Greetings, all. Yes, this is a day early, but with Thanksgiving on Thursday, we figured it would be a good idea to help you prepare for the holiday in terms of what beers are available for you to pick up in order to survive the big family dinner. We will have a separate story Wednesday…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Feel soup-er with awesome Canteen charity event
Someone page Senator Bernie Sanders, because Canteen Brewhouse is hosting The Great Soup Off this Saturday at 1 p.m. This is another wonderful charity event to benefit beertender Mike Thrall and his family as he recovers from throat cancer. The general gist of this event is that for $25 you get a pint of beer,…
The Week Ahead in Beer: A month of charitable brews continues
November has already seen the release of the charitable collaboration SereniTEA Now at Canteen, High and Dry, and Steel Bender to benefit the Agora Crisis Center. Now more charitable beers are beginning to appear, including the annual release of Copper Canyon Pale Ale, which benefits children in need in the Copper Canyon region of Northern…
The Week Ahead in Beer: La Negra returns as things start to slow down
The slow season is upon us once again. There is a stark lack of new releases this week, the number of events are way down (but, they always would be compared to Halloween weekend). The one bit of good news is that this gives us all a chance to catch up on the seasonals we…
The Week Ahead in Beer: An onslaught of Halloween events are upon us
This is one of those weeks where the number of events go through the roof, while the number of new beer releases is rather small. Hey, it happens, especially when it happens to be essentially Halloween weekend. The holiday won’t fall until Monday, and let’s face it, that will be for the children (as an…
The Week Ahead in Beer: A milestone anniversary calls for celebration
One of the first under-construction breweries that the Crew visited in our first year of existence was the Bosque Brewing on San Mateo back in the fall of 2012. Well, since we turned 10 in January, it’s Bosque’s turn to reach the decade club, so naturally they will be throwing an anniversary party. Bosque North…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Welcoming the annual return of the darkest brews
We are still recovering from a wild long weekend in Denver, and Red River in the case of one of our staff, but the beer news is building up, so this is just the first of what could be many stories this week and in the weeks ahead. But, focusing on the purpose of this…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Say farewell to the Fiesta and hello to GABF
While the Balloon Fiesta is wrapping up down here, a good chunk of the local brewery employees are headed north to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival. As this is the first fest since 2019 where the general public can attend, it also means the Crew can return to cover the event. Erin and…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Fiesta times are here again and fests are taking off
In case you have not been paying attention, the Balloon Fiesta is back starting this Saturday. So watch out for increased traffic, more (than usual) distracted drivers, folks going the wrong way on one-way streets around downtown, etc. It also means some of our breweries will be more crowded than usual, so take note if…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Get nostalgic with special charitable meal at Canteen
Remember all those random group dinners, oftentimes with plates of Italian food, held when you were a kid? The ones your parents dragged you to because they were designed to help a specific charity or organization, raise money for a sports team, or maybe to assist a local family in need. Well, Canteen Brewhouse remembers,…
