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 eight breweries, one in Los Alamos, one in Moriarty, one in Red River, one in Silver City, and one in Truth or Consequences also joining the party.

UPDATE: Yes, we know that Governor Lujan-Grisham has ordered all breweries, restaurants, and many more businesses to close starting Thursday, save for to-go orders. We are working on many new updates to this story, with more information coming in a separate post. The closure is through April 10, though it is of course subject to change.

Original post begins here.

By the time you read this, even if it is right after we hit publish, another brewery may have closed its doors. The new normal, if anything can be normal right now, is for breweries to close, hopefully temporarily, but potentially for good. So far, Boese Brothers, Bosque, Cantero, Casa Vieja, Differential, and Flix Brewhouse have all closed. Another nine breweries (and counting) have adjusted their hours. We do not know where this will end, because none of us have experienced anything like this entire situation with Covid-19. All we can do now is either stay home and isolate, or try to support the remaining places that are open. You can still visit them, though all are now down to 50-percent capacity/occupancy, or get your beer and/or food to go. Just about every place is no longer allowing customers to bring in their own growlers, so you will have to buy crowlers, new growlers, or packaged beers in cans or bottles. We are not telling anyone what to do here, just presenting options. Just remember, as breweries close, their employees lose not only their jobs, but their health insurance. Of course, if you are not feeling way, please stay home, or get tested ASAP.

All events are canceled at breweries, and for those that are listed below for today (Wednesday), you should probably call the brewery ahead of time to make sure they are still happening.

On the new beer front this week, there are only a scant few options to check out. Bombs Away recently unveiled S.A.F. POG Juice, a sour made with passion fruit, blood orange, and pink guava. La Cumbre will have the spring edition of Project Dank IPA on tap and in cans this Friday. Marble rolled out Irish Red, Eastside Special Bitter, and Brett Pale Ale. Sidetrack brings back Buzz Bomb today (Wednesday) before closing its doors Thursday. Tractor added Cherry Bombade Cherry Limeade Cider and Forbidden Staircase DIPA on Tuesday.

Up in Santa Fe, Chili Line went wild with the Blueberry Blackberry Raspberry Golden Ale. Second Street rolled out Moscade Red, a Mosaic- and Cascade-hopped red ale. Over in Los Alamos, Bathtub Row added a fresh batch of Cali Common and the seasonally appropriate Irish Red. Down south, Truth or Consequences tapped Foch Street Wheat.

Continue reading for all the news that is fit to blog for the week of March 16.
