A little while back, via various newspapers and their websites, Marble Brewery announced where its relocated taproom would be going in Santa Fe after they lost their lease on the Plaza. They would be moving into the new Luna Development at 505 Cerrillos Road, taking a downstairs space soon and then later moving into a…

Go big or go home: The new Tractor brewhouse is a behemoth
The new Tractor brewhouse and taproom located at 1800 4th Street looks relatively modest from the outside. As the old saying tells us, however, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And that inside is big. How big? Well, look at this photo I (Stoutmeister) took from the south end of the brewhouse. That little…
T-minus one week till WinterBrew
It has to be said: It does not feel like winter out there. Hopefully that does not end up jinxing us all to a week of wind, snow, and ice, but this has been one mild winter. Nonetheless, in keeping with the spirit of what should be the season, the New Mexico Brewers Guild will…
New breweries begin to materialize across ABQ
The great Albuquerque brewery boom seemed to sputter out in 2012 and 2013, as only Bosque Brewing opened in the former year and no new breweries appeared in the city limits in the latter year. In fact, only three breweries — Little Toad Creek near Silver City, Kaktus Brewing in Bernalillo, and Duel Brewing in…
Bosque set to open taproom in Nob Hill
That’s too far to drive. Those are possibly the five most annoying words that people in the ABQ area like to string together. Clearly none of those people lived in a larger city, where 60-mile round trips to see friends are considered short. Nonetheless, it is a fact of life here, and something that can…
2014 promises to be a beer-y good year
A new year has dawned, so in the spirit of being lazy and not moving out of this here recliner, I decided a dreaded list story was in order. And no, this is not because this here Stoutmeister is still hungover from Franz Solo’s New Year’s Eve party. While I did drink some great beer…
A rather early preview of a beer-filled weekend
Stoutmeister here, back after stops today at Santa Fe Brewing and Nexus. For the former Porter Pounder and I were there to try the Biscochito Stout as part of the 12 Beers of Christmas (not bad, but a little too many holiday spices at the front, needs more balance) and for the latter I was…
Santa Fe gets festive with the 12 Beers of Christmas
Amid this exceptionally busy time of year, it is always nice to unwind with a pint or two at your favorite local brewery. Some of those breweries will try to be a little extra festive, putting up Christmas decorations or maybe brewing up a special one-off holiday ale. Over at New Mexico’s oldest brewery, however,…
Beer Notes: A festival for Cruces, Dead pints, Hopfest winners
Happy Friday everyone. Stoutmeister here with a grab-bag of beer news and notes. I would ask if you all had a fun Halloween, but it seemed strangely quiet out there. Save for a show at Sister Bar and the kids trick-or-treating, putting the great holiday on a Thursday meant a lot of folks put it…
Bosque prepares to celebrate one year of great beer
Bosque Brewing is growing up right before our eyes. This Saturday the north side brewery will celebrate its one-year anniversary with a party for its loyal customers and anyone else who wants to join. I sat down with brewers Gabe Jensen and Ryan Jameson to talk about Saturday’s festivities, as well as looking back to…
