The Rio Chama is one of America\u2019s treasured wilderness rivers. This pristine desert river canyon is a true treasure of the southwest and we are extremely lucky to have it so close to home. The Rio Chama is best known for its towering desert canyon walls, fun Class II\/III rapids, amazing riverside camps, and plentiful wildlife. It is the perfect river trip and the perfect place to enjoy Upslope\u2019s acclaimed brews. You\u2019ll spend your days running the Rio Chama\u2019s rapids, enjoying the gorgeous views, and spotting the plentiful wildlife as well as plenty of stops for hiking and exploring the many side canyons and vistas along the river. Each afternoon, you\u2019ll arrive at your riverside campsite with plenty of time to relax, hike, read and sample some of SFBC&#8217;s flagship and new and exciting brews and hard seltzers while your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicoriveradventures.com\/\">NMRA<\/a> guides prepare a special menu to compliment the days carefully chosen beer selections.<\/p>\n<p>Way back before there was such a thing as \u201ccraft beer\u201d there was craft beer. In New Mexico of all places. It was then, in 1988, that a cowboy named Mike Levis who had a passion for homebrewing and a desire for something better brewed the first batch of Santa Fe Pale Ale (still brewed today). Fast forward to 2003. Craft beer was growing and Santa Fe\u2019s reputation for making high quality, drinkable beers was spreading.\u00a0 In 2010, the technology to put beer in cans finally became accessible to small brewers, and we installed a small canning system. It was then that the first ice-cold Happy Camper IPA rolled down the line into Lock&#8217;s hand who said, &#8216;You can shotgun these.&#8217; And he did.\u00a0 The popularity of Happy Camper IPA (and the acceptance of craft beer in cans) propelled the brewery to new heights. Production increased, and soon, Santa Fe Brewing Company beers were being shipped all over the Southwest.<\/p>\n<p>Just like Santa Fe Brew&#8217;s approach to brewing and fun, New Mexico River Adventures works tirelessly to provide their guests with the highest quality river adventures in New Mexico and beyond.
