A while back, Marble Brewery had a series of posts in which they stated their desire to be seen as a true hub of all things local. To further that point, they began teaming up with local nonprofit Warehouse 505, and this Saturday will mark a major point in that relationship. Marble is hosting 111 for 505 at the downtown taproom, serving as a fundraiser and showcase for all of the young artists who benefit from Warehouse 505. Marble will bring together the student musicians alongside DJs Flo Fader and Luminous, who both share ties to the nonprofit — Flo Fader is one of the instructors and Luminous is a graduate of the program. There will also be live screen printing, food trucks, and more ways to contribute to this worthy cause. Everything runs from noon until closing, so head on down, grab a pint of 111 IPA, and enjoy being able to someday tell people that you saw that now-famous local band back when they got their start.

New Draft:

Boxing Bear tapped Groove is in the Tart, a new fruited sour. Painted Lady and Sidetrack will release their collaboration, Albucreepy, a Czech dark lager, this Friday. Thirsty Eye brought back a fan favorite, Dude? Dude. Dude!, a hazy double IPA.

Up in Los Alamos, Bathtub Row tapped Runoff Cold IPA.

New Package:

Bow & Arrow had a double drop this week, starting with Hello Darlin’, the latest in their Native Star series of hazy IPAs, and then the new Dusty Hefeweizen, with both now available in cans and on draft. Canteen brought back old favorite Sundance Kolsch in cans and on draft. Marble released Cerveza Lime in cans and on draft, and we think the name is pretty self explanatory.
