Bathtub Row Brewing has a busy week ahead culminating in Skiesta

As usual, things are busy with Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos. The big one is Skiesta, which will be held this Saturday.  If you’re into skiing and beer (and I bet a healthy percentage of you reading this are), this is an event not to be missed.  It’s getting awfully warm out there, so who…

Another craft beer find — “Way up North” edition

The Brew Crew recently received word that there is Yet Another New Brewery out there. We take for granted that there will be a new one every week in Albuquerque (and are very happy about it), but this one is about a stone’s throw from being in the middle of nowhere. If you’re going to Ojo Caliente’s…

Hiking and Beer: Two great things that go perfectly together

New Mexico is full of people who love to hike. It’s also full of people who love good beer. In my experience, there’s quite a bit of overlap between those two groups. Who doesn’t enjoy a good beer or two after hiking 14 miles? OK, you can still have a beer or two after hiking…

Though the place has been open for months now, they’ve had to supplement their own limited number of brews with those from nearby breweries, including Santa Fe Brewing and Bosque…

Los Alamos: Where science and beer go hand in hand

You probably all know that Los Alamos is that place up in the mountains where a bunch of science-y things happen. Well, it’s not just about bombs and research into turning people into The Hulk. To educate and excite people about science, several organizations, including Los Alamos National Laboratory, are hosting Sciencefest, a week-long celebration…

Winter could be over … head to the mountains for beer!

Bathtub Row Brewing: Meet the staff and plan for the grand opening

Greetings, gang! As you all should know by now, Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos had a “soft” opening several weeks ago.
