Nuckolls Brewing Co.
|
|
Built as a meatpacking outpost for Nuckolls Packing Co. of Pueblo, Colorado, our original building was insulated with thick concrete walls covered with four inches of cork, creating a highly efficient refrigeration facility for the storage of Nuckolls’ meat products. Between its original use as a meat packing facility and its current life as a brewpub, the building housed a gamut of local enterprises, ranging from a publishing house to a local indie radio station.

Most notably, Nuckolls once served as the corporate headquarters for the Santa Fe Southern Railway. As the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad was being built through New Mexico in the late 1870’s, the railroad chose to bypass Santa Fe entirely due to its difficult terrain, and a stop was instead created in Lamy, a small village on the Galisteo River basin 18 miles from Santa Fe. The residents of Santa Fe rallied and raised the funds to build an 18-mile spur line from Lamy into the Santa Fe Railyard. In February 1880, rail travel finally arrived in Santa Fe. Rail tracks that allowed Nuckolls to easily receive deliveries led right to what is now our downstairs bar.
