As usual, things are busy with Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos. The big one is Skiesta, which will be held this Saturday. If you’re into skiing and beer (and I bet a healthy percentage of you reading this are), this is an event not to be missed. It’s getting awfully warm out there, so who…

It has been a little while since the first Bosque Brewing Insider event back on December 2. Fear not, it shall not be the last of those events, as they have just announced a new Insider event for Thursday, March 10. Bosque general manager Jessica Myers invited me over to chat about it. The cool…
How to run a better fest courtesy of our neighbors in Arizona
After returning from my weekend beer sojourn to Phoenix, I struggled to come up with some sort of follow-up post. Some sort of review involving a slew of beers that cannot be acquired in New Mexico seemed pointless, so I almost let the memories of the Arizona Strong Beer Festival fade away. Then it occurred…
Bathtub Row set to host the first Stout Invitational
Greetings, beer lovers! Things are afoot at Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos. First and foremost, the ‘Tub is hosting a Stout Invitational event on February 20.

Fear not Santa Fe for you get your own Victory at Sea Day

The folks over at Kaktus Brewing might be nuts. Or, maybe they are just ambitious. But, probably nuts.

Keeping Portland beered even when things get weird
Each year, the Portland Holiday Ale fest sets me right into my holiday mood, and this year was no exception. The festival was more expensive, yet more crowded than any of the previous years, with a $35 entry fee. Entry included a plastic mug and 12 tickets (so essentially the price just to walk in…
The second annual Santa Fe Open brewing competition was another success
The Santa Fe Open brewing competition has once again come and gone, and this year the event was bigger and better than the first. Envisioned by the Sangre De Cristo Craft Brewers (the local Santa Fe homebrew club) in 2014, this event has been held in early to mid-November for home brewers and professional brewers…
Festival overload is hurting the NM craft brewing scene
As the snow falls outside, it currently feels about as far removed from festival season as can be in New Mexico. The period that begins with ABQ Beer Week in May and ends with NM Brew Fest in October saw more festivals than ever this year. That is not a good thing. Back on Friday…
