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.

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,…
ABQ Beer Week: Recapping all the special releases to date

Ahem, anyway, this year’s collaboration beer by ABQ’s Big Five (Chama River, Il Vicino, La Cumbre, Marble, and Nexus) is considered an Imperial IPA….
ABQ Beer Week: Release the 505-Five!
Day Two of ABQ Beer Week rolls along with the release of the 505-Five Collaboration beer, a hoppy, yet malty, imperial-strength beast of a beer that lies somewhere between a red and an IPA. It will be available today/tonight at Chama River, Il Vicino, La Cumbre, Marble and Nexus, aka the five breweries that joined…
The Week Ahead in Beer—Beer Week Begins
Editor’s note: Sorry this is coming out so late on a Tuesday, folks. E-Rock’s on the road, and when he finished it this afternoon, I was busy covering high school softball in Valencia County. Hopefully we’ll be back on a normal schedule for TWAIB next week. At least I know I’ll be in the comfy…
