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.

Technically, summer doesn’t officially start until June 20, but it has sure felt like summer with the recent heat (Tuesday’s momentary dip being the exception). While this summer may not look like any we’ve had in recent history, we can still enjoy the beers of summer locally. Steel Bender is kicking things off with Lloyd’s Summer Vacation, a new summertime ale brewed with Lemondrop hops. It arrives on tap for crowler/growler fills and in 12-ounce six-pack cans this Thursday. Steel Bender is also increasing its food menu, and with ads up that it is hiring front-of-house and kitchen staff in preparation for joining all the breweries that have been able to reopen to 50-percent capacity. These are all good signs that another of our favorite places will have dine-in and patio service sooner than later. We are holding out hope that rumors of all breweries being able to reopen will come later this week or early next week. In the meantime, keep supporting all of your favorite places, in person or by taking beer and/or food to go. We can all get through this together.
On the new beer front this week, there aren’t many new options to check out, which usually means a big surge is coming next week. For now, La Cumbre tapped Odd Ball Experimental IPA for growler fills, while Nexus put the delectable Lush & Aphotic Russian Imperial Stout back on tap. (UPDATE) Ex Novo swears this time that Saul Fruitman, a hazy IPA infused with mango and pineapple, will debut in cans and on tap for crowler/growler fills this Thursday.
Up in Santa Fe, Beer Creek rolls out the All New Mexican Amber, their second beer made entirely with ingredients entirely from our state. (UPDATE) Second Street tapped A.F. Anejo, a tequila-barrel-aged pilsner. Tumbleroot has Cashmere Pale Ale and Old School IPA available for crowler fills, plus a slew of new bottles including Blackberry Sour, Dry Hopped Imperial Red, Agave Barrel-Aged SMASH Barleywine, and three imperial stouts — Agave BA Molé Stout, Whisky BA Vanilla Stout, and Russian Imperial Stout. Further north, Red River Brewing has tapped Raspberry Fruity Sour Ale.
Breweries, if there is anything not in here that you would like the public to know about, get in touch with us ASAP. We can continuously update this post as needed.
Continue reading for all the news that is fit to blog for the week of June 8.
To break down each “capsule,” I listed the brewery (with Web page linked), its phone number and hours of operation. Instead of “Beers” being an all-encompassing list of seasonal/specialty offerings, we are now splitting everything into “Growler/Crowler Fills” for beers on draft, and “Can/Bottle” for pre-packaged beers. All beers listed are subject to change.
