Santa Fe Brewing’s new ABQ taproom begins to take shape
Back on Friday I was planning on charging down to the “crane-lifting ceremony” at Green Jeans Farmery, the site near Carlisle and I-40 that will host the first Santa Fe Brewing taproom in Albuquerque. Of course, whenever you have an hour to get from work to anywhere else, there will inevitably be delays. I pretty…

Greetings, New Mexico craft beer lovers. Stoutmeister here with the reunified edition of The Week Ahead in Beer.

Beer Notes: Rejoice, all the brewery bills have been signed
Late last night the Crew was informed by the NM Brewers Guild that Governor Susana Martinez has signed all three of the major bills that affect our breweries. Well, that is just one giant relief. After all, we had spent the better part of two weeks singing the praises of these bills and yet none…

La Cumbre, Nexus and Tractor are all pleased with this year’s legislative session
The potential positive fallout from the New Mexico State Legislature passing multiple bills to help the craft brewing industry continues to be anticipated across Albuquerque. I was recently able to talk to some of the brewery owners to get their take on what those bills, once they are (hopefully) signed by Governor Susanna Martinez, will…
Tractor’s terrific trio keeps the beer farm in proper working order
Back when the Crew decided to do a series on women in craft brewing, Tractor seemed like one of the more obvious places for us to contact. The only real question is how many staff members would there be for us to interview. The final answer was three, but admittedly it could have been an…

Bosque excited for future after brewing bills pass through NM Legislature
Bosque Brewing director of operations Gabe Jensen invited me over to his office, located just a few doors down from the brewery and taproom on San Mateo, to chat about just what all those new bills passing through the state legislature means for his business. “I’m not sure yet, so I called you all the…
Following up on the brewery bills at the legislature
Greetings, all, hope you had fun on this past sunny weekend. It was a fun time, wasn’t it? I mean, aside from that whole rain of 3-point death by Wisconsin against my Arizona Wildcats (curse you, cheeseheads!), I think just about everyone I know had a pretty good couple of days. Of course good days…
