IL VICINO BREWERY CANTEEN — Howdy, folks, Stoutmeister here, trying out a dateline for whenever we actually write something from the confines of one of our local breweries. It’s Black Friday, a day that sucks for far too many people; luckily there is beer and that makes things better. Specifically, there is the Cherry Chocolate…
Brewology—Tis the season for homemade pumpkin ale
Editor’s note: Stoutmeister here again with another entry from Derek. Yes, we’re working on getting him his own sign-in for the site, but we wanted to get this post up before fall morphs into bitter winter. Derek is the most experienced home brewer among the six of us, so you’re darned right we wanted to…
The Week Ahead in Beer—Be thankful for beer!
Happy Thanksgiving, fellow craft beer lovers, this is E-Rock here this Monday, as I am almost every Monday, to keep you up to date on all of the seasonal beers, music, and events served up in and around the Albuquerque metro area. It’s hard to pin down a theme for new seasonals in the 505…
Kicking back in The Maple’s Shade with Goat Head Brewing
One of the best parts of being a beer blogger is whenever we get the chance to sit down and talk about beer with brewery owners or the brewers themselves. E-Rock and I, Stoutmeister, had another opportunity to hang out with one of our local brewers and discuss the past, present, and future of his…
Eastern Brews: Seeking a good pint in Florida
Editor’s note: Stoutmeister here, typing up a long-awaited review by Derek of his trip to Florida (it’s the first writing assignment for him; but he did design the current NMDSBC logo, so we’re not complaining). He was visiting the Sunshine State for other reasons, but found the time to hit up some breweries in a…

Greetings and salutations, Burque beer lovers, this is E-Rock here this Monday, as I am roughly every Monday, to keep you up to date on all of the seasonal beers, music, and events served up in and around the Duke City. This week, we are seeing some new stouts and ESBs hitting 505 tap rooms…
Saturday Night Sixer: The Sunday edition!
Greetings hop heads and malt maniacs! We’re back with another installment of the Saturday Night Sixer, brought to you on a Sunday this week (thanks, technical difficulties); this week we’ve got a few heavyweights to pop the tops on. Not sure which six pack will please the palates of your friends? Tired of the same…
The Week Ahead in Beer—Dark (lager) days ahead
Hello, fine people who make New Mexico’s burgeoning craft beer scene something to behold, this is E-Rock here this Monday, as I am roughly every Monday, to keep you up to date on all of the seasonal beers, music, and events served up in and around the Duke City. Several dark lagers are making their…
Beer Notes: All about the Noir at Tractor
Stoutmeister here with another of those haphazardly thrown together beer notebooks. In the midst of a strangely busy/not busy week, one of those times when you feel like you’re doing lots of things without accomplishing much of anything. Or something like that. Anyway, the beer gods have done their best to smile upon us of…
