Looking for a patio dining experience where you can enjoy a hoppy, ice-cold drink with friends and your four-legged buddy? Try a visit to Kaktus Brewing Company, located in Bernalillo, New Mexico.
Tucked away behind trees, Kaktus Brewing Company has a rustic, artsy feel.
Not a particular fan of hoppy ales or a malty stout? The brewery also crafts a variety of ciders and kombucha, a fermented tea drink with a tiny alcohol percentage.

Aside from their brews, one of the menu highlights are the hot dogs.
You won't find just typical all-beef sausages here; options include wild boar and an elk cheddar sausage with jalapeño. One of our favorites is their version of the chili dog, which features an all-beef hot dog with a savory and slightly spicy house-made bison chili.

Or you can opt for a build-your-own dog, adding toppings like green chile, sauerkraut, cheese, or house-made curry ketchup.
The brewery also serves salads, Frito pies, and a dozen different pizzas with creative topping combinations. Ingredients include local favorites and game meats, such as wild boar sausage, pine nuts, and, of course, green chile.
