The Tub turns 10. Yeah, we can hardly believe it either. Bathtub Row Brewing, which remains the only cooperatively owned brewery in New Mexico (and one of just eight in the country), is celebrating 10 years in business starting today (Tuesday) and running through May 24 in Los Alamos. Things are kicking off today since…

Untapped Community Awards bestowed upon 27 New Mexico breweries
Whatever you think of Untappd, and for us it’s mainly a way to keep track of the beers we’ve consumed, it remains the primary app for craft brewery enthusiasts around the country. In that spirit of around the country, Untappd went and made the Community Awards, where it uses those ratings bestowed upon the beers…
The mostly complete guide to Super Bowl hours and events at local breweries
As promised in The Week Ahead in Beer, here’s a separate little article on how breweries are dealing with the Super Bowl on Sunday afternoon/evening. It’s little because far fewer have announced what they’re doing (if anything) than we originally thought. Whoops. Basically, if a brewery does not have TVs, it’s probably just business as…
New owners of Marble Brewery already hard at work during transitional phase
Meet the new bosses, not the same as the old bosses, but not too different, either. At least that is the sense I picked up on when I met up with the new owners of Marble Brewery, Jarrett Babincsak and Bert Boyce, to talk about where we were in the transition last Friday. The duo…

The Crew’s mostly complete guide to WinterBrew 2025
Well, that was short-lived. And no, I’m not talking about the record-breakingly short government ban on TikTok. I’m talking about my dreams of attempting Dry January, as soon as I realized that my favorite New Mexico Brewers Guild event, WinterBrew, is just around the corner. This Friday, WinterBrew returns to the Santa Fe Farmers’ market…
Marble Brewery announces new owners are former Santa Fe Brewing standouts
Normally, companies like to dump their bad news on Fridays. It was pretty much the opposite, however, for Marble Brewery, which announced its new, locally-based owners. Bert Boyce and Jarrett Babincsak, the former brewmaster and VP of sales of marketing, respectively, of Santa Fe Brewing have led a group to purchase Marble. The announcement came…
The mostly complete guide to New Year’s hours at NM craft breweries
As we do for most significant holidays, as a public service we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation for whatever is up next. In this case, it is New Year’s Eve and Day, which leads to some odd hours and closings, as breweries debate staying open late, closing early, or closing entirely…
The mostly complete guide to Christmas hours at New Mexico craft 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 Wednesday, as the Christmas holiday takes precedence. Many breweries are either closed or closing early on Christmas Eve, so make sure…
