I'd be happy to. We actually have a lot of good local beer here, despite not having the best commercial beer selection. I could probably get you some tours of the brew houses as well.
Santa Fe has a couple nice places if you end up going there too. There's Blue Corn, Santa Fe Brewing Co, and 2nd Street. Marble and Il Vicino also have locations up there.
I also brew occasionally for Hallenbrick (small taproom with mostly guest beers) so if I happen to have a beer on tap we could check that place out. The owners there are a lot of fun.
Oh I forgot another one... ABQ Brewpub, just opened near ABQ Uptown (Louisiana & i40). All their beers are from Sierra Blanca but they have a 1bbl brewhouse and we should be brewing on it soon once the permits all go through. I believe myself and 1 other homebrewer will be brewing most of the batches on this system.
