On a recent day trip to Santa Fe we were looking (like we always do) for a local brewery. It's kinda my thing. The wife found Chili Line and *whoosh* off we went. Chili Line is a small place, but very cozy. It occupies an unassuming spot along the road right next door to Lino's Trattoria & Pizzeria. We were just there for the beer so we sat in the bar. It's tiny, with only two tables, and a few stools at the bar. Jessica was our server so she directed us to the online beer menu. I ordered a flight of 4 beer (with the help of Congo), and they were all REALLY good. One of the things I absolutely LOVED about Chili Line was that smoked beers. I love a good smoked beer, be it an ale, stout, or lager. There's something about a smoke brew that is unique and makes it stand out from other beer. Chili Line is a CLEAR standout when it comes to smoked brews, and definitely The Best I've had. Jessica was awesome. She didn't mind engaging in conversation and helping us make beer choices. We also swapped a few tattoo stories (which is awesome) and helped me decide which merchandise to purchase. It was a short visit (maybe an hour), but it was great. Chili Line is a very cozy, relaxed place. Some breweries go for the hype, but not here. Just a quiet place to hang out and drink some excellent smoked brews. I'll be back. You've been warned.
4 stars strictly for the service; 3 stars for the beer. The staff was extremely friendly, and the servers knowledgeable. I didn't try the food, but we tried a flight of all their beers and I only liked a couple. They are a micro brewery so they aren't pumping out large amounts. Their pale was okay, and they had one similar to a Heff. Everything else was just not to my personal liking. A cool spot to check out wish I would have tried the food.
Everything was great-bartender Chris (he was also the waiter and bus boy), food, ambiance, beer and music. We were able to get food from the place next door-not often you get gourmet Italian food at a brewery with great beers. We had the spaghetti and meatballs (had spinach a little spice-yum), Sinatra-light cream sauce with asparagus and mushrooms, yummy pizza. Great sour/natural ferment brown, bourbon barrel aged beer (had a nice sweet note) and a stout which was a little Smokey. Highly recommend-check it out.
We decided to go here based on he yelp reviews and the Brewee app reviews. I would suggest that you put this place on your list of must go places even if you are not a beer drinker. The atmosphere is quintessential Santa Fe. Chris was our expert at the bar. I had a flight of their beers that were overall the best group of beers I have had in 7 weeks out west. Their west coast IPA was excellent and do your self a favor and try both the red and green chili ales! The red definitely gets my vote. My wife had the stout and it was superb! The biggest bonus was the food. We started with the calamari appetizer and it was so tender and lightly breaded in a sauce that just enhanced the flavor. Definitely recommended. Then we each had a pasta dish, I had the Frank Sinatra and my wife had the Sophia Loren. And the topping was the jazz trio to finish the night. Oh so good. Rich and creamy both!! The food and the beer will not disappoint and if you are lucky enough to have Chris serve you tell him Brad and Ronna sent you.
Sarah was absolutely awesome! We're from out of town and she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We did the flight of beers; the paddle comes with (4) but you can get as much as you'd like. They were 2.50 or 3.00 each depending on which you got. Our favorite out of these was the honey! It was so good I thought it was JUICE. After trying the beers we decided to go ahead and get the wings. They're bone in mango habanero and we're the absolute best mango habaneros I have ever had. A perfect blend of sweet and spicy. If you're visiting Santa he, TRY A FLIGHT OF BEERS HERE!
Great service and attention by Jessica and JD! My mom and I were only in town a handful of days, but we kept coming back to Chili Line because it felt like 'home.'
Took my dog-o here. They have an outdoor patio which is nice. I ordered the pizza with pepperoni and green xhili. It was delicious. They also had a June cider which was hibiscus. Wow. Absolutely delicious. Check it out.
I'm not a beer person so I got their signature cocktail - el Diablo. It has chocolate liquor in it that's all I can remember but my dog's nickname is Diablo that's why I ordered it. Very very good. Bartender was so friendly and helpful. Live music was 5 star as well!
Chili Line Brewing is a chill spot, great atmosphere, friendly staff and good pizza. We had the Burrata Pizza. San Marzano tomato sauce, organic mozzarella, Burrata Cheese, diced tomato, porcini mushrooms, and basil, we did add prosciutto. I had the Mentriosa, lager dry hopped with pecan smoked hops...fantastic! My husband had an IPA and enjoyed it.
The chili beers would have been much better if they weren't flat. The server/host was either new or very inexperienced with the bar, because the pours for the other party there at the same time as us were also looking a bit rough and it took him about 40 minutes to switch out the keg. The fried shishito peppers were great and a huge portion (as expected for $12 for fried peppers). We're a fan of sour beers, and their raspberry and guava sours were very interesting. They had an almost fermented taste to them? The patio out front is dog-friendly. Inside is a bit small but they had live music setting up in there while we were leaving. It looked like they had a really pretty back patio, but it isn't dog friendly. Overall, beer and service were just okay.
Once again Yelp reviewers have given us a great meal experience. I am usually not a beer drinker, so I let the server chose. It was delicious!! We split the Caprese Salad, the Insalda Mista and the Chili Line Pizza. The salads were plentiful and very fresh. The Pizza (green chillies, pepperoni and smoked mozzarella) was awesome.

Change is good!! Smoking the hops in your beer is very good!! If you steal my idea, you owe Alexander a royalty!! The staff is 5 stars and full of personality! The sours and ambers are legit! The fermented green tea and hibiscus is super light and so refreshing! Beer pretzel is on point, quit thinking about it, get it! When you have a great marketing idea, it's one thing! When you have the chops to make the beer to back it up... now you REALLY got something! Have you ever sniffed a beer that smelled like brisket, and realized beer has been letting you down? Now you know better! Get in here! 5 stars for the best hidden gem! #ShopLocal read more

One of our favorite places (actually our favorite place) to visit in Santa Fe. Love the patio, especially during COVID. The staff made us feel very safe with their COVID protocols and even took our temperature. We usually try different beer flights, but they also have wine and champagne if you are tired of beer. However, it's always fun to try the different types of beer that Chili Line has to offer. We also enjoy ordering pizza here. Perfect combo of pizza and beer to hang out by yourself, with a buddy, or a small group. Will definitely be back. read more

Chili Line Brewing sounds like an amazing intriguing brewery. And it was awesome! Smoked beer really adds a depth of flavor to some of the beers. And our waitress was the most friendly personable waitress ever! The beer is brewed in house, the smokiness from the malted barley being dried over open flames. All of the beers were smoked. This brewery lets you order 4oz tasters, half pints, pints or growlers. We got tasters of all the beers plus the speciality. That includes the Llorona, PG IPA, Jacona (stout), El Jefe, Star baba, La bandito, and Antonito bandito. My favorites were the star baba (oak smoked wheat beer) and the El jefe (beechwood smoked hefewiezen). The star baba had a smoky semi sweet taste that was brightened by the fresh lemon juice. The El jefe had this oaky smooth taste to the beer. It was complex and beautiful. Our waitress was so friendly and personal. She anticipated our needs (more bread, more food, do we want more beer). She also was quick to clear our plates and offer us waters. And she was genuinely so nice. I loved this beer and our waitress! read more

Amazing one of a kind experience in Santa Fe! If u left the city not having tried this place u might have just missed an experience. Their beer is intriguing and amazing. The beer is great and so is the staff. The guy has been on his toes and I have been here for a couple hours. It's a no frill bar. Stop by ur mid day lul or after dinner pint. It's delicious. They also let u try almost all the beer if u want. I prob tried 80% they pouring ***guilty*** read more

Stop reusing beer glasses without sanitizing them and holding them against the tap (against health code). I was really excited to check this place out but sadly, it was a bit disappointing. There was only two people working and they were extremely scattered. The man who was taking orders was huffing and puffing the whole time, acting extremely annoyed. The food is the only reason there are 2 stars. read more

I stopped by here this past Friday night with my wife for some drinks. We were in Old Town Sante Fe for the evening whenever I consulted Yelp for a brewery. Only .4 miles away was Chili Line Brewing and so we headed over. Upon entering the restaurant we immediately headed to the bar area and took a seat at a high top table. There wasn't too much decoration in and around the bar other than a whiteboard with some of their beers on it and then a bunch of branded merchandise. Right after we sat down the gentlemen working at the bar came over to tell us about Chili Line Brewery. What sets it apart from other breweries is that all of the beers here are smoked. Yep that means everything from their chile beers to their sours and even the IPAs are smoked. He told me how many breweries in the US are the same way and it was a really small number but I forgot the exact number. Overall he was super nice to us and really made us feel welcome. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I went with a flight here. At Chili Line Brewing that consists of 4 - 4 oz pours. For my beers on this day I went with Que Picante (Red Chile), Como Pica (green chile), Cherry Poppin (smoked sour) and Pinche Guey (West Coast IPA). Normally I wouldn't order the chile beers as I have had too many that set my mouth on fire. However I figured that I wouldn't have the chance to get these beers again and went against my better judgement. Thankfully it worked out for me as both of the beers were really good! I would actually call them the best chile beers I have ever had. You could taste both the beer and a chili flavor in each of them and while they had a kick to them, it was a low heat that was enjoyable and didn't leave me looking for water. My other two beers were nice as well. The sour had a nice smoked cherry flavor which both my wife and I loved while the IPA brought the juiciness along with a touch of smoke. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. All of the beers that I had here were good and the gentlemen working the bar was super nice as well. read more

Long time since I liked all the beers - even the amber that doesn't show. A+ for the brewer. read more

Are you kidding me??? Two pizzas with burnt crust and a doughy middle - terrible. And two Caesar salads without forks or napkins. As Santa Fe visitors our delivery order was awful. And there is no way to talk to anyone ... grrrrr! I'm calling my credit card to deny the charge. read more
