The Week Ahead in Beer—Old Friends Return
‘Tis Monday, I’m E-Rock, and here’s my weekly update of all the new brews gracing Albuquerque-area breweries. This week, I’m more impressed by what’s back rather than what’s new. Tractor is bringing back their delicious Mustachio Milk Stout and Il Vicino has new batches of the Sasquach Scotch and the IPA Challenge-winning Exodus IPA. Turtle…
The Week Ahead in Beer—Red, White, and Brews
Today is Monday and I am E-Rock, which must mean that you are reading my weekly preview of the newest seasonal beers to be offered by Albuquerque-area breweries. The monsoons have hit the 505, which means we have more rain than usual. We also have more red ales and Belgian beers than usual. Turtle Mountain…
Belated recap of the beer-filled weekend that was
Stoutmeister here, finally getting around to recapping the beer awesomeness that was this past weekend. If I had a good excuse for waiting this long to write about things, I would use it, but in the end it was just the usual stuff (Topes, watching Euro 2012) and some unusual stuff (moving furniture around, a…
Beer Week: Finishing with a flourish
First off, happy birthday to Franz Solo, who turns the big 3-0 today (Saturday), though the celebration began last night as he and E-Rock took in some more ABQ Beer Week events before I caught up to them to close the night out at Marble and Tractor. E-Rock recaps things below, since after all, we…
Beer Week: Colorado and Oregon invade, we approve
E-Rock and Franz Solo each made trips out for Thursday’s ABQ Beer Week events in Nob Hill. They offer up their thoughts on all the great beers that were available. Once again, I found myself at beer tastings on Nob Hill. I started the day’s tastings at Two Fools where I ran into the ABQ…
Beer Week: The reality of real ales
E-Rock reports on his ABQ Beer Week experience from Wednesday: After spending most of Tuesday at several different establishments doing beer tastings, I decided to take it easy and enjoy Marble’s Real Ale night. Marble had three cask beers to choose from, including their Maibock (7.0% ABV), Doppel Bock (7.0%), and the collaboration beer 505…
Beer Week: E-Rock tackles taste-a-palooza
Many breweries had tastings on Tuesday night. I made it to four different establishments to see what was new for Beer Week. I started the evening at Two Fools where Sierra Nevada released Hoptimum (100 IBU, 7.8% ABV). This dry and hoppy double IPA was what Stoutmeister would refer to as a kung-fu kick to…
Beer Week notes: So many events, so little time!
ABQ Beer Week keeps rolling right along, with a slew of midweek events that we are all trying our darnedest to keep up with. Monday got a little too busy for most of us (I was covering the Isotopes, E-Rock wrote up his last post and then had rehearsal, Franz Solo is being a good…
Beer Week: The Scottish ales are free!
Well, not really free as in you don’t have to pay for them, but two new variations on the popular Scottish genre were on the loose on Sunday. Two Fools had a peat-smoked version of Il Vicino’s excellent Sasquatch Scotch on tap for the nice, low price of $3.75, while Nexus unleashed the burly Beam…
