Bosque Brewing weathers multiple challenges at multiple taprooms in 2020
Taprooms open, taprooms closed. Kitchens open, kitchens closed. Patios open, patios closed. One taproom open, another closed. The early weeks of the pandemic left Bosque Brewing’s employees, owners, and customers feeling like their heads were spinning. Things have stabilized, as much as anything can in 2020, since then, but it has still been a heck…
Merch Guide 2020: Another way to keep supporting our local breweries
As we did in four of the last five years, the Crew has put together a brewery merchandise guide for all of you just in time for your holiday shopping. Hey, it might be nice to just buy people beer, but sometimes they need more in life, like cool shirts, hoodies, growlers, and other specialty…
Rio Bravo wins the 2020 NM IPA Challenge by the closest of margins

The breweries in the northern reaches of New Mexico really fired up their supporters, with a record…
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?…
Checking in on all the forthcoming breweries and taprooms frozen in place
Back when I interviewed the Bow & Arrow Brewing staff about their new canning line, co-owner Shyla Sheppard said that the forthcoming Rambler Taproom in Farmington has been placed on indefinite hold. It made sense, not having a patio and all, but it ended up getting all of us in the Crew wondering about what…
