Let the games begin, the Marble Games, that is. For their 16th anniversary celebration, Marble Brewery is going a little retro, much to the benefit of all. The eye-catching graphics designed by Lisa Burke caught our attention, so I headed downtown to catch up with events coordinator Amy Levine to learn all about the upcoming…

Fête de la Funk: NM Brewers Guild’s first sour and funky beer fest set for Santa Fe
Do you love sour beers? No, really. It’s OK. You can admit it here. It’s a safe space. You’re amongst friends. So let me ask again, do you love sour and funk-forward beers and wish we showed them just a little more respect here in New Mexico? If you, like many others, find yourself often…
Cask Festival returns to Sidetrack with varied lineup from 13 breweries
Well, first, the good news is that the annual Cask Festival is back at Sidetrack Brewing this Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. The bad news is that it has sold out, so if you were not lucky enough to snag a ticket, continuing to read this could just make you sad and a bit…
The mostly complete guide to all the St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans
As we promised back in The Week Ahead in Beer, we have compiled a separate post highlighting all the events tied to St. Patrick’s Day this weekend. There is a lot, and probably even more than we are listing here, so make sure to check with any breweries not listed. Most of this is all…
Ex Novo and 25 other breweries paired up for return of United in Beer festival
While some of us (well, me) were working on Sunday afternoon, reps from 25 different breweries joined the Ex Novo staff at The Corral for the second United in Beer draft day. For anyone who missed it last year, United in Beer is a collaboration festival, with those breweries paired up at random. The goal…
Metal and Beer Fest was exactly the type of off-site festival the world needs
A while back, we brought up the question of what is the future of the off-site craft beer festival. Many of you, as well as folks in the industry, responded with all sorts of ideas as to how to keep these things going. One that we thought had promise was the themed or specialized off-site…
Blackest Friday ’23 is upon us
It’s not always easy to tell when stout season has come to Santa Fe. Some might say it begins with the first seasonal closing of a taproom patio. Some might say it arrives with the first frost-covered windshield. Some, with the first obligatory swarm of “It’s Snowing!” posts on Facebook. And for the Dark Side…
The mostly complete guide to Thanksgiving hours at NM breweries
As we do for most significant holidays, as a public service we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation. It should come as little surprise that most places will be closed this Thursday, as the Thanksgiving holiday takes precedence. The good news is that no brewery has informed us that they are closing…
Muertos Fiesta brings on-site festival season to a close at Marble Brewery
The end is nigh, so to speak. This Saturday’s Muertos Fiesta is the grand finale of big events at Marble Brewery for 2023, a fitting conclusion to a long, fun year. I caught up with events coordinator Amy Levine to go into detail about this year’s edition of the popular post-Dia de los Muertos event…
Halloween happenings and early closings at local breweries
Normally when Halloween falls in the middle of the week, it is treated as a holiday just for the kids. After all, the grown-ups got all their partying out of the way this past weekend. Right? Well, not necessarily, as some breweries do have some small events and specials tonight. Others are closing early (or…
