It’s been a pretty quiet week so far, as one could probably tell by our lack of stories the last two days, but things should start to pick up as we get closer to the weekend. Canteen is certainly ready for Saturday with the return of Thirst for the Outdoors at the brewery from noon…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Marble brings back one of their best charity events
The start of August means a lot of things. Kids are about to go back to school (good luck, teachers), the weather might finally start to cool off (fat chance), and breweries are bringing back some of their best annual fests. The first of those is Love Beer, Hate Cancer, the yearly event hosted by…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Downshift determined to revive Ruidoso
The good folks at Downshift Brewing, and everyone else down in Ruidoso, have been through the summer of hell, to put it mildly. No sooner had they started to recover from the South Fork Fire and Salt Fire, which combined to destroy 1,500 structures in town, but then came the monsoon rains and flash floods…
The Week Ahead in Beer: So many anniversary parties, so little time
After last week’s onslaught of new beers (most of which had to be added over and over to this after the original posting), we had hoped that this would be a nice, relaxing week. Who were we kidding? No, it’s a big weekend for anniversaries. We already shared some details on Flock of Moons’ first…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Enjoy a little bit of anything and everything
This is shaping up to be one of those scattered weeks, without a singular theme, but still with a lot to do and quite a few new beers to enjoy. There’s some comedy, a couple monthly events (one with a decidedly fun 80s theme), a little metal, a vendor market, and of course the first…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Go Fourth and enjoy all the brews this holiday
The Fourth of July falls on a Thursday this year, potentially giving lots of folks an extended weekend to enjoy things blowing up in the sky and cold beers in their hands. We are working on compiling the holiday-standard list of brewery opening hours, closings, and any other schedule alterations, but so far those have…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Get your Zozobra pint glasses ASAP
If you follow just about any brewery on social media, you have probably seen a post or two about the New Mexico Brewers Guild’s annual Pint Glass Day. The Guild has collaborated with New Mexico artists to create a special glass, and this year’s edition features a celebration of the upcoming 100th anniversary of Zozobra,…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Celebrating the summer solstice in style
First up, before we get into the usual accounting of new beers and events, we wanted to pass along our thoughts and hopes that everything turns out as well as possible for our friends at Downshift Brewing and Lost Hiker Brewing as the Small Fork and Salt Fires tear through the Ruidoso area. If there…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Kick it up a notch with annual event in Bernalillo
The biggest event of the summer in Bernalillo returns this Saturday and Sunday, all organized and sponsored by Kaktus Brewing. The Farmhouse Ale Country & Blues Festival is not necessarily a celebration of saisons, but of the season, bringing together music, games, and other activities for folks of all ages at Loretto Park both days…
The Week Ahead in Beer: A little art, music, comedy, crawfish and more
The days of the only entertainment at breweries just being a single musician in the corner with an acoustic guitar are long gone, as this week proves. There is a little something for everyone down in our events section, with everything from live poetry performances to comedy shows to beer-themed games to a grand opening…
