Rather than just be a restaurant, the owners…

The Week Ahead in Beer: State Fair food fun comes early at Rio Bravo
One of the highlights of September, going back all the way to when some of us were kids growing up here in Albuquerque, was the start of the New Mexico State Fair. It meant a day or two off of school, the midway rides, and copious amounts of tasty food treats. Back in 2020, the…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Howling at the dog days of summer
Anyone else feel like this is the summer that just won’t end? Well, some good news, as it’s both supposed to cool down (somewhat) this weekend, and the breweries are continuing to thumb their noses at the heat with more lovely autumn lagers and the like. Marblefest is the biggest event of the weekend, set…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Dr. Ink Me sets an appointment for another round
We promise, the proverbial dam is about to break on some stories that we have been working on for a while now, so stay patient and this site will not be quite so barren in the very near future. Anyway, we’re kicking off the weekly roundup of all things local beer with the return of…
The Week Ahead of Beer: Canteen celebrates the great outdoors
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…
