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…
NM breweries clean up at North American Beer Awards
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…
Winter could be over … head to the mountains for beer!
It looks like winter broke just in time for Summerfest! The annual Pararito Mountain beer festival is being held Saturday at the ski area near Los Alamos. As always, this is not just a “come and drink beer until you’re silly” event. The ski hill provides a great location for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain…
Homebrewers meet up to brew and talk beer for Big Brew 2015
In many towns and cities across the country at the beginning of May, the AHA (American Homebrewers Association) celebrated National Homebrew Day with an event called Big Brew.

The event will be held again on Main Street, with plenty of food trucks and live music to go with the offerings from 15 different breweries, including the event’s four host…
Marble anniversary week madness ready to get underway
A seventh anniversary does not sound like a reason to go all-out and party for an entire week. This is Marble Brewery, however, and “go big or go home” might as well be their (other) mantra. All week long there will be something special going on at one of their three locations. To help out…
Surprise, the second annual Marchfest was a huge hit
Last Saturday was the second annual Marchfest put on by Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino. Previously, this was an event that many of the Crew had written off due, mostly in part to little to no advertising, except through commercials on the mainstream radio stations (I’d be pretty surprised if the Crew listened to the…
ABQ Brew Dash combines two of our favorite things — running and beer
At some point we have all joked about running to get a beer. And at some point we have probably heard about insane people doing those “beer mile” races (drink a beer per lap around a regulation track, so it’s four for a mile; got to see the Cal-Berkeley cross country team do it once,…
