Pucker up, sour lovers, Tart at Heart is returning for its third edition on Saturday, April 15. To whet your collective appetites, we figured why not share the beer list.

Turtle Mountain goes all out for 18th anniversary
Sometimes it can be hard to squeeze all the important details about upcoming events into The Week Ahead in Beer, thus forcing some separate, but short stories. This is one of those, as we felt you all needed more details on the upcoming 18th anniversary events at Turtle Mountain. The Rio Rancho institution is celebrating…

Abyss gets vertical at Side Effex plus Tart at Heart to return soon
The Crew has been largely focused on events that occur either at our local breweries or that still involve them at off-site locations.

La Cumbre gets back to its roots with Cask Ale Festival
La Cumbre marketing director Cory Campbell was doing a bit of house cleaning when he stumbled upon a piece of the brewery’s past. “I cleaned out one of the closets upstairs in one of the offices and found the old poster for it,” Cory said of the first Cask Ale Festival, held in 2011. “I…

The Bathtub Row Brewing Co-Op…
Hop to the west side for a great date spot during this month of love
A recent date-day Saturday found us embracing the old cliché of dinner and a movie. Except we did it backwards and watched a movie first, then had dinner. When the movie is a great one (Hidden Figures, I highly recommend it) at the superb theater brewery that is Flix Brewhouse and then dinner is at…
La Cumbre grows with purchase of adjacent property
Back when we ran our Look Back/Look Ahead Series entry on La Cumbre, Jeff Erway said he was getting close to acquiring “a property very close to here” that would help expand the brewery’s distribution footprint. The only thing Jeff left out was which building, but just about anyone walking down Girard had to notice…

Beer Polls: Pick the best of everything in 2016 — Part Three
Pardon the one-day delay in our final set of beer polls, Wednesday was filled with the type of non-fun that I will not bore you with here. (Though, at least at night, our team came in fifth out of 20 competitors at Geeks Who Drink.) Anyway, for the third time we call upon you, our…
