After a few false starts, summer is finally here, and the temperatures are soaring. We wish the best of luck to all of our beer friends in Southeast New Mexico, in particular, where the temps could reach 110 degrees this weekend. Yikes, that’s Arizona weather. Our best advice? Stay inside with a nice, cold pint…

Brace yourselves, it’s going to be another one of those weekends, where you will have to make some tough choices. Just plan ahead and you can get to most of the events and beer releases of note. Big ones include a new collaboration between Ex Novo, La Cumbre, and Marble, another collaboration between Steel Bender…

While checking the beer events this week, we had to pause for a second when we saw that Lizard Tail was celebrating its second anniversary. But wait, we thought, hasn’t it been around a lot longer than that? Well, yes, but in this case, the anniversary party being thrown this Saturday from noon to close…

Sometimes breweries come up with events that one could consider genius, or insanity. The Brewathlon is a little of both, in our opinion. This new event from Brew Lab 101, benefiting R4 Creating in Rio Rancho, will take place this Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. You can sign up here for all four events,…

This Saturday was basically written by the Brew Crew, as it seems to have all of our favorite things. There’s the Mama Bear Market at Boxing Bear Corrales, because most of us tend to procrastinate getting our moms anything for Mother’s Day (which is this Sunday, and yes, if you have forgotten up until this…

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…
