Halloween happenings and early closings at local breweries

Get spooky with your pints tonight. (Photo courtesy of Tractor Brewing)

Normally when Halloween falls in the middle of the week, it is treated as a holiday just for the kids. After all, the grown-ups got all their partying out of the way this past weekend. Right?

Well, not necessarily, as some breweries do have some small events and specials tonight. Others are closing early (or closing all together). We realized that to help you with your evening plans, it might help to sum up all that available information in one place, so here we go.

Hops Brewery is closed for the day. La Reforma closes early at 4 p.m. Boxing Bear’s Corrales taproom is closed for a private event, while the other three taprooms will have last call at 7:30 p.m. and close by 8. Kaktus is open from 2 to 6:30, with a special where if you buy one pizza, you get a second one.

We checked the Santa Fe area, where it all appears to be business as usual, with no special hours or events listed.

Here are the special events going on at breweries in the metro area. Please let us know of anything that we have missed and we will add it ASAP.
