In this episode, we sit down with Jess Griego, Chief Operating Officer of Bosque Brewing, to explore what it takes to lead one of New Mexico’s most beloved craft breweries. As a COO, mother, and woman in a male-dominated industry, Jess shares her journey, the challenges of scaling a brewery, and how she balances leadership with family life.

We dive into the evolving role of women in craft beer, the importance of company culture, and how motherhood has shaped her leadership style. Jess also shares advice for women looking to break into the brewing industry, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and of course—her go-to Bosque beers.

Whether you're a craft beer lover, a working parent, or someone looking for leadership inspiration, this episode is packed with insight, authenticity, and a little bit of hops. Grab a drink and tune in!

It’s no secret that this motherhood journey is unique, and having people to turn to, talk to, and share experiences with can make all the difference in the world. If you’re new to the area, new to being a mom, or just want a way to connect with others close to where you live, join one of ABQ Mom’s groups.

The ABQ Mom Club is an online (private) Facebook group that allows moms to connect, ask questions (mommy or non-mommy related), discuss local happenings, and attend events like playdates and meet-ups.

We also have a very active book club and a fitness group.

For moms not on Facebook, there’s an email list to keep them up-to-date on all the event dates and locations.
