Santa Fe Brewing Company is a brewery located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was established in 1988 as New Mexico's first craft brewery [1] and has since become the largest brewery in the state. [2] Its beers are distributed throughout the Southwestern United States. [3] In 2010, Santa Fe Brewing became the first brewery in New Mexico to produce canned beer. [4]
The brewery was founded by Michael Levis in 1988. In 1996, Levis sold the business to a partnership formed by his son Ty along with Dave Forester, Brian Lock, and Carlos Muller. [5] Lock bought out the other three partners in 2003 to become the sole owner. [2] In 2005, Santa Fe Brewing moved its operations to a much larger facility, the former Wolf Canyon Brewery near Interstate 25. [1] This doubled the brewery's capacity from 15 barrels to 30 barrels, and annual production increased from 1,750 barrels in 2004 [2] to 6,000 barrels in 2007. [3]
In 2010, Santa Fe Brewing began offering its Freestyle Pilsner and Happy Camper IPA in cans, becoming the first brewery in New Mexico to do so. [4]
