  If there is one thing, I have learned it is that breweries can be, and usually are located anywhere. That is exactly the case in the Northeast Heights neighborhood of Albuquerque where tucked away in the back of a shopping center lies a small neighborhood brewery. Not only do they make great beer in a wide variety of styles, but they also focus on being eco-friendly, as well as philanthropic, and community based. To top it all off they also opened their doors during the height of the pandemic, so when near Candelaria and Eubank make sure to stop by and sample Resource Brewing.  When you first drive up it is evident just how small this brewery is, and it is easy to drive by and miss altogether. Inside though it is a very welcoming brewery that has a very comfortable feel to it. One of my favorite aspects is that there is only a small divider separating guests from the brewhouse and fermenters. Follow that around and you will be greeted at the bar by very friendly servers.

  Since moving here one of my favorite pastimes has been visiting all the museums across the state. So far I have been fortunate enough to learn about the states gemstone, one of the most historically storied families in racing, the Native American history, hot air balloons and even the largest collection of rattlesnakes in one building. But ironically enough I had yet to visit a museum dedicated to the state itself. Thankfully that all changed on a recent daytrip to Santa Fe where I finally made it to the New Mexico History Museum.  The museum itself is in a great spot right across from the plaza, and when you walk in you are instantly transported through the rich history of New Mexico. The main exhibit serves as a timeline of the state’s history across the multiple levels of the museum. Guests start in the earliest days and learn about everything from Coronado to New Mexico’s involvement in the Civil War through the struggle to achieve statehood, through the current day. I...

  Santa Fe is a city that I can honestly say I look forward to exploring more. The capital city of New Mexico is so unique in so many ways it makes sense that it is nicknamed “the City Different.” One thing I knew ahead of time was that it is not only the highest capital in the nation, but also the oldest. What I did not realize was that Santa Fe is also home to some of the oldest buildings in the nation and are still standing today. Recently while I was up there, I was lucky enough to get to see some of them, and as an added bonus they are within walking distance of the plaza. San Miguel Church: In a town full of so many iconic churches the San Miguel church seems small by comparison, but it stands as the oldest church in the United States being built in 1610. Thankfully this small adobe building is still around, and guests are allowed in to see it, and the small museum attached to it. The inside is just as small as you would guess but features some beautiful architecture inclu...
