So once upon a time I asked all of our writers, new and old, if they could please send me their picks for the best beers they had during ABQ Beer Week that were still available for purchase either on tap or in bottles/cans/bombers around the metro area. After waiting a long time for people…

Sister taps into Boulder and aims for bigger things in the future
Editor’s note: We just received one more story from our last Beer Week correspondent, Julie, who has been on the road and could not get this to us any sooner. (She is currently in Flagstaff learning good things about Mother Road.) But since it contains info beyond just the event itself, it seemed prudent to…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: That’s a wrap in photos
Greetings, everyone. Hope you are all well-rested now. If not, get on that. ABQ Beer Week was bigger and better than ever, but after 11 days of beer events, we all have to admit we are pretty darn tired. It was an exhausting affair. At least it was fun. So much fun. So much fun…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: All’s well that ends well on Day Eleven
And so it ends. ABQ Beer Week will wrap up with a handful of events on this lovely Sunday. While not all of us in the Crew have been able to be everywhere, we felt we hit the best events, and fear not, we will work on a giant compilation of all our favorite beers…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: Feeling zen with a little collaboration on Day Ten
Teamwork is always a good thing, but when is it at its best? Simple, when two breweries get together and collaborate on a beer. That is happening more than once here on Saturday as Canteen and Bosque team up for Hoppiness Envy IPA, while La Cumbre and Odell have Paridisal Pale Ale down at Sister…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: Reviewing the second Marble Beer, Cheese, & More
Editor’s note: Our correspondent Laura lives not too far away from Marble Westside, so she was more than willing to tackle the second Beer, Cheese, & More on Wednesday night. Just as much as Kristin loved the first event downtown, we would say Laura enjoyed this one, too. — Stoutmeister Upon arriving at this event,…

The end is nigh, but there is still much more to drink. Welcome to the second and final weekend of ABQ Beer Week. Friday kicks off with all sorts of events scattered across town as this annual tradition nears its end for 2015. We lead off with the return of the popular Tower of Sour…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: Reviewing the Sierra Nevada Sausage and Cheese event
Editor’s note: Meet Vicki, another of our correspondents, who went to review the Sierra Nevada Sausage and Cheese event at O’Niell’s Juan Tabo from last week. She was delayed in sending this to us, so in the end I figured, hey, why not run this review the day they are holding a second event at…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: Head on over to the Chama River Plum Goodness release party
Yet another special release for ABQ Beer Week brings us back to Chama, where the 505-2015 Session IPA was brewed. This time the release is all their own, Plum Goodness, a soured saison with Italian plums. This is the second release in a saison series of four (The Summer of Saison), starting with the Lemon…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: Where there is smoke, there is great beer on Day Eight
It can be hard to single out a theme on each day of Beer Week, but sometimes there are things that stand out amid all the various tappings, tastings, and food/beer pairings. For instance, today there are two chances to learn from brewing representatives about the beer you are drinking. Head to Chama River to…
