Stoutmeister here. Porter Pounder went up to Denver in between movie gigs, or possibly on his days off, the rest of us are never quite sure. Either way, while there he discovered a fairly new brewery that taps into our group’s metal-loving souls. Now that he has another brief break in filming, he sent in…

The Great Beer Roundup: Slowdown summer
Stoutmeister here with another Beer Roundup. We did the last one three weeks ago but hope to stick to more of a biweekly schedule from here on out (the July 4 extended holiday weekend threw us off). As we stated last time, the idea of the Beer Roundup is to provide our readers with short…

Taos Trek II: The Wrath of the $20 Cover
This heat sucks. It’s probably the most repeated line everyone in the ABQ metro area has heard since early last week. Shilling and I, Stoutmeister, had heard quite enough of it so we decided to do something about it. Specifically we decided to head up to the (slightly) cooler climes of Taos and do our…

The Great Beer Roundup: No swoon in June
We drink a lot of beer. Shocking, I know, but between the six members of the Dark Side Brew Crew, we really do have a lot of different beers every month. The more I thought about this, while of course filling out another beer check-in on Untappd, I realized we were missing a perfectly good…
Babes and beer makes life peachy
Greetings friends! Forgive me for the rather late post. Got to love summer school, but a late post is better than no post. Back at the beginning of the month, Stoutmeister and I made time for a very quick trip up to the state capital to visit our state’s oldest brewery to get a sample…
