Fête de la Funk returns for a third serving of it’s sour and funky beer festival
The very best thing about beer is that it doesn’t just come in a few flavor profiles or a handful of styles. Beer, as you know, is as diverse as a Disney cast in 2026.

Keeping Together officially joins Santa Fe beer scene with grand opening
No one said opening a brewery was easy, in fact, they will probably tell you not to do it. They’d say it’s crazy opening a brewery, especially now. But, for the owners of Keeping Together, not opening was not an option. They were going to make it happen regardless of what they had to sacrifice…

Stepping into the clean and serene…

In 2022, Keeping Together’s Averie Swanson and Pat Fahey had just decided that the town they wanted to set down roots in and build their new brewery would be Santa Fe, New Mexico.

New brewery to make its way to Santa Fe despite major hurdles (Part 1 of 3)
Much of the time when we cover a story, it’s celebrating the happy times like a major achievement of a brewery — winning the IPA Challenge, bringing home a medal from GABF, or opening a new taproom. Sometimes we cover the tougher stories, too, the closing of a business, or the loss of someone dear…
