Enjoy some Founders for a good cause in Flagstaff
This time of year is a bittersweet one for craft beer lovers. Bitter for those who didn’t score tickets to the Great American Beer Festival and SWEET for those who did. If you need to nurse those wounds, there is an event coming up this weekend in Flagstaff, Arizona, that may just do the trick —…
Bathtub Row beers are more than worth the trek north
Bathtub Row Brewing celebrated their “Full House Party” this past weekend, with live music, food specials, and more. It was their way of saying, “Hey, all eight of our taps are now filled with our very own beer.” The good news is the people of Los Alamos turned out in droves, with a number of…
Bathtub Row Brewing achieves beer independence
Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos is about to achieve yet another milestone. All of their taps will finally be serving home-brewed beer this weekend.

Santa Fe brews up a plan to help save the Santa Fe River
In 1855, the Santa Fe River rose beyond its banks and washed away a good portion of a major brewery in Santa Fe. That instance made the papers and thus became our first official documentation of any brewery in New Mexico. Now, that’s not to say that there weren’t other breweries in existence, but we…

It seems only fitting that on Champions League Saturday, a number of New Mexico breweries could claim some championships of their own. In this case, the North American Beer Awards handed out the hardware and six breweries from our state each won one or more medals. Leading the way in total medals was Blue Corn…
