The slow season is upon us. Again. Yeah, January is generally the slowest month of the year for breweries (and regular restaurants). All we can do is to encourage people to show some extra, or at the very least their regular support in January. There are still some fun events below, and a few new…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Embracing the new (year) without much new (beer)
Boy, if we thought last week was short on new beers, it has nothing on this week. The landscape is barren, folks, so as we have often said during weeks like these in the past, go get that beer you missed. Perhaps you missed out on 5 X 5 Czech (Dark) Lager at Bombs Away,…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Adding a little more darkness before Xmas
To say this is a quiet week for breweries would be an understatement. But then again, what else would one expect with Christmas smack dab in the middle of it all? Yeah, our best advice is to load up on beers today (Tuesday) and Wednesday (those hours will be shared tomorrow) to get you through…
The Week Ahead in Beer: An avalanche of events before Christmas
Holy hell, the events section below is stacked. It feels like every brewery has something going on before we get to a semi-break with Christmas falling on a Thursday next week. There’s some trivia, a video game event, craft nights, charity supporting events, informative lectures, bellydancers, pet adoptions, holiday markets, Christmas carolers, drag queen bingo,…
The Week Ahead in Beer: La Cumbre taps so many anniversary brews
How the heck has it already been 15 years for La Cumbre? It still feels like yesterday when we first walked in, sat around those barrels-as-tables, and had our first pints of Elevated IPA and Malpais Stout. But, time has passed, and now the brewery is celebrating another milestone with a week’s worth of events….
The Week Ahead in Beer: TMBC strikes with Thunderbolt
A little while back, myself and Franz Solo went over to Turtle Mountain North on a brew day for a Belgian-style tripel. He had helped in the recipe construction along with members of the Worthogs homebrew club. The TMBC brew team handled the hard work, and it all went smoothly. Well, now they are releasing…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Time for an indulgent Black Friday
Hello a day early, as we wanted to make sure everyone has time to do their beer shopping before Thanksgiving. Our focus, though, is on the day after everyone gets gluttonous. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, so more than ever, breweries are refuges from all that consumer madness. And, one…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Steel Bender goes big for holiday season
Wait, how did that happen? How did we get to Thanksgiving this fast? We’ve barely had time to enjoy autumn! Dang, well, since the holidays are upon us, this is a great time to stock up on some packaged beers that can last through the end of the year. Well, still drink those IPAs and…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Quoth the raven and get to the next big brew release
Oh, big beer season is upon us, and it is glorious. Sure, the weather is weird and just can’t seem to move forward (though of course it may this weekend on all the NM United fans in Tulsa) into truly settling into a cooler pattern instead of these wild day/night temperature swings. The havoc it…
The Week Ahead in Beer: November kicks off with bevy of events
Keeping this intro short and sweet due to having to pick up a midweek day shift at work. Hey, at least it frees me up to go see Revocation at Launchpad. As for the big events of the week, it’s quite the mix. There are charity events at Canteen (x2) and Painted Lady, ArtWalk is…
