Hopfest in review: Chilling out in The Maple’s Shade
Stoutmeister here, fully recovered from the madness that was Hopfest 2012 down at Hard Rock on Saturday afternoon. First off, a huge thanks to everyone there, from the fans to the employees and volunteers. You all made it a wonderful show. A big thanks to Marne Gaston, who supplied us with Extra Hoppy tickets. For…

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…
