Our first stop on our bike and brew tour was the 2nd Street Brewery (www.secondstreetbrewery.com) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, recommended to us by Frankie at Frankie Flats bike shop. It has a nice laid-back atmosphere and the Hot Club of Santa Fe was playing upbeat bluegrass music in the background. I stuck to the ESB Extra Special Bitter, a "caramel/nutty beer with a fruity profile," I found it to be a smooth, mellow and overall tasty beer. Dan had an IPA, Cream Stout and Rod's Bitter Ale. They were all fairly tasty: the IPA was mellow with a hoppy aftertaste, the cream stout was fine and thick but easily digestible and the Bitter was also good, but Dan can't really remember anything about it. Maybe three beers was one too many ~ they also happily filled our growler with the ESB and it's chilling in our cooler right now waiting to be drank on a hot day after a long bike ride. Also, the food was very good, we split the mussels, nachos, and "christmas" enchiladas. All were very yummy, but was maybe a little too much for two people, the servings were big and we walked away very stuffed.
