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 seven breweries, one in Los Alamos, one in Moriarty, and one in Red River also joining the party.

OK, remember when we said that Marble’s Stout Americano was the last packaged dark beer release of the year until fall? Well, happily, we were wrong, as this Saturday our friends at Red Door are releasing Mail Order Russian Imperial Stout. There will be 22-ounce bottles of this 9-percent ABV stout, aged in oak barrels, available at the brewery on Candelaria, with a smaller number for sale at the new Clovis taproom. All three Red Door locations will also have a non-barrel-aged version of the stout on tap. Sidedoor Kitchen will have breakfast ready for those brave souls who want to show up at 7 a.m. There will also be special T-shirts for sale. Just in case we don’t wake up early, please try not to buy up the supply before the mostly nocturnal Crew shambles on down there.

Another event that we wanted to highlight is Beer on Beer, a special beer dinner taking place at Tractor Wells Park on Saturday at 6 p.m. The event benefits Three Sisters Kitchen and costs $40 for a four-course meal where each of the dishes is made with a specific Tractor beer, and then served with a different, but still complementary, beer. First up is a cheese course made with Field Beer and paired with Acreage IPA, followed by a salad made with Berry Cider and paired with Pilsner 15, a lamb dish made with Scotcholate and paired with Farmer’s Tan Red Ale, and a chocolate dessert made with Luna de los Muertos Russian Imperial Stout paired with Milk Mustachio Stout. There are only 25 seats available, so go here to get tickets.

On the new beer front this week, there are a few options to check out. Bosque is rolling out beers from the minds of its non-brewing staff, starting with Brewer’s Bruises, a blueberry lavender gose. Canteen brings back Laid Back Lager on Thursday, just in time for baseball’s Opening Day (there will also be $1 hot dogs). Marble added Mavbear with brett, a collaboration with Boxing Bear, and From the Wood Saison. Nexus lands a fresh batch of Bird of Prey IPA. Ponderosa, at last, has Coco Puffs Baltic Porter on tap. Starr Brothers rolls out Altonymous, an altbier. Steel Bender brings back a summer favorite from last year, Schnitz N Giggle Dortmunder Lager, on Thursday and Bossy Guava Hazy IPA on Friday, the special collaboration for the New Mexico chapter of the Pink Boots Society. Toltec taps the NM Brewers Guild collaboration Gracias Greg, a Mexican lager.

Up in Santa Fe, things are quiet for the moment. Over in Los Alamos, Bathtub Row added Irish Export Stout on nitro.

Continue reading for all the news that is fit to blog for the week of March 25.
