Once again, it is time to select the best beer name of the year. We name this pseudo award after Marble’s Thunder from Dortmunder, the first local beer name to crack us up years ago. The rules are fairly simple: A brewery has to come up with an original name and release it for the…
Bosque Brewing will close all remaining taprooms by Sunday afternoon
The probably-almost-final word came down Friday afternoon when Bosque Brewing announced over social media that they would close down all of their remaining taprooms by Sunday at 5 p.m. The Nob Hill location, which was the first offsite taproom that opened years ago, was the first to close Friday afternoon. The North (Bernalillo), Cottonwood, Heights,…
Options dwindle for Bosque Brewing after judge dismisses bankruptcy case
As first reported by Albuquerque Business First on Tuesday, the ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy case filed by Bosque Brewing came to an abrupt end after a federal judge’s ruling.

The mostly complete guide to Christmas hours at New Mexico craft breweries

The Week Ahead in Beer: An avalanche of events before Christmas
Holy hell, the events section below is stacked. It feels like every brewery has something going on before we get to a semi-break with Christmas falling on a Thursday next week. There’s some trivia, a video game event, craft nights, charity supporting events, informative lectures, bellydancers, pet adoptions, holiday markets, Christmas carolers, drag queen bingo,…
Bosque Brewing closes 2 more locations with no end in sight
We are not the betting types, and you will not find us at a casino more than once in a blue moon. But, if we had placed bets on the next two Bosque Brewing taprooms to close, we would have just won something. Bosque announced today (Tuesday) on social media that they have closed, effective…
Bosque Brewing heads deeper into the great unknown
For those without social media, or perhaps those who do not pay attention to traditional media, the news that Bosque Brewing has closed both of their Santa Fe locations may have slipped past Tuesday. The Drinkery, on Santa Fe’s south side, and the Restoration Pizza at the Railyard are no more, both shutting down immediately….
The Week Ahead in Beer: La Cumbre taps so many anniversary brews
How the heck has it already been 15 years for La Cumbre?
