The 377 Brewery ties for 3rd among American beers at the Great British Beer Festival
At this point in history, it is no longer a surprise to see a New Mexico brewery claiming one of the Michael Jackson Awards for Best American Cask Ale from the Great British Beer Festival. After all, in the previous six years, four local breweries combined for five medals. It is, however, quite heartening to…
Two Santa Fe breweries team up for first-time collaboration
Recently I was attending a little meet-up of the Santa Fe brewers at Rowley Farmhouse Ales, and after many delicious beer samples from the local brewers, as well as some recent RFA collabs, RFA let me in on a little secret. Rowley Farmhouse Ales and recent IPA Challenge winner, Blue Corn Brewery, had a collaboration…

On Saturday, the Rufina taproom will host Second Street’s first Crab and Pilsner Festival, and you’re all invited. The event goes from 11 a.m. on Saturday to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Local breweries step up in fight against childhood cancer with St. Baldrick’s Brew Fest
There are many beer festivals that give a portion of the proceeds to worthy charities. Then there is the St. Baldrick’s Brew Fest, which puts its charity front and center, and will see 100 percent of the net sales go to the cause. It all goes down this Saturday at Broken Trail’s main location at…

Things kick off at 5 p.m., with tickets…
Sabroso Festival combines craft beer, tacos and punk rock
Friends of friends were happy to inform us that the upcoming Sabroso Festival, scheduled for this Sunday at the Isleta Pavilion, was a fun event in its California stops. The setup for the Albuquerque edition, however, has hit some bumps in the road, as breweries have reported major issues with getting their permits approved due…
Toad Fest boasts strong lineup of unique beers
Last year, the Crew was heading back from our tour of the southeast breweries when we made the rather crazy decision to suddenly head over to Silver City to catch Toad Fest at Little Toad Creek. This small-but-fun festival, run by the NM Brewers Guild, is a fun way for folks in the southwest corner…
Marble turns 10: A most Marbelous staff reflects on decade gone by
Marble brewmaster Josh Trujillo was having a normal day at the Heights taproom when I dropped by last week to ask him one question. What does 10 years of Marble mean to you? “Man, I think that’s the toughest question you’ve ever asked me,” he replied, which is saying something, considering that I have been…
Marble turns 10: Packing the week with one fun event after another
In case anyone has somehow missed it, Marble Brewery is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week. The first in a wave of modern craft breweries in New Mexico, Marble has set so many standards for the industry that we felt it would only be appropriate if we went out and put together a week’s worth…
