This is it, the final day of Beer Week for 2018. We hope all of you have had as much fun as we did, even if we didn’t get out to as many events as in the past (work/family/metal shows in Denver got in the way). There was also the NM Brewers Guild golf tournament…

ABQ Beer Week: Day Ten keeps it cool even in the sweltering heat
As we approach the end of Beer Week for 2018, the temperatures are a rising, so staying cool in the shade with a good pint or two is a must. Thankfully, there will be plenty to try today at events across town, from special releases to food pairings to even a mini lager festival. Take…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Nine brings the funk straight from Barrelworks
It’s kinda weird that a Friday would end up being the quietest day of Beer Week, but here we are. There are just four events today, and one of those is actually just a monthly event that happens to fall during all of these festivities. At least each of the four looks fun, especially for…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Eight battles for supremacy
If you are reading this, it means we survived the Insomnium show in Denver last night. As you read this, we will be flying back down Interstate 25, because there is beer business to take care of in ABQ. After all, we’ve got Battle of the Beer Geeks to attend, but it’s not the only…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Seven goes to the casks
Sometimes life leaves you with difficult decisions to make. In our case for this Beer Week, it was whether or not to stay in town or make an overnight run to Denver to see one of our favorite metal bands. The chance to see Insomnium won out today. For the rest of you who probably…

ABQ Beer Week: Day Five calls for gratitude before feasting
Oh, what to do with a day off? First, take a moment to be thankful for every member of the military, be it recent or years ago, who gave their lives for all of us. Then, if you do not have a gathering to attend at the house of a friend or family member, or…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Four is all about the brunch experience
Just in case anyone missed it Friday, we already previewed today’s biggest event, ABQ Blues & Brews. Therefore, it’s not actually listed here, as these are just the smaller events happening around town (mostly before the festival). We just didn’t want to confuse anyone or make ourselves seem strangely forgetful. Anyway, as one might expect,…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Three brings out the ridiculous indulgence times 10
Anyone else get wiped out by the 21 and Over event at Sister last night? There were so many good beers, it took a big bite out of us. Nevertheless, we push forward for more! Nexus’ anniversary may loom as the dominant even today, but there are 10 total events, the most of any day…
