High and Dry Brewing ~ Albuquerque, New Mexico

First visit: May 2023

Our drive from Pueblo to ABQ was uneventful and we checked into the Sheraton Hotel Uptown. Nice old school "corporate hotel" that had cheaper rates than the Best Western. While I prefer historical hotels, it's not always feasible or practical. The hotel was very nice with none of the usual hiccups we typically experience today.

After that we went to a few antique malls and thrift shops until it was time for a beer. The closest nearby was High and Dry. Perfect as I wanted to try something new. Albuquerque has many nicknames, but I think the best one is Albuquirky. The neighborhoods here in this part of town (near Univ of New Mexico) are all funky, and if you're a Mid Mod fan like Mrs. RJG, there's much to look at and enjoy.

Plenty of parking and once inside, High and Dry offers a very friendly space. Plenty of seating inside and out to quaff your beverage of choice.

We grabbed a beer and they asked if we wanted to start a tab. I said I'm not sure yet, so we just sat down and enjoyed our beer (delicious BTW). While there, a barbecue pit was going. The smell continued to waft under our nose. In other words, their method was working lol. Our original plan was to revisit Thai Cuisine II, but neither of us were super excited about it. No reason why - just our current mood really. So we decided on the BBQ for dinner (see next post). And grabbed two more beers while starting the tab...
