The pandemic and its associated restrictions might be winding down these days, but many of the same issues that predated it are still present in New Mexico, hunger being chief among those. So once again, Bell’s Brewery and Premier Distributing are working with local food pantries — The Storehouse in Albuquerque, The Food Depot in…

Bell’s Brewery steps up to help The Storehouse and other New Mexico food banks
Throughout all of 2020 since the pandemic began, breweries locally and nationally have kept going in their work to help charities throughout New Mexico.

Ex Novo brewer Chichura takes long and winding road back to New Mexico
Long before he ever brewed a beer in New Mexico, a young Dave Chichura visited Albuquerque on a two-month brewery tour of America in 1995. He visited the Rio Bravo Restaurant Brewery downtown and Assets Grille in the Northeast Heights. Those two breweries passed into history in 1998 and 2005, respectively, while the young beer…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Two brings out the big guns
This thing is only getting started, so there is no time to rest. This is one of the biggest days of ABQ Beer Week, with 16 events scheduled, so choose carefully. Much like Thursday, we had a hard time picking our featured event. On one hand, the beer lineup for the 21 and Over Tap…
Weekend Beer-cap: The holiday brews knocked us all flat
Thanksgiving was kinda fuzzy, man. At least that seems to be the case for most of us, as the sheer number of holiday brews left the bulk of the Crew speechless (or, at least, unable to write). It was a tad overwhelming. First up, Wednesday saw a quick trip to Tractor for a four-pack of…

ABQ Beer Week: Day Three brings out the ridiculous indulgence times 10
Anyone else get wiped out by the 21 and Over event at Sister last night? There were so many good beers, it took a big bite out of us. Nevertheless, we push forward for more! Nexus’ anniversary may loom as the dominant even today, but there are 10 total events, the most of any day…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Two goes big because it knows no other way
That was still a lot of beer on Thursday, but we gotta admit that we like limiting the number of events to 10 or less per day. It keeps us more focused, cuts down on our Lyft/Uber expenses, and so on. There are only six events today. Each one is a little different, yet we…
Beer Notes: New taproom concept and some fun events light up this weekend
Time to clear out the old beer notebook once again … Tap That offers up a different approach For those who do not follow us on Facebook, you might have missed our discovery, per reader Matthew Abeyta, that there is a new taproom opening up this weekend. It is not, however, like most (or possibly)…
Last chance for Black Note Stout on draught is tonight
December is here, and you have one more chance to snag a taste of one of the true wonders of the barrel-aged world with one last keg of Bell’s Black Note on tap at Nob Hill Bar & Grill this evening. This beer, a.k.a. Voldemort, is just as insidious as he who shall not be…
