Editor’s note: E-Rock made it back from Texas on Wednesday night and headed over to Two Fools for a Left Hand beer tasting event. He’s trying to play catch-up on all the things he needs to do in advance of Friday’s Dark Ages show, so I’m posting this on his behalf. — Stoutmeister On Wednesday…
ABQ Beer Week: Meet and Greet tops Day 8 events
Oh, my, Day 8 of Beer Week is a busy one. In addition to the ongoing Lips of Faith series at Geckos, there are nine other events. Yup, nine. Pick and choose carefully. In a bit of shameless self-promotion, we in the Crew would definitely recommend a visit to Marble at 6 p.m. That’s where…
ABQ Beer Week: No rest for the weary on Day 7
There are nine total events going on for Day 7 of ABQ Beer Week. NINE. Here is hoping you all have some energy to tackle this day. Actually, one of the events is already over. Kegs & Eggs was at Cazuelas in Rio Rancho this morning at 7 a.m. We should have included it with…
ABQ Beer Week: Behold, the Il Vicino Irish red on cask
Editor’s note: Yeah, I know I said none of us went out to do any beer reviews last night. I was wrong. Shilling got free for the first time in, well, he’ll tell you. We’re just glad to have him back. — Stoutmeister Greetings beer lovers. After a damn near 15-week hiatus to focus on…
ABQ Beer Week: A little Odell and Deschutes goes a long way
Stoutmeister here with another of Derek’s, er, Porter Pounder’s reviews of some of the recent beer tastings, specifically the ones on Monday night. He’s been an intrepid sampler of beer so far, so I’ll let him take it away from here. First up, from Two Fools’ Monday tapping. Odell Treeshaker Imperial IPA Cool demeanor and…
ABQ Beer Week: A fearsome foursome on Day 6
Beer Week just keeps on keeping on, rolling into Tuesday with four events on tap. That might not seem like a lot, but they all have the potential to be awesome, and there are always the ongoing Lips of Faith/Tapas pairings at Geckos and Hot Sunner Nights at Desert Fish for those who have not…
ABQ Beer Week: Dining with the Lips of Faith at Geckos
Stoutmeister here. We still have to create a log-in for Derek (that’s your new homework assignment, Shilling!), so until then I’ll just be presenting his stories like this. Anyway, Derek went to Geckos on Academy on Sunday night to try the New Belgium Lips of Faith Series that is being paired with Tapas dishes every…
ABQ Beer Week: Taking it easy on Day 5
Oh, Monday, you most dreaded day of the week for those folks who still work the traditional 9-5, M-F job. For those of us who don’t, and we are many, this is just another ordinary day. Well, it’s the day “The Following” season finale airs, so I guess it’s not that ordinary. It’s also 50-cent…
The Week Ahead in Beer — Wrapping up Beer Week
Greetings Burque beer drinkers, this is E-Rock here in Houston, Texas, to bring you another Monday installment of The Week Ahead in Beer. My apologies for the late post last week. The logistics of traveling, calling all of the breweries in Albuquerque, and writing this column proved to be more difficult than I anticipated. I…
ABQ Beer Week: It’s all about giving back on Day 4
If there is such a thing as a theme to a day of ABQ Beer Week, you know, besides beer, it falls upon this day, Sunday, to have a singular trend. That trend is a good one as today features numerous charity events where you can give back in different ways. Sometimes it is easy,…
