“You’ve already killed two rattlesnakes. You’re hot and dusty from wrangling steers. Where do you go? Bow & Arrow Brewing Co., Albuquerque’s masters of IPAs and sours.
In Bow & Arrow Brewing Co., founders Shyla Sheppard and her wife, Missy Begay, have created something special. And that is, an authentic brewery that speaks to a specific place and time. Native and woman-owned, the ultra-modern Bow & Arrow Brewing Co. takes cues from the surrounding region to create a distinctly Southwestern drinking experience, from the furnishings in the taproom to the beers inspired by indigenous ingredients. May we suggest Bolos and Bling, an IPA with Brettanomyces, or Desert Revival, a golden sour brewed with local cherries? Stay sour and you can’t go wrong.”

Craftbeer.com: What's In A Beer Name?
There’s so much that goes into making a craft beer. Brewers make decisions about everything from hops to yeast to malt. Then there’s another important decision: What is its name? A beer name can do much more than simply convince you to try the beer. A beer name can make you laugh, scratch your head or even ponder your place in the universe. We asked craft brewers to tell us the stories behind these strange beer names.
