Breweries Near the Albuquerque Airport
FMV Brewing Co. is upstairs at Yale Landing with a patio facing Downtown and the Sandias — the closest taproom to the Albuquerque Sunport, and a considerably better place to wait out a delay than the gate.

A genuinely New Mexico tap list
Seven beers, every one from a New Mexico brewery: 7K IPA from Santa Fe Brewing, Elevated IPA and Azulito from La Cumbre, Double White from Marble, Dougie Style and High Plains Pilsner from Canteen. If you've flown in wanting to try New Mexican beer without driving all over the city, this is the efficient version.
Cocktails, wine and cider too
Cocktails built on New Mexico spirits — Los Poblanos gin, Red River agave, Vara rum. Wine by the glass from Mission Winery and St. Clair. Sandia cider by the can. And coffee roasted in house for whoever's driving.
Food from next door
FMV doesn't run a kitchen — they've partnered with Perico's downstairs, so you can order New Mexican food to your table while you drink.
