Cinco de Mayo has evolved into just about the biggest drinking holiday on the calendar, equaling or surpassing St. Patrick’s Day. So it is with zero surprise that breweries are getting in on the action. There will be drink specials, some new brews, and food specials abound this Friday at places across town. So far…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Closing out the month of April in proper brewery style
Usually after a busy weekend, a quiet one follows, but that is certainly not the case as we finish off April with a plethora of fun events and new beer releases. We will have separate previews on Canteen’s Day Drinking for a Cause and Auction Night with Red Mesa at High and Dry, both of…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Celebrating Earth Day the brewery way
Earth Day is this Saturday, and some of our breweries will be celebrating with some varied events. Bow & Arrow will have a celebration on the patio from noon to 5 p.m., with Rowan & Wren Flowers will be selling fresh flowers, dried bouquets, and wreaths, and can help you grow your own bouquet transplants….
The Week Ahead in Beer: SWOP Hop on over to Boxing Bear Firestone
One of those random questions that we could not answer when it first came up was a variation of how will the craft beer and cannabis industries get along in New Mexico following legalization of the latter. Well, the answer is pretty darn well, and if you needed any further proof, head out to Boxing…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Run for a good cause with a tasty pint afterwards
We spotted the poster for Run with Joy at Canteen a while back, and made sure to note that when we reached the week of this charity event, we would lead Week Ahead with it. Well, that week is now, as the run is this Saturday at 8 a.m. The race is named for the…

Other signs include Ex Novo opening The Corral seven days a week, and Tumbleroot opening its patio at the Agua Fria taproom this Thursday. We learned that Isotopes Park will…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Ending spring break in a nice and relaxing style
Last week was more than a little crazy, right? There were so many new beers and so many events around St. Patrick’s Day, it almost swallowed us all. But, as I sit here preparing for my seventh consecutive day at work (fear not, off Thursday, gonna work on not one but three stories), I’m reminded…
The Week Ahead in Beer: St. Patrick’s Day reigns over the brewing world
Well, I survived the drive back from Arizona, so here is the slightly belated Week Ahead. Yeah, as you might expect with the holiday falling on a Friday, St. Patrick’s Day is dominating the week. There will be places with live music, food specials, and, of course, lots of beer releases. There will be plenty…
The Week Ahead in Beer: New releases of some brewery classics abound
What is old is new again, or at least that seems to be the closest thing we have to a theme this week. La Cumbre has finally canned one of its original brews that has long been a staple on draft. Marble canned an old-school style as well. Throw in some returning monthly events at…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Marching towards the change in seasons
While some rejoice at the change in seasons from winter to spring, we always end up a little melancholy that dark beer season is coming to an end. But, then we see some of the crushable lagers and big-hopped IPAs on deck, and we feel a little better. Only a little, because damn, allergies, you…
