Pajarito Summerfest: An alternative to Beer Week

So, you guys down in Albuquerque seem to be having a lot of fun with your “Beer Week” thing.  Lots of events all over town, lots of beer … I can appreciate that. But, some of us don’t get down to Albuquerque very often as we are stuck up in the mountains. Well, we don’t…

Get your Skiesta and SW Chocolate and Coffee Fest beer lists here

We are a long way from regular festival season, but there are two events this weekend featuring some of our local breweries.

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…

Bathtub Row beers are more than worth the trek north

Bathtub Row Brewing celebrated their “Full House Party” this past weekend, with live music, food specials, and more. It was their way of saying, “Hey, all eight of our taps are now filled with our very own beer.” The good news is the people of Los Alamos turned out in droves, with a number of…

Bathtub Row Brewing achieves beer independence

Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos is about to achieve yet another milestone. All of their taps will finally be serving home-brewed beer this weekend. 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…

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

Mere days after posting about how little there is going on in the sleepy little town of Los Alamos, I have returned to inform you about all of the upcoming activities in this bustling little party town. (I’m not going to go so far as to claim that my words actually caused these events, but…
