Once upon a time, the Crew was all about the Great American Beer Festival. One or more of us was there every year between 2016-19, plus 2022 when it returned after the pandemic. Since then? Eh, not a high priority on our annual calendar. It’s not necessarily the fault of the event itself. Surge pricing…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Kolsch Service is the best kind of service
We have written a bit about some not-so-great trends lately in the industry, but now we are seeing one develop that we can definitely get behind. Kolsch Service, a very German tradition, involves stanges, where you sit at a table and your server keeps bringing you these wonderful, skinny pours of kolsch until you decide…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Feeling fine turning 9 at Bow & Arrow
There is a lot happening this weekend, and it’s not just all the Mardi Gras-themed events. Bow & Arrow Brewing celebrates their ninth anniversary with a big party Saturday that starts when they open at noon and runs all the way until closing time at 10 p.m. There are four new canned beer releases (see…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Settling into the slower season
After a particularly rambunctious week on the events calendar, things are slowing down now as we barrel toward to the holiday season. Things are getting a bit quieter at the breweries, but that tends to be fine with us. We just like going out and enjoying a good conversation with friends and a couple pints…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Double grand openings highlight start of winter
No, it is not technically winter as defined by the world’s meteorologists, but darn, it sure feels like it outside. It’s like that bit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where they just skip a season (fall, in our case). Anyway, not to lean into the doom too much, but at least we still…
Beer Notes: Good news abounds at Bow & Arrow, Jemez Mountain and more
Let us close out August on a high note, shall we? Bow & Arrow is one of three breweries nominated for Brewery of the Year in Vinepair’s Next Wave Awards. The brewery explained things in a post on social media: “Launched in 2021, @vinepair Next Wave Awards honor those in the spirits, wine, and beer…
Gravity Bound claims their 2nd trophy in 3 years at NM IPA Challenge
After a close vote in the first round in Santa Fe two weeks, there was a landslide of votes in Albuquerque for Gravity Bound Brewing at the 2024 New Mexico Brewers Guild IPA Challenge final round. It was a second win three years for Gravity Bound, which racked up a total of 106 votes between…
Hop bombs will be on target for final round of IPA Challenge at Bow & Arrow
The New Mexico Brewers Guild IPA Challenge will wrap up with a three-session final round at Bow & Arrow Brewing this Saturday.

The brewery will host a special webinar today (Wednesday) at 11 a.m. Thursday will feature the Just Vote (Hazy DIPA) release at 5 p.m., along with Protect the Sacred Fireside Chat with…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Bow & Arrow goes all out for their 8th anniversary
A number of breweries have tried that cute little trick where they brew up the same number of beers to match the number of their anniversary. With many New Mexico breweries now 10 years or older, that really isn’t feasible. Heck, even eight isn’t feasible, so Bow & Arrow just went ahead and created six…
