An all American neighborhood brewery!
Marble Brewery has three taprooms in Albuquerque NM. I decided to go to the NE Heights location on a Monday night. Man, was it busy!
One of the things I didn’t like, you have to go around back next to the bathrooms for room temperature water. If you’re a loner like me, I recommend finishing your beer or taking it with you as you won’t be able to see it while you pour your water.
The house rule is that you’re only allowed to consume 4 pints or 64 ounces. While I appreciate the rule, I feel like this should be posted somewhere more prominent. I would have ordered more tasters and fewer pints!
Now on to their delicious beers:
Their Double White is a two-time GABF winner. It’s a wheat pale ale that has a nice golden haze. It’s a good beer available all year-round but finishes with a nice coriander spice which reminds me of winter.
If it’s warmer outside, go for their Berry White. It’s like a version of the Double White except its brewed with raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. It’s a bit darker and less hazy than the Double White, but overall a great beer that finishes with a slight tartness.
The Pilsner is probably their most awarded beer. It tastes just like it smells; hoppy and floral. It finishes pretty smooth. What got me was the heavy carbonation on this beer, bubbles were rising from the bottom of the glass all the way to the last drop.
However, their best beer is the Americano Stout! They brew a 160 barrel batch in early March and according to the bartender that usually lasts them until late April. It starts off with chocolate notes and finishes with an espresso taste. Totally smooth and delicious. Like drinking a carbonated chocolate espresso shake! If you haven’t tried it, go get it now!
I’ve actually been back a few times to the same taproom just to pick up more of the Americano Stout. Most of the staff remembered my name and made a point to stop by, which really impressed me. So, if you like drinking good beers at a local spot this is the place for you!
