It has been a slow news week on the beer front, as you all have no doubt noticed from our lack of fresh content on the site. Now, part of this is due to the fact that there are a lot of rumors about brewers moving about that we have either not confirmed or we…

Los Alamos’ quest for its own brewery needs support
Though there is always the possibility that one may exist elsewhere in America, the Los Alamos Beer Cooperative is the first of its kind in New Mexico. Quietly, this co-op effort is seeking to open the first brewery in Los Alamos, with a reported target date of this fall. Of course, hoping to open a…
Marble boasts the (Stout) Americano done right
Last night, with some anticipation (I really liked this beer’s 2013 incarnation), I trekked over to Marble’s downtown pub with Stoutmeister to try Stout Americano. I am most certainly a fan of strong coffee stouts and from my initial impressions this looked damn good indeed. Americano has a strong oatmeal stout base matched with coffee…
The Stumbling Steer rumbles to life at last
Editor’s note: While I was battling a cold last week, I dispatched Franz Solo and Porter Pounder to the West Side to check out Albuquerque’s newest brewery-restaurant. Their report has helped me get healthier faster. — Stoutmeister The Stumbling Steer has arrived at long last and holds quite a bit of promise for great things…
Odell is doing more than OK after a year of major expansion
Every now and again, the good folks at Jubilation hold a special beer tasting. And every now and again, someone interesting shows up to one of those tastings. Back on Thursday afternoon, Odell was the featured brewery, and Ryan Odell, a regional sales manager, was there in person to chat about his family’s enterprise. The…
An homage in beer: Stone’s tribute to a fallen friend
Looking for a unique beer to take home this weekend? Franz Solo found one that truly fits the bill. I recently sampled the first beer I’ve ever tried that was a tribute to a fallen brewer at Stone, Matt’s Burning Rosids. This is a little weird, a recipe from the mind of a man just…
Bosque bolsters its brewing staff with a big-name hire
Back toward the end of WinterBrew I, Stoutmeister, was talking to the guys at Bosque when founding brewer/co-owner Gabe Jensen dropped some surprising news. I had to hang onto that news for a bit, but then the story broke late last week that Blue Corn brewer John Bullard, who has made quite a name for…
All is well at Tractor’s new Wells Park location
Four out of the six Brew Crew members were contemplating what to do with ourselves on a quiet Friday afternoon when the good word came down that Tractor’s new Wells Park taproom was going to be open for business at 5 p.m. So off we went, to indulge in some of the 16 beers on…
Super Bowl of Stouts, new Tractor opening, new brewer at Bosque all equal one big weekend
Happy Friday, everyone! Stoutmeister here with a roundup of all the recent beer news and notes, plus a preview of this big “it-should-be-a-national-holiday” weekend. Yeah, it’s Super Bowl time, and at least this year there are two teams involved that not everyone in the Crew utterly despises. I’m rooting for the Seahawks, personally, but that’s…
Digging up the details on Marble’s new Santa Fe taproom
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…
