ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Boxing Bear Brewing Co. is in negotiations to lease a space at the 125,000-square foot Snow Heights Promenade, a planned development at Eubank and Menaul.

Boxing Bear has one Albuquerque location at Alameda Boulevard and Corrales Road.

The Promenade is being developed by The Sapir Development Group and leased by Glenn Wright of SVN/Walt Arnold Commercial Brokerage.

Boxing Bear wants to open a taproom with both rooftop and ground floor patios, according to Justin Hamilton, co-owner of the local brewery. “The way the city works, its hard to get people to cross the river,” said Hamilton. “This is just a way for us to get our products out to the rest of the city.”

Hamilton said he hopes to sign a lease soon and open sometime early next year.

Wright previously said the $45 million Snow Heights Promenade development will break ground in September.
