About Us

Bow & Arrow Brewing Co., based in the heart of the American Southwest, was founded by two Mandan, Hidatsa and Navajo women in 2016. We believe in the strength of range and are ambitious in producing a breadth of styles, including IPAs, Saisons, Pilsners, Stouts, Mixed Culture and often source ingredients uniquely indigenous to our surrounding high desert mountains, mesas and special places. 

Our love of the land is reflected in the ingredients we source, the rad beer we brew and ferment and the values we share. Respecting the land and people, sharing our culture through ingredients, design and stories, while delivering a world-class beer experience is our focus.

The Albuquerque location houses our brewery, canning line and flagship beer hall where we brew on a 15-bbl system and manage our clean beer, wild and sour foeder and barrel projects. We also opened Rambler, our first satellite taproom in the Four Corners (Farmington, NM) last Summer.
