This was one of the best brewpub signs ever, but when Rio Bravo Brewing in Albuquerque closed1 in 1997 apparently nobody saved the neon.
Now a new Rio Bravo Brewing is ready to open, although not in the original spot (appropriately, considering the neon, on old Route 66). And not with the same sign.

1 Alvarado didn’t last a year.
That sign must have cost a pretty penny too. Too bad it is lost to time. We need more neon.
