As we continue our Look Back/Look Ahead Series, we checked in with Boese Brew Co. to see how their past year has gone and what interesting plans they have in store for us in 2023. Boese Brew Co. has expanded their operations (quite impressively) in the past few years, and they’ve done a fabulous job…

Oktoberfest-a-palooza: Rounding up all the events statewide this weekend
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…
A return to business as usual welcomed at all four Boese Brothers locations
With four locations (plus a new cocktail bar) throughout the state, the nearly seven-year-old Boese Brothers Brewery has certainly made its mark in the New Mexico brewing industry.

Downtown breweries appreciate all that Artwalk brings to their taprooms
The weather is sure cooperating with the organizers of the monthly ABQ Artwalk in downtown this Friday.

From today’s events to all those in past months, Artwalk has provided a major boost for…

Well, Halloween is this Sunday, so the weekend is as chock-full as one would expect. Here is just about every Halloween-themed…
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…
Ullr Fest: The show goes on!
The festival season has been a bit spotty the last couple years, of course, so you will hopefully be thrilled to hear that Ullr Fest in Los Alamos will be happening this Saturday, October 2. The annual event at the ski hill is meant to be a tribute to the Norse God of Snow, Ullr,…
Boese Brothers takes advantage of slower times to add something new to its menu
Back when we sent out requests for interview times for our annual Look Back/Look Ahead Series, a few breweries turned us down this year, mainly due to the simple exhaustion of talking about the pandemic and its wide-ranging effects over and over again. A few other breweries just asked us to wait a while until…
Brewery Patio Bracket Round Two: Time to separate the best of the best offsite taprooms
The second round of our brewery patio bracket-style tournament rolls along as we return to the offsite taprooms. Last time, we had the taprooms outside Albuquerque in a separate story from the two sets on the east and west sides of Interstate 25, but now we are putting all three polls in this story. Why?…
