Beer Week just keeps on keeping on, rolling into Tuesday with four events on tap. That might not seem like a lot, but they all have the potential to be awesome, and there are always the ongoing Lips of Faith/Tapas pairings at Geckos and Hot Sunner Nights at Desert Fish for those who have not…
ABQ Beer Week: Dining with the Lips of Faith at Geckos
Stoutmeister here. We still have to create a log-in for Derek (that’s your new homework assignment, Shilling!), so until then I’ll just be presenting his stories like this.

ABQ Beer Week: Beer 101 in review
Good morning, one and all, Stoutmeister here with a quick recap of Thursday night’s Beer 101 at Marble. First off, I GOT TO TRY THE 505-FIVE BEFORE (almost) EVERYONE ELSE! WOOOO-HOOOO!!!! Ahem, anyway, this year’s collaboration beer by ABQ’s Big Five (Chama River, Il Vicino, La Cumbre, Marble, and Nexus) is considered an Imperial IPA….
