New Mexico breweries rock out to some heavy medal
All of us at the Dark Side Brew Crew and most of the craft beer drinkers we know are all aware that New Mexico has some great breweries. The breweries proved that belief, and then some, by pulling in a single-year-record eight medals at the Great American Beer Festival on Saturday morning. Dating back to…
Holy s*** we’re finally going to Santa Fe
Beer drinkers are big talkers. Not just at the bar, but often when just sitting around, even if there’s no beer (especially if there’s no beer, when I think about it), we talk about beer and doing this and that with beer. For a while now, well, pretty much since the IPA Challenge, we’ve been…
