IBU 50 / ABV 4.7   
The annual collaboration brew to kick off Albuquerque beer week is here! This year brewers from Boxing Bear, Canteen, Chama River, La Cumbre, Marble, Nexus, Ponderosa, and Turtle Mountain gathered at Chama River to brew a deliciously sessionable IPA…

Adrift IPA 2014

  Our brewer got his hands on some exciting hops for this IPA and it’ll knock you off course. A large percentage of the bitterness came from the fifty pounds of Azacca whole leaf hops added to the wort at the end of the boil. All the color comes from the...

Timber! Oaked IPA

OG 1.064 / IBU 79 / ABV 7.0

India Stupid Ale

IBU stupid good / ABV 7.5   
Turtle’s entry into the 2014 NM Brewer’s Guild IPA Challenge smashes the doors of perception (or more correctly, the ceiling) topping out at 120+ International Bittering Units! A measurement of 100-120 IBUs is widely considered to be the absolute limit of human understanding (or more correctly, discernability). We are rightly proud of our solid 4th place finish…
