Summer took its time getting going this year, but now that the heat has arrived, it feels like the right time to head to the mountains to cool off. The timing is perfect, because Pajarito Mountain in Los Alamos is hosting its annual SummerFest this Saturday, with the beer festival from 1 to 6 p.m….

Tractor Brewing plows their way to victory at 2024 Stout Invitational
The stouts did flow on a lovely Saturday afternoon at Bathtub Row Brewing, as the annual Stout Invitational returned to Los Alamos. The Crew sent myself, Luke, and Reid to participate in the blind taste test of 16 stouts from breweries across New Mexico (Erin was also volunteering in the back, pouring samples for the…
Ullr Fest this weekend marks the end of summer (finally!)
It felt like it was regularly 150 degrees right up until this week, so you may have been caught off guard by the first beer festival of the fall season. Now it’s cool and rainy, and heck, there may even be prospects for snow someday. Ullr Fest at the Pajarito Mountain lodge above Los Alamos…
Raise your horns! Ullr Fest brings the local beers back to the mountain
Summerfest in Los Alamos was canceled in June because of fire risk, to the disappointment of many, but thanks to the abundance of rain recently, Ullr Fest is a go this Saturday. As always, the annual event will be hosted by and held at the Pajarito ski area just outside of Los Alamos. Fans of…

The beer festival makes a triumphant return in a proper autumn setting
We went to a beer festival this past weekend, and it was amazing. Oh, sure, we could have written that statement dozens (hundreds?) of times in the past, but since the pandemic arrived, we haven’t had the opportunity. The last sampling festival any of us could recall was WinterBrew in January 2020, while the last…
Ullr Fest: The show goes on!
The festival season has been a bit spotty the last couple years, of course, so you will hopefully be thrilled to hear that Ullr Fest in Los Alamos will be happening this Saturday, October 2. The annual event at the ski hill is meant to be a tribute to the Norse God of Snow, Ullr,…
New Bathtub Row head brewer brings experience and energy all the way from St. Louis
Earlier this year, Bathtub Row Brewing (“the Tub”) lost its head brewer, Brandon Venaglia, who decided it was time to head back to Albuquerque. Venaglia is now running the show at Toltec Brewing, so all of us in Los Alamos say thanks for all of the great beers, Brandon, and good luck! (Toltec is one…
Boese Brothers’ Los Alamos taproom quietly opens its doors
Los Alamos is a pretty small town, so most people here are probably already aware that Boese Brothers’ latest taproom opened two weeks ago. I was out of town and missed the grand opening, and I finally made it over last Wednesday. It’s about what you’d expect: a cool vibe, a few big screen TVs,…
Ullrfest signals the end to summer at last
After a long, hot summer that’s still pretty hot, it may seem strange to have a beer festival dedicated to snow, but it’s happening at Pajarito Ski Area near Los Alamos this Saturday. Ullrfest is an annual tribute to Ullr, the Norse God of Snow. The hope is that with enough people dressed in Viking…
