ABQ Beer Week: A mellow Monday helps everyone reset on Day Five
Well, here is hoping everyone survived ABQ Blues & Brews, or the Nexus anniversary party, or possibly even both on Sunday.

ABQ Beer Week: Let the brews chase away the blues on a windy Day Four

ABQ Beer Week: Seeking the truth without consequences on Day Two
After a busy opening day, Beer Week mellows out a bit with just three events today (Friday). Considering how busy holiday weekends tend to be, that is just fine with us. At least one or more of us will be hanging out with the owners of a certain out-of-town brewery who will be here for…

Tractor Brewing sticks with tradition and goes all-in for ABQ Beer Week
When the 2022 edition of ABQ Beer Week was formally announced, it came as no surprise that Tractor Brewing would again be hosting a significant number of events. It was the same thing in the years before the pandemic postponed the annual celebration of craft beer, and Tractor marketing director Jeremy Kinter said it was…

Train of Foams: Hop on the Ale Trail locomotive in Santa Fe
There’s something new to do in Santa Fe. Santa Fe resident George R.R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame (along with some other investors), purchased and restored a historic railroad. There are multiple themed trains to choose from each month, including, but not limited to, stargazing, cocktails, brunch, and the one I took last weekend…
