We are just scratching the surface of the busy times to come, but this weekend is pretty packed. ReSource Brewing has created a special imperial stout to benefit Ukraine, and the collective of Brew Lab 101, Canteen, High and Dry, Nexus, Steel Bender, Tractor and Rowley Farmhouse Ales will also be putting it on tap…

The Week Ahead In Beer: Pink Flowers and Pink Boots!
Spring hath sprung! Pink and white flowers abound in trees everywhere, the skies are at war between wind, rain, snow, and sun. Catch some awesome hops for a marvelous cause this Thursday, and then indulge in all things coffee and chocolate and beyond, this weekend at Southwest Chocolate & Coffee Fest. Hop Heroine Pale Ale,…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Bow & Arrow anniversary bash features 4 new brews
We often joke about how a person can experience all four seasons in one week in New Mexico, but this is getting kind of ridiculous. Anyway, it should be back to springtime temps this week, and there’s plenty going on at the breweries to pull us all off the couches. Bow & Arrow is celebrating…
The Week Ahead In Beer: Irish I had a little bit more stout!
The Ides of Smarch (it may be a made up month from The Simpsons, but we denizens of Burque all know the fickle and ever changing nature of this particular month) are upon us! Stouts, Irish Red Ales, meats, potatoes, cabbage, green beer, and stout cakes mean that spring has nearly sprung! This one hits…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Fight the Pollening with some great new brews
ACHOO! Ah, yes, spring in New Mexico, better known as The Pollening. Actually, wait, isn’t it still winter? Nope, spring. Nah, winter. All right, look, we are as tired of the constantly fluctuating weather as all of you are by now, but the good news there is still beer. Lots of beer. Lots of delicious…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Beware the Ides of Smarch
Smarch! Yeah, it’s that false spring in New Mexico that begins around Mardi Gras and goes right up until late April or some important holiday around then. We will have some prime patio days coming right up, starting this week, so take full advantage and get out to enjoy some fresh brews and fresh air…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Mardi Gras blows up even before Tuesday
There are a few new brews this week, but the big happening is the return of Mardi Gras celebrations to the breweries. It has been a long time since they have been able to celebrate this annual carnival, so quite a few places are going all out this Saturday and Sunday. In a way, this…
The Week Ahead In Beer: Stout Month Rolls On
Another Super Bowl and Stout Challenge have come and gone. Now we make the long march to St Patrick’s Day, and await all of the delicious Irish red ales and stouts which come with the holiday (there are a few on tap now, so we can get a head start!). As for the present, there…
The Week Ahead in Beer: From a Super Sunday to loving brews on a Monday
The downside, or upside, depending on one’s perspective, of the NFL going to an 18th week/17th game was that the Super Bowl got pushed back a week. The big game is this Sunday, followed by Valentine’s Day on Monday. In other words, pace yourselves carefully this weekend, at least those of you in committed relationships….
The Week Ahead In Beer: Rejoice, for Stout Month is upon us!
It’s Stout Month at last! Huzzah! Blessed was the darkest of beers, for it was good, and we love it, all of it. I mean, we pretty much enjoy the entire spectrum of beer, but stouts are special to us. In any event, not too much going on this week as we have a slight…
