Fake Spring Calls for Fun at Santa Fe Brewing HQ

When Santa Fe teases us with a little "fake spring" sunshine, it’s the perfect excuse to gather friends and head to Santa Fe Brewing HQ for an outdoor hangout.

We recently met up with a bunch of friends, bringing along bikes, monster trucks, and picnic blankets. The result? Pure magic. The expansive outdoor space at Santa Fe Brewing HQ was roomy, well-contained, and ideal for kids to explore freely. There’s even a charming little path just right for skipping, scooters, and bikes. Watching the kids zoom around, hear their giggles, and feel assured of their safety (both physically and from the occasional grumpy adult) was truly heartwarming.

Kid-Friendly and Delicious Eats

Of course, no outing is complete without some tasty food. We indulged in delicious tacos and crispy chicken tenders from Fusion Tacos, located right on site. Parenting hack: there’s nothing quite like the competitive spirit of toddlers when it comes to eating—the threat of another child finishing their chicken tenders works wonders!

Why We Loved the Afternoon

We chose a late weekday afternoon for our visit, and the space was blissfully quiet—pretty much just us. The peaceful atmosphere allowed the kids to explore to their hearts' content, squealing with joy as they discovered new corners of the space. Knowing that they were safe made it so much easier to sit back and relax.

A Sip for Everyone

While the brewery offers a wide selection of beers and ciders, I opted for a non-alcoholic witbier. (Sadly, I can’t find the name online, but it was delicious!) As always, drink responsibly if you choose to imbibe.
