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!

3 • BLVD • Barrel-Aged Tiramisu Stout
Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee • Kansas City, MO • 11.2% ABV • 12.0 IBUIs there any other dessert that is as fun to say as “Tiramisu?” Even the translation is fun—“cheer me up.” Much like its namesake, this beer has layers of sweet, complex flavors of coffee and cocoa that should be enjoyed with friends at the end of a meal. Aged in Soft Red Wheat barrels from our friends at Holladay Distillery and brewed with espresso from our friends at The Roasterie.
4 • RFA • IPA
IPA - American • Santa Fe, NM • 6.7% ABV • 50.0 IBUIPA is just that, our IPA. It starts with a base of premium two-row barley from the North, a hint of white wheat and German Aromatic for head retention and color, then hopped in the boil and whirlpool with Yakima Valley-grown Columbus and Centennial hops. We convert the resulting wort to beer with our house Sacchromyces ale yeast strain, then dry hop the beer post fermentation (yes, the old way) with American-grown Chinook hops. This is a decidedly old school American IPA. Welcome to the new normal. Cheers!
5 • RFA • Sin Barreras - Colkegan Barrel 2024
Stout • Santa Fe, NM • 13.5% ABV • 50.0 IBUFor the 2024 Blackest Friday, we are dropping our latest variant of Sin Barreras imperial stout, aged for an extended period in Santa Fe Spirits Colkegan barrels. This lightly smoky version will stand out, and beg your taste buds for another sip. Cheers, Santa Fe!
6 • Boulevard Brewing Co. • Tank 7
Farmhouse Ale - Saison • Kansas City, MO • 8.5% ABV • 38.0 IBUA traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ale, the perfect combination of elements came together in their #7 fermenter. You could call it fate, but they called it Tank 7, and so it is. Beginning with a big surge of fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, the flavor of this complex, straw-colored ale tapers off to a peppery, dry finish.
7 • Second Street Brewery • Agua Fria Pilsner
Pilsner - German • Santa Fe, NM • 5.3% ABV • 34.0 IBUCrisp, clean maltiness bittered with German Magnum and kettle additions of Hallertau, Tettnanger, Cz Saaz, and Huell Melon, the new experimental progeny of Cascade, developed in Germany. Dry-hopped with Huell Melon, Tettnanger, and Saaz for a floral, refreshing finish.
8 • Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. • Sunny Little Thing
Wheat Beer - Other • Chico, CA • 5.0% ABV • 10.0 IBUBask in the sunny little thing, a wheat ale made with citrus for radiant flavor that’s bold yet easy going, and balanced by a soft and smooth finish.
9 • RFA • Amber is the Color...
Doppelbock • Santa Fe, NM • 7.0% ABV • 25.0 IBU...of your energy. JJ and I brewed a doppelbock from scratch (new recipe), using 100% Munich 1 as a base from Schwebach Malz in Estancia, New Mexico. The color reminded JJ and myself immediately of the fabled 311 song, so we are running with it. Cheers!
10 • RFA • Amber is the Color - Habanero
Doppelbock • Santa Fe, NM • 7.0% ABV • 25.0 IBUAmber is the Color - Habanero was inspired by our good friends Mark (who we lost this past year) and Roger as they loved the crazy hot pepper lifestyle! JJ took a barrel's worth of the base beer and lightly dosed it with a kiss of habanero peppers (no seeds!). We didn't want you to sweat like they used to when they tried those crazy hot pepper challenges when you drank this, but there might be a light heat building in the finish, but it's subtle by design. Let the crazies torture themselves! Happy Festivus, Santa Fe!
11 • 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!
12 • RFA • Slow Ready for This
Sour - Blackberry Gose • Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 5.0 IBUSlow Ready for This is a collaboration effort between our friends at Button Brew House in Tucson, and ourselves. It is brewed with a healthy charge of raw Sonoran white wheat from Marana, Arizona and fermented with a live lactobacillus culture. It is then refermented to dryness on a chef's kiss charge of blackberries. It took it's sweet time (that or we got sidetracked and didn't package it in a timely manner), but the beauty of live lacto fermentations using raw wheat is that the two coalesce and continue to co-evolve over time, yielding a beautiful marriage of flavors that you simply can't get with a short term kettle sour. Some beers are worth the wait! Cheers!
13 • RFA • Agent Scully - Season 6, Episode 9
IPA • Santa Fe, NM • 6.6% ABV • 50.0 IBUAgent Scully decided on a Nelson and Mosaic combo this time around, and we like it! Cheers, Santa Fe!
14 • Austin Eastciders • Pineapple Cider
Cider - Other Fruit • Armada, MI • 5.0% ABV • 0.0 IBUAustin Eastciders Pineapple Cider is a bright semi-sweet cider made with tropical pineapple and heirloom bittersweet apples. Additional Notes: European bittersweet apples & American dessert apples are blended with golden ripe pineapples for a refreshingly tropical experience ! -Flavor: Tropical, Pulpy, Pineapple -Aroma: Tropical fruit, Ripe -Food Pairings: Al Pastor tacos, Spicy Indian dishes, and Caramel desserts
15 • BLVD • Bourbon Barrel Quad
Belgian Quadrupel • Kansas City, MO • 12.2% ABV • 26.0 IBUBased loosely on the Smokestack Series’ The Sixth Glass, this abbey-style quadrupel is separated into a number of oak bourbon barrels where it ages for varying lengths of time, some for up to three years. Cherries are added to make up for the “angel's share” of beer lost during barrel aging. Selected barrels are then blended for optimum flavor. The resulting beer retains only very subtle cherry characteristics, with toffee and vanilla notes coming to the fore.
16 • Lagunitas Brewing Company • The Beast of Both Worlds
IPA - Imperial / Double • Petaluma, CA • 8.0% ABV • 40.0 IBUHazy flavors without haze? West Coast hopping without mega bitterness? This double IPA w/ Mosaic, Citra, Strata & Sabro is quite the contrary kaiju.
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 • La Cumbre Brewing Company • Project Dank Mars Edition
IPA • Albuquerque, NM • 7.5% ABV • 100.0 IBU
19 • RFA • Brigitte - Mandarina Bavaria Dry-Hopped
Lager • Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 25.0 IBUBrigitte was a kind woman from Brugge that reminded us that there are still kind people in the world. She wasn't into sours, and really only liked drinking lagers, so we decided to make a Belgian-style lager in her honor. We know this isn't really a thing, but why not? Thanks for the enlightenment, Brigitte! This second batch was dry-hopped with the lovely Mandarina Bavaria hops, which present a soft tangerine note in the finish. Cheers!
20 • RFA • Grimace
Plum Belgian Dubbel • Santa Fe, NM • 7.0% ABV • 11.0 IBUGrimace is a Belgian-style dubbel, aged on sour plums. It’s Treu’s last beer before she skedaddled, and it’s damn tasty! Cheers!
21 • RFA • Second-String Loser
Belgian Strong Golden Ale • Santa Fe, NM • 9.6% ABV • 26.0 IBUIYKYK - Thanks Jami for the assist! Drink up, losers!
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 • Germophile - Nelson Sauvin/Riwaka Dry-Hopped
• Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 5.0 IBUGermophile celebrates our love for souring bacteria, specifically Lactobacillus in this case. It is our core Berliner 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 Thiriez yeast, resulting in a dry and tart refreshing beer. This version is dry-hopped with a healthy charge of 2023 crop Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka hops for a little extra kick in the mouth. Cheers!
24 • RFA • Germophile - GABF Silver Medal
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!

RFA • Ceremony
American Wild Ale with Tea • Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 15.0 IBUWhen tea is consumed in many cultures, there is a distinct ceremonial aspect to the event. We wanted to celebrate this act of ceremony with a mixed fermentation saison brewed with a portion of rice in the grain bill, that was then dry-hopped with a unique tea blend. For this beer, we used Boulder Blues from the Tea Spot in Boulder, Colorado. This handcrafted blend combines tea fine Japanese Sencha and Chinese Dragonwell for a smooth base with wild strawberries and rhubarb flavors for a subtle twist. Luxurious aroma and brisk, vivid flavor. Smooth like the blues. This brew was made in collaboration with the fine folks at Fermly Craft Beer Laboratory, who are a fantastic resource for all your analysis needs. We hope you dig it as much as we did making it. Cheers!
RFA • Grandissant - Flor
Farmhouse Ale - Saison • Santa Fe, NM • 7.5% ABV • 20.0 IBUGrandissant is the "big brother" to our mid-level gravity mixed fermentation saison base, Sanctuario. It starts with a grain bill of Weyermann pilsner malt, raw Sonoran white wheat, a bit of Weyermann Munich malt, and some flaked oats. We ferment it with our house mixed culture, then age it gracefully in French oak Chardonnay barriques for a minimum of 16 months. This specific blend was aged for 40 months, but was dosed with a pitch of flor yeast, which are indigenous yeasts found in the region of Andalucía in southern Spain, and are typically used in Spanish and Portuguese winemaking. We finish the beer by bottling with local wildflower honey and allow to naturally condition. Cheers!
RFA • If You Must - Tablas Creek
Berliner - Mourvèdre Must • Santa Fe, NM • 5.5% ABV • 5.0 IBUIf You Must is a live lactobacillus Berlin-style weissbier that we brewed with raw Sonoran white wheat, then aged in Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc barriques on fresh Mourvèdre must for an extended period of time. The resulting oenobeer is has subtle notes of grape skin tannins, oak-derived vanillan, a refreshing tartness, and a dry crisp finish. Special thanks to Tablas Creek Winery for working with us on this special project! We hope you like this as much as we did making it. Cheers!
RFA • Mountain of Light - Passion Fruit
Sour - Fruited Gose • Santa Fe, NM • 4.7% ABV • 5.0 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 added a bunch of passionfruit. This is a super limited batch and was bottled in 750's because of its' limited nature. Sharing is caring! 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
