find out here in rural NM. The happy Camper is very good, and as you probably guessed, since it comes in cans, it makes me a happy camper, I grab a sixer when we go camping. The Nut Brown is one of the best nut browns I have had. State Pen Porter is definitely worth a try. I have not tried the others that were mentioned, but I do like Santa Fe brewery.

I'm definitely going to give this a shot. I don't know yet exactly which ones will be available here but for some reason, the New Orleans area is starting to get more and more beer that we were never able to get before. I guess the news is out that craft beer here really sells well.

Found me some Happy Camper IPA last night and will try it this weekend. I was hoping to find their Black IPA as well but I'm told that they are so new in our area, only a few beers will be available until distribution gets worked out.
Will post my thoughts after I have enjoyed one or two of these.
