Rowley Farmhouse Ales is a farmhouse-style brewery with a focus on mixed culture fermentation. Our inspiration comes from American and European wild and mixed culture fermented ales. In addition to our own beers, we have an extensive draft and bottle list of the best available beers from New Mexico and around the world. Cheers!
Draft
2 • Guinness • Guinness Draught
Stout - Irish Dry • Dublin, County Dublin • 4.2% ABV • 45.0 IBUSwirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS. Guinness Draught is sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles. The ABV varies from 4.1 to 4.3%. Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same beer only served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C
3 • • RFA - The Grass Is Always Greener - Sparkling Hop Water
• • % ABV • IBUMade with Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo hops
4 • Firestone Walker Brewing Company • Union Jack IPA
IPA - American • Paso Robles, CA • 7.0% ABV • 70.0 IBUHuge flavor that packs a punch. This is Union Jack — an icon of the West Coast IPA style, for those who like their beer loud and proud.
5 • Firestone Walker Brewing Company • 30th Anniversary
Stout - Other • Paso Robles, CA • 12.2% ABV • 27.0 IBUEspresso-dark with layers of coffee, vanilla, molasses, chocolate, and caramel, finishing smooth with a gentle warmth.
6 • Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. • Pale Ale
Pale Ale - American • Chico, CA • 5.6% ABV • 38.0 IBUOur most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.
7 • Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. • PILS
Pilsner - German • Chico, CA • 4.7% ABV • 25.0 IBUBright citrus and tangerine aromas rise from the glass, balanced with a subtle touch of sweet malt. Old world brewing meets craft innovation. Bringing together the craftsmanship of European brewing with distinctive American flavor.
8 • La Cumbre Brewing Company • A Slice of Hefen
Wheat Beer • Albuquerque, NM • 5.4% ABV • 15.0 IBUA traditional take on a Bavarian classic! Poured into a 23 oz. Hefe glass, this beer is served mit hefe with a voluminous white head. The aroma is everything we love in the style; clove, banana and vanilla. The body is rich and creamy, yet finishes fairly dry and is as refreshing as any beer you’ll drink here or anywhere else.
10 • RFA • Agent Scully - S6E10
Belgian IPA • Santa Fe, NM • 6.6% ABV • 66.0 IBUAgent Scully has been in an extended funk, suffering from chiller failure depression. After said extended hiatus, she finally got off her lazy ass and pulled herself up by the bootstraps and decided to do something about this lack of a chiller. She can't force the accountants to pay for an expensive chiller replacement, but she can be creative and brew around her equipment problems. She decided to call the good folks at Bootleg Biology and get a fresh pitch of Oslo kveik yeast, which can be fermented warm and therefore doesn't rely on that POS chiller. She went with Amarillo and Nelson hops and kicked up the bitterness to 66 IBU's (Tinseth). The result is a funky little devil of an IPA. Give her props for working through her depression and adapting to the situation. Cheers!
11 • Steel Bender • Lloyd's Kolsch
• Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, NM • 5.0% ABV • 25.0 IBUA light and dry, easy drinking Kölsch style ale brewed with German Pilsner malt, German hops, and fermented cool resulting in a clean, refreshing brew with a herbal, lemon hop character.
12 • Alaskan Brewing Co. • Amber
Altbier • Juneau, AK • 5.3% ABV • 18.0 IBUAlt. The name of this beer style comes from the German word "meaning old". This refers to the aging that alts undergo since they ferment more slowly and at colder temperatures than most ales. Slow fermentation helps condition the flavors in Alaskan Amber. Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored “alt” style beer notably well balanced.
13 • RFA • Stalker
Farmhouse Ale - Other • Santa Fe, NM • 7.0% ABV • 15.0 IBUStalker is our homage to the lovely biere de miel, and was brewed with our house mixed culture and a healthy dose of orange blossom honey. We further aged the beer on even more orange blossom honey. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did waiting for it to mature. Cheers!
14 • Austin Eastciders • Original Dry Cider
Cider - Dry • Armada, MI • 5.0% ABV • 0.0 IBUAustin Eastciders Original Dry Cider is a crisp, smooth, dry craft cider made with European bittersweet apples & American dessert apples. Additional Notes: -Flavor: Bittersweet, Winey, Culinary apples, Pear -Aroma: Tart & Ripe Apples -Food Pairings: Brisket tacos, Oysters, Soft cheese
15 • Boulevard Brewing Co. • Rye On Rye
Rye Wine • Kansas City, MO • 13.2% ABV • 33.0 IBUThis brawny, tawny ale is a savory celebration of spicy rye malt and rye whiskey, compliments of extended aging in freshly-emptied rye barrels. Rye on Rye pours a deep amber and evokes notes of charred oak and vanilla, with a finish this delightfully boozy and sweet! Malt Pale Rye Munich Cara Crystal Rye Hops Magnum Citra Styrian Golding Athanum Adjuncts Brown Sugar Rye Barrels
16 • La Cumbre Brewing Company • Project Dank Radio Edition
IPA • Albuquerque, NM • 7.5% ABV • 100.0 IBUSimcoe, Eukanot, Citra
17 • • Saison Dupont
Saison • Leuze-en-Hainaut, Région Wallonne • 6.5% ABV • 30.0 IBUSaison Dupont is a world classic beer and the yardstick for one of Belgium’s most important beer styles. It is the most admired AND imitated Saison in the world. A strong, vital yeast is key to full attenuation and thus to the style. Saison Dupont is straw colored with a dense creamy head. The nose is alive, like fresh raised bread, estery with citrus and spice notes. Full-bodied and malty, it sparkles on the palate and finishes with a zesty hop and citrus attack. Incredibly compatible with food!
18 • Stone Brewing • Stone IPA
IPA - American • Escondido, CA • 6.9% ABV • 71.0 IBUBy definition, an India Pale Ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale — and we deliver in spades. Now one of the most well respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it. Hops: Magnum, Chinook & Centennial
19 • RFA • Hyside Nordic Blonde Ale
Blonde / Golden Ale - Other • Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 25.0 IBUEach spring, we produce a contract beer for our good friends at Hyside Inflatables up in Boulder. They love a fun beer that they can enjoy after river trips, or at trade events and the like. Since our chiller is down this year, we decided to go with a blonde ale fermented with Bootleg Biology's Olso strain of kveik. The resulting farmhouse blonde ale is funky and refreshing, and can indeed be crushed after a fun day on the river! Skål!
20 • RFA • Steindock'd - Colkegan Barrel 2018
Barleywine • Santa Fe, NM • 12.5% ABV • 82.0 IBUThis is the Colkegan barrel aged version of our 2018 barleywine, Steindock'd. This beer was aged in freshly dumped Colkegan barrels from our good friends at Santa Fe Spirits for a year prior to service. Steindock'd is our 2018 ProAm collaboration beer brewed with homebrewers Jim Steinbach and Kent Steinhaus. This is the fifth year in a row they have "come together" and brewed their amazing barleywine, but the first time they have brewed a large batch at a professional brewery. Over the years, they have won many medals with this beer, including a gold in NHC finals in 2015. Kent always seemed to be one medal ahead, but Jim came out on top when he won gold at NHC. Not bad for a lazy brewer like Jimmy! We only made one change to their recipe, as we substituted Crisp Chevallier heritage malt in place of the plain old Maris Otter they had been using. We think the difference is significant, as Chevallier is the richest basemalt we have tried to date, which is perfect for a barleywine. We appreciate their willingness to come brew this lovely bit of life with us! Cheers!
22 • RFA • Fields of Rye
Farmhouse Ale - Saison • Santa Fe, NM • 6.0% ABV • 15.0 IBUFields of Rye is a foeder-fermented neoclassic rye saison, and is a core offering for us here at Rowley Farmhouse Ales. After experimenting with this beer for over 2 years now, we've come up with a recipe that we are in love with, and are now going to be offering on a regular basis. We've had this beer as a rotating beer that changed along with the seasons, but we've decided to hold this beer in its' current configuration, and make other saisons to celebrate the seasonal changes. How great is that? Fields of Rye is brewed with a healthy charge of malted rye and is bittered to 15 IBU's with Magnum, then gently whirlpool hopped with Slovenian Styrian Goldings, which is an aroma hop with a resinous and earthy flavor profile that exhibits soft notes of white pepper. It finishes dry, as we fermented it with the Brasserie Thiriez yeast strain. Pair this lovely beer up with bloomy-rind cheeses, Bouillabaisse, a big bowl of mussels, smoked meats, or a slice of lemon meringue pie. Cheers!
23 • RFA • Mountain of Light - Riwaka
Sour - Gose • Santa Fe, NM • 4.5% ABV • 12.0 IBUMountain of Light is our foeder-fermented and bulk aged gose-style wheat beer. It is brewed with a large percentage of Mecca Grade Shaniko, Alvarado, and Wickiup wheats, along with Weyermann Extra Pale Pils basemalt. We sour the beer with our house lactobacillus strain, then ferment it using a healthy pitch of Dupont yeast. It then sees the resident house mixed culture embedded in our foeder wood interstices and is allowed to meld into a finished product over an extended period of time. It features a light touch salinity from Pacific sea salt added to the mash, lemony sourness from the lactobacillus fermentation, and a light touch of funk from the wood contact. It's light but complex, and ultimately refreshing. To this specific beer, we dry-hopped the base beer with New Zealand Riwaka hops. The Riwaka flavor profile is dominated by strong grapefruit zest, passion fruit, lime, and sometimes subtle pine or dank, woody notes. Cheers, Santa Fe!
24 • RFA • Every Brewery Has a Paul
Farmhouse Ale - Other • Santa Fe, NM • 6.0% ABV • 22.0 IBUEvery Brewery Has a Paul is a lightly hopped mixed culture farmhouse ale brewed in collaboration with our good friend, and most excellent homebrewer, Troy Meier. It was brewed with premium pilsner malt and wheat, and fermented with our house mixed culture. We finished it with a light dry hopping with Nelson Sauvin hops, and naturally conditioned the resulting beer in both cans and kegs. Thanks for coming out to brew with us Troy, and remember kids, don't be a Paul! Cheers!
RFA Bottles - Onsite
RFA • Petite Blanche - Wild Hop
Farmhouse Ale - Sour • Santa Fe, NM • 5.1% ABV • 12.0 IBUFor this beer, we took a small bit of our foeder-aged base beer, Petite Blanche, and we dry-hopped it with foraged wild Neomexicanus hops. It's fun spin on this lovely base, and we hop (pun intended!) you enjoy it! This exact batch underwent extended bottle and 1 sixtel kegs worth of conditioning on orange blossom honey from Arizona. Cheers!
RFA • Supernatant
Sour - Grüner Veltliner lees • Santa Fe, NM • 8.0% ABV • 5.0 IBUSupernantant is a heftier version of our Germophile base, that starts out via souring with the same lactobacillus strain we use in Germophile fermentations, but then we finish this beefy beer with a dose of Norwegian Farmhouse yeast, which is a Kveik type strain. We then rack the beer onto a healthy charge of Grüner Veltliner lees from our good friends at Vivac Winery up in Dixon. After an extended aging period on these lees, we then bottled this beer with Alfalfa honey. The result is a crisp and funky sour ale that is best enjoyed with a big chunk of soft rind cheese and good friends. Cheers! Lastly, some details: pH = 3.34, TA = 12.9 g/L
RFA • True to Caricature
Sour - Other • Santa Fe, NM • 7.0% ABV • 12.0 IBUTrue to Caricature is a beer we brewed with our friend Nate from Free Will Brewing in Perkasie, Pennsylvania. Nate is one of the top mixed fermentation brewers in the country, and we are proud to have brewed with him. If you're ever out that way, be sure to try his beer. You'll thank us later! True to Caricature is a beer that was co-fermented using both of our house mixed cultures in stainless steel, then gently aged in Santa Fe Spirits Atapino casks, along with Atapino-soaked piñon nuts. It exhibits a bright lemon acidity on the front of the palate, followed by delicate notes of pine and a creamy vanilla note in the finish. Special thanks to the amazing Em Sauter (@pintsandpanels) for the fun caricature! Cheers!
RFA • Western Lights - Estate Montmorency Cherry
• Santa Fe, NM • 6.2% ABV • 22.0 IBUWestern Lights is a long time coming collaboration with our good friend Kyle from Horus Aged Ales. We weren't happy with the initial batch, as the so we dialed in the recipe with lessons learned from the first brew, then racked the beer into freshly dumped sauvignon blanc barriques back in April of '22. The resulting saison is quite exquisite! We took an aliquot of this lovely base then aged it on organic Montmorency cherries that we picked off our own trees last summer. To call our humble little lot an estate is a stretch, but it sounds good doesn't it? Cheers!

RFA • Germophile - GABF Silver Medal
Sour - Berliner Weisse • Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 5.0 IBUGermophile celebrates our love for souring bacteria, specifically Lactobacillus in this case. It is our core Berlin-Style Weissbier, and is brewed with a 50/50 blend of continental pilsner malt and malted white wheat, and is soured with Lactobacillus. We then finish the beer with a neutral ale yeast, resulting in a dry and tart refreshing beer. This beer won silver at the 2018 GABF in the Berliner-Style Weisse category, which we were very proud of. Prosit!
