Greetings, New Mexico craft beer lovers. Stoutmeister here with The Week Ahead in Beer. This column covers all the breweries in Bernalillo and Sandoval counties, with Santa Fe’s six breweries, one in Los Alamos, and one in Moriarty also joining the party.

For those not on Facebook, which is I believe a term we’ve used before, Tractor is throwing the Crew a sixth anniversary party tonight (Wednesday) from 7 to 10 at Wells Park. The band Apollo will be playing (it’s not a metal band, for those who nearly went deaf during our fifth anniversary when we had the masterful tunes of The Extinction and Jagged Mouth shattering the walls). We will also have an archived batch of our Baltic porter collaboration, Vulgar Display of Porter, on tap. In addition, I have a few copies of my book, Albuquerque Beer: Duke City History on Tap, available to sign and sell for $20, plus we have a few remaining Crew supporter T-shirts for $10. There will also be a live Q&A between us and any of you who choose to show up with inquiries about the NM craft beer scene on your minds. If you cannot make it tonight, join us Thursday at Canteen Brewhouse for the release of Obey the Darkside Stout on nitro. The last time we brewed this black beast of ahh was at Chama River, so head brewer Zach Guilmette has brought it back to life. And, of course, this Sunday marks our seventh annual Stout Challenge, where we do a blind taste test of all the house stouts from breweries around the metro area, which we will preview in full Friday and reveal the results Monday. Basically, it’s gonna be a dark, dark week, and not just because the stupid Patriots are probably gonna win another Super Bowl.

Two other notable happenings we would like to share are the first bottle release at The 377 and the Super Bowl party that can’t be called a Super Bowl party at Steel Bender. For the former, stop by this Saturday to purchase a bottle of Bourbon Barrel-Aged Milk Stout re-fermented on dark cherries. There will be a limited supply. An even more limited run of just 35 bottles of the BBA Schwartzbier with coffee, vanilla, and cocoa will also be available. As for Steel Bender, they can’t call their party a Super Bowl party due to the name being trademarked, but make no mistake, it is all about trying to squeeze some fun out of what looks like a potentially lopsided game (and yes, I know the Pats’ past wins have all been close, but let’s get real, the Eagles don’t have much of a chance and I’m rooting for them). There will be mug club benefits for all customers all day, including 10-percent off keg and growler fills. There will also be 10-percent off appetizers, including some new items made just for game day, and special giveaways ever quarter of the game. Steel Bender will also have a hoppy flight of Skull Bucket IPA, Skull Crusher DIPA, Red Iron Red, and Manana Tropical IPA (back on tap this Thursday). People will then vote on their favorite beer of the flight, and that beer will then be $1 off on Monday. Got all that? For more, check the Facebook event page.

On the new beer front this week, there are a few options to check out. Canteen also has Oatmeal Stout and Munich Dunkel on tap, while Panama Jose fans need to hurry as it will be gone Thursday. La Cumbre gets stouty as well with Chew and Swallow Oatmeal Stout, plus Einbeck Two Step is available. Marble has different new beers at each location, with Citra IPA and Doppelator downtown, Nitro Negra at Westside, and Galactic DIPA at Heights, so plan visits to all three this week (just probably not on the same day, that’s a lot of driving). Ponderosa hops to it with Saphir Single-Hop Pale Ale. Starr Brothers brings back Foggy Monocle just in time to defend its title at our Stout Challenge.

Up in Santa Fe, Blue Corn laughs it up with Witty Hop Pun IPA. Second Street has fresh batches of 2920 IPA, Summer Rain Sour, Chinook Pale Ale, and International Style Steam.

Continue reading for all the news that is fit to blog for the week of January 29.
