Belt’s Beer Garden: Happy hops

Friday the 13th can be a scary day. But these hoppy brews should be able to ease your mind and keep you happy.

We’ll start with a BBG first: a beer from The Land of Enchantment (New Mexico).

Santa Fe Brewing Company began way back when in 1988 in the place you’d expect – Santa Fe, New Mexico. Slowly they have grown over the past 29 years, moving into a new facility in 1997 and expanding distribution.

After expanding again in 2003, they started canning in 2010, and then last year expanded again – they added an underground barrel-cave for souring and extended their reach to 10 states; mostly the South and Southwest (New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri).
