Rapidly expanding Bosque leases building in RR for HQ offices, training, warehouse

Bosque Brewing Co., an Albuquerqu­e-based company that has grown rapidly in recent years, said Friday it has cut a deal to move its headquarte­rs to Rio Rancho.

The company said in a news release it will lease a 24,000-square-foot building at 7701 Innovation Way at the north end of Rio Rancho. Plans call for the business to occupy the space on June 30. The move will allow Bosque more room to expand, said a company official.

The Rio Rancho location, formerly occupied by Stolar Research Corp., will provide office space for administra­tive staff, employee training activities and 8,000 square feet of warehouse space.

“Innovation Way will allow our leadership and administra­tive teams the ability to collaborat­e and grow as individual­s and as an organizati­on,” said Nick Seid, Bosque’s marketing manager, in a prepared statement.

Bosque has experience­d rapid growth since its start by Gabe Jensen, Jared Michnovicz, John Bullard, Jotham Michnovicz and Kevin Jameson in October 2012. The craft brewing company distribute­s to 1,000 accounts throughout the state and exports to Chile.

Bosque operates two taprooms and breweries in Albuquerqu­e and two taprooms in Las Cruces, and it’s looking at opening a taproom at the former site of Jackalope in Bernalillo.

Also in the works for 2018 are plans to open Restoratio­n Pizza by Bosque Brewing Co. in the Journal Center near Cabela’s, and replacing Bosque’s San Mateo location with a new space at the corner of Venice Avenue and Pan American Freeway.
