In many towns and cities across the country at the beginning of May, the AHA (American Homebrewers Association) celebrated National Homebrew Day with an event called Big Brew.

Adam from the Bullpen had a great interview last week with Nob Hill Bar & Grill bar manager/craft beer aficionado Thomas DeCaro about all the upcoming fun he has planned.

This new hall includes such games as ping pong, darts, foosball, air hockey, a giant Connect Four, and the possibility of more to come. I stopped…
La Cumbre assistant brewer achieves rare level of certification

Marble anniversary week madness ready to get underway
A seventh anniversary does not sound like a reason to go all-out and party for an entire week. This is Marble Brewery, however, and “go big or go home” might as well be their (other) mantra. All week long there will be something special going on at one of their three locations. To help out…
Santa Fe Brewing’s new ABQ taproom begins to take shape
Back on Friday I was planning on charging down to the “crane-lifting ceremony” at Green Jeans Farmery, the site near Carlisle and I-40 that will host the first Santa Fe Brewing taproom in Albuquerque.
