Blue Heron Brewing Co.

On the Low Road to Taos just a five-minute drive from the center of Dixon, New Mexico's oldest woman-owned brewery dispenses not only nicely crafted ales—the crisp Rinconada Raspberry Rye and malty La Llorona Scottish Ale are great choices—but also tasty pizzas, salads, and desserts. Have a seat in the art-filled dining room, where you can also taste wine from the nearby La Chiripada Winery, or out on the cottonwood-shaded patio. There's a second location in Española.
