Breweries in New Mexico produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally and regionally.
Brewing companies vary widely in the volume and variety of beer produced, from small nanobreweries and microbreweries to massive multinational conglomerate macrobreweries.
In 2012 New Mexico's 35 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 90 people directly, and more than 6,400 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing.
[1] Consumer purchases of New Mexico's brewery products generated more than $69 million extra in tax revenue.
