History
The inception of Bosque Brewing was driven by co-founders Gabe Jensen, Jotham Michnovicz, and Kevin Jameson, who aimed to produce premium beers while fostering local economic growth. Recipe development commenced in 2010, brewing activities began in 2012, and their initial taproom in Albuquerque opened its doors in October 2012, offering six permanent house styles alongside a selection of rotating specialty brews.
After celebrating its first year, Bosque experienced significant expansion, increasing both its facilities and workforce. In March 2014, John Bullard was appointed Brewmaster and Director of Brewing Operations, contributing to recipe refinement and broadening the beer assortment. The company inaugurated a second taproom near New Mexico State University in Las Cruces in November 2014, followed by a third site opening in December 2014 close to the Nob Hill Business District and the University of New Mexico vicinity. Distribution extended to more than 150 restaurants and retail locations across New Mexico.
In October 2025, Bosque Brewing sought protection under Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to escalating debts and financial obligations.
