HOLODECK HELLES PALE LAGER
After brewing the craft beer that helped make Albuquerque a destination for brew lovers, and after introducing New Mexican Soul Food, we didn’t stop there. Our second location, Nexus Blue Smokehouse, is for those that crave BBQ and those perfectly smoked meats. We opened Nexus Blue Smokehouse because we wanted to give diners the best barbeque in Albuquerque. We’ve spent countless hour perfecting this craft; we are masters at achieving blue smoke each and every time. We have every confidence in our ability to deliver Albuquerque barbeque that you’ll come back to time and time again.
This classic German-style beer is balanced, crisp, and refreshing. It features a smooth bready malt backbone with a subtle sweetness. It is complemented by gentle floral, light honey and a touch of spicy noble hops.
