Back during the time I was interviewing the key members of the Marble Brewery staff for their entry in our Look Back/Look Ahead Series, brewmaster Josh Trujillo and I ended up missing our chance to talk before that article was published.

Flix gets studious for 2019 and we all reap the delicious rewards
Greetings fellow beer lovers, Franz Solo here with the second entry to my portion of our annual Look Back/Look Ahead Series. I live just minutes away from Flix Brewhouse and have enjoyed quite a few lovely film-and-beer days and nights there since their opening. It was my pleasure to talk to head brewer Will Moorman…
The Blackest of all Fridays returns at Rowley Farmhouse Ales
Once again, the Blackest of all Fridays returns to Santa Fe, THIS Friday, in fact. And no, I speak not of the unholiest of all financial sacrifices to consumerism. I speak of “Black-est Friday,” the annual celebration of independent craft barrel-aged Stouts at Rowley Farmhouse Ales. Each year, special and rare kegs of the richest…

“This old house” in Corrales plays to its strengths
Casa Vieja, located at 4541 Corrales Road, decidedly does not want to be like the other breweries you know. This beautiful, historic building has had several lives.

Santa Fe Brewing builds up HQ in 2019 so it can keep expanding in 2020
Santa Fe Brewing Company had its busiest year yet. But, for a brewery known to spend a great deal of its efforts on expanding the empire outward, 2019 found New Mexico’s oldest operating brewery crafting closer to home and building upward. Not too long ago, I met with owner Brian Lock on my lunch break…
Examining the mysterious mysteries of some forthcoming breweries
Greetings, all, Stoutmeister here with a random bit of randomness on a rainy, rather metal Friday afternoon. I have recently gotten some inquiries on some of the breweries now listed as having active small brewer licenses with the State of New Mexico, but are not yet open to the public. Here is everything we know…
Marble Brewery rolls through a year of distribution growth and expanded events
Even a year without any major projects can prove to be a busy one, at least as far as Marble Brewery is concerned. The brewery that started the current boom back in 2008 continued to see a steady increase in sales, with more events at its three locations, all of which should continue into 2020,…

Black Snout Brewhouse hopes to get even more dog friendly next year
The last time I visited a few weeks after their June opening, Black Snout Brewhouse only had one of their own beers on tap. They reported selling out quickly because they have a small system. Owner Josh James said they are consistently keeping at least five on tap now. They do still have a few…
