The Week Ahead in Beer: Dr. Ink Me sets an appointment for another round
We promise, the proverbial dam is about to break on some stories that we have been working on for a while now, so stay patient and this site will not be quite so barren in the very near future. Anyway, we’re kicking off the weekly roundup of all things local beer with the return of…
Boxing Bear hits the ring with 10 days of events for their 10th anniversary
There is always something fun about trying to tie a numbered anniversary to an event or beer at a brewery. Do a triple IPA for a third anniversary. Toss seven hops in an IPA for a seventh. Things of that nature. Boxing Bear Brewing, though, decided to just go all-out and schedule 10 days worth…
The Week Ahead in Beer: So many anniversary parties, so little time
After last week’s onslaught of new beers (most of which had to be added over and over to this after the original posting), we had hoped that this would be a nice, relaxing week. Who were we kidding? No, it’s a big weekend for anniversaries. We already shared some details on Flock of Moons’ first…

Boxing Bear expands Bear Fest to 2 days while also making it a free event
Another beer festival is changing things up this year, but in ways that might just make it better. Certainly, we cannot imagine anyone being annoyed that Bear Fest, Boxing Bear’s annual on-premises event, is now free to attend. It will also take place over two days this Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.,…
Boxing Bear’s faithful fans pay tribute to the Corrales taproom before it closes
When we wrote our story about Boxing Bear closing their Corrales taproom, we made the request for people to share their thoughts and favorite memories. If we got enough responses, we wrote, we would put them together in a story and share them with everyone. Well, you all came through, and here are your views…
Boxing Bear prepares ‘A Final Bearwell’ for original location on Westside
The end of an era is upon us. Boxing Bear Brewing is closing its taproom at Corrales and Alameda, a decade after the company was launched there.
