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 • Black Dog IPA
IPA - Black / Cascadian Dark Ale • Santa Fe, NM • 7.3% ABV • 50.0 IBUHistorically speaking, black dogs are the hardest to adopt out at adoption events we host here at the brewery. We are fixing to change this, and so for this anniversary, we are bringing back John's award winning black IPA recipe, in collaboration with Espanola Humane, for our 8th anniversary. A portion of proceeds from this batch will go to Espanola Humane to support the good work that they do. Drink up for a good cause!
6 • Deschutes Brewery • Mirror Pond
Pale Ale - American • Bend, OR • 5.0% ABV • 40.0 IBUThe quintessential Northwest pale ale. Cascade hops and more Cascade hops give this tawny colored ale delicious hop-forward aroma and flavor. Pale malt allows the hops to linger, not overpower.
7 • Ex Novo Brewing • Perle Haggard
Pilsner - German • Corrales, NM • 5.1% ABV • 32.0 IBUTraditional German style Pilsner. Sweet bready malt, straw, notes of honey, floral, earthy, noble hoppy crisp finish, refreshing. 5.1%, 32 IBU

9 • 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.
10 • Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. • Narwhal Imperial Stout
Stout - Imperial / Double • Chico, CA • 10.2% ABV • 60.0 IBUNarwhal Imperial Stout is inspired by the mysterious creature that thrives in the deepest fathoms of the frigid Arctic Ocean. Featuring incredible depth of malt flavor, rich with notes of espresso, baker’s cocoa, roasted grain and a light hint of smoke, Narwhal is a massive malt-forward monster. Aggressive but refined with a velvety smooth body and decadent finish, Narwhal will age in the bottle for years to come.
11 • RFA • Hyside Stout
Stout - Oatmeal • Santa Fe, NM • 5.3% ABV • 25.0 IBUEvery year, we brew a batch of river beer for our good friends at Hyside Inflatables in Boulder. The style rotates every year, and we package 20 cases of cans for John and his crew to toss out to thirsty boaters on hot days on the river. For 2024, we brewed an easy drinking oatmeal stout, and man is it a tasty one. Give JJ a high five when you taste it, as it is a big win for her! If you're lucky enough to get tossed a can on the river, we salute you! For the rest of us, it's on draft at our tap room until it runs dry. Cheers, Hyside!
12 • RFA • Slow Ready for This
Sour - Fruited 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 8
IPA • Santa Fe, NM • 6.6% ABV • 52.0 IBUFor this episode, Agent Scully decided to KISS it (keep it simple, stupid!) and make a single hop Strata version. We told her the hop pairings usually stand out relative to a single hop, but she wasn't having any of that reality. You tell us, how did she do?
14 • Austin Eastciders • Original Dry Cider

16 • La Cumbre Brewing • Project Dank Earth Ed.
IPA - American • Albuquerque, NM • 7.5% ABV • 110.0 IBUMosaic, Meridian, and 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 • Marble Brewery • Desert Fog
IPA - New England • Albuquerque, NM • 7.2% ABV • 35.0 IBU“Dear Diary, She has a hazy glow resembling the beautiful accumulation of early morning fog kissed by the orange juice-hued southwestern desert sunrise and smells of pineapple-grapefruit juice perfume. With love, IPA”
19 • RFA • Festbier
Festbier • Santa Fe, NM • 5.3% ABV • 23.0 IBUFestbier for the rest of the beer. Prosit!

21 • Marble Brewery • Pumpkin Noir
Pumpkin / Yam Beer • Albuquerque, NM • 8.0% ABV • 0.0 IBUSome of us deliberately choose the burnt slice of pumpkin pie. Perhaps there's something about the blackness of carbonized sugars that speaks to us in a way that others will never understand.
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!
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 • 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 • Tea for Two
Farmhouse Ale - Saison • Santa Fe, NM • 5.5% ABV • 14.0 IBUTea for Two is a house mixed culture fermented saison that we brewed with continental 6-row spring barley, Sonoran white wheat, Belgian Aromatic and flaked oats. We bittered it lightly to 14 IBU's so that it might see a bit of tartness from our house mixed culture over time. Lastly, we dry-hopped it with a healthy dose of Indonesian Earl Grey tea obtained from our good friend, and tea specialist, Marshall Maez. Raise a pinky if you like. Cheers!
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!
