Stoutmeister here. Porter Pounder went up to Denver in between movie gigs, or possibly on his days off, the rest of us are never quite sure. Either way, while there he discovered a fairly new brewery that taps into our group’s metal-loving souls. Now that he has another brief break in filming, he sent in…

Taos Trek II: The Wrath of the $20 Cover
This heat sucks. It’s probably the most repeated line everyone in the ABQ metro area has heard since early last week. Shilling and I, Stoutmeister, had heard quite enough of it so we decided to do something about it. Specifically we decided to head up to the (slightly) cooler climes of Taos and do our…
Babes and beer makes life peachy
Greetings friends! Forgive me for the rather late post. Got to love summer school, but a late post is better than no post. Back at the beginning of the month, Stoutmeister and I made time for a very quick trip up to the state capital to visit our state’s oldest brewery to get a sample…
Beer Notes: The Crew shall rise again

Arizona Breweries, Take 2: Scaling the North Mountain
Stoutmeister wraps up his short trip through Arizona with a visit to the just-opened North Mountain Brewing in Phoenix and a quick stop by SanTan Brewing in Chandler. Despite all the beer and baseball, he should come home to ABQ soon. The only unfortunate thing about where my friend Chuck lives in the north end…
Arizona Breweries, Take 2: Facing off with Dragoon
Stoutmeister went back to Arizona for a little post-state high school basketball tournament vacation. He earned it. The possibility of a third-round NCAA Tournament game between New Mexico and Arizona does not excite some of us. OK, probably just me, since that pits my hometown team versus my alma mater, meaning I have to choose…
Drinking your way to the heartland of America
Editor’s note: Franz Solo does not have much time to write these days between working full-time, being married, owning a house, and all that grown-up stuff, but he was able to find all the info he needed (and the pics to go with it) to finally recap his late-2012 trips to locales beyond ABQ. Sometimes…
