With the actual Oktoberfest back up and running in Germany, it only made sense for just about everyone else to start doing their own versions of the annual beer-filled event all around the world. In New Mexico, this weekend alone will see five different Oktoberfests in five separate towns, so we figured it behooved us…

Raise your horns! Ullr Fest brings the local beers back to the mountain
Summerfest in Los Alamos was canceled in June because of fire risk, to the disappointment of many, but thanks to the abundance of rain recently, Ullr Fest is a go this Saturday. As always, the annual event will be hosted by and held at the Pajarito ski area just outside of Los Alamos. Fans of…

It was a close vote at the 2022 New Mexico Brewers Guild Stout Invitational on Saturday, but at the end it was La Cumbre who came out on top. With 29 votes, the longtime Albuquerque heavyweight prevailed over a field of 16 stouts in a blind taste test held over three sessions at Bathtub Row…
Stout Invitational returns with a twist to Los Alamos after 1-year COVID hiatus
Before the dark times arrived in March 2020, the last great beer event held was the New Mexico Brewers Guild Stout Invitational at Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos.

The beer festival makes a triumphant return in a proper autumn setting
We went to a beer festival this past weekend, and it was amazing. Oh, sure, we could have written that statement dozens (hundreds?) of times in the past, but since the pandemic arrived, we haven’t had the opportunity. The last sampling festival any of us could recall was WinterBrew in January 2020, while the last…
