Used to work for a brewery in NM and then a specialized beer, wine and spirits shop so I'm a big beer nerd! I love an English bitter style beer, which thankfully we have a couple of good options in the state. I'll pretty much drink anything, but the older I get the more I appreciate an affordable crisp light style. Always a good time for a Pacifico or a Famosa. What I really miss, though, is an ice cold Hamm's -- they stopped distro in NM and I think most of the US.
Now that I'm a social worker and not "in the industry" I can finally go to a brewery and enjoy myself again. There's so much bullshit in the craft beer world sadly (as in any industry) and overall my state is flanked by two states with far superior brewers. Still, I have my local favorites and never have trouble stocking the fridge with something!
