We have written in the past about how hard it can be to get anyone on the record when a brewery closes. This was not the case, thankfully, with ReSource Brewing, which will shut down after one final party today (Saturday) from 5 to 9 p.m. Co-owner Shawn Wright sat down over a couple pints…

The dandy dozen breweries attending the NM Brew Fest bring their finest beers
As we promised in our preview of New Mexico Brew Fest earlier this week, we reached out to the 12 breweries attending this Saturday to acquire their beer lists in advance. We got 10, which is a lot better than none, and if any more late arrivals pop up in our inbox, we will add…
Brew Lab 101 set to take over ReSource Brewing space in November
The news came via social media, as it typically does these days, late Monday afternoon that there was a shake-up coming to the craft beer scene in the Northeast Heights. ReSource Brewing owners Shawn and Stephanie Wright were selling their business to Brew Lab 101, which finally found its taproom east of the Rio Grande….
Planning ahead to all of the great beer events of autumn in New Mexico
During a spot of downtime in Minneapolis on Thursday, I took note of a couple more announced events in the coming months. The more I thought about it, I figured it would be helpful if I would compile all of the announced events so far into a single post so all the beer lovers in…
ABQ Beer Week returns with an even more local vibe than in years past
It is almost the end of May, believe it or not, and that means we have reached the annual stretch where ABQ Beer Week returns to celebrate all things craft in Albuquerque. This year’s version is scaled back from the pre-pandemic era Beer Weeks, and rather uniquely features a local brewery at every event. No…
Brew Lab 101 aims to follow up a busy winter with an even busier summer
The winter months are the traditional slow season at breweries. But, not at every brewery, as the folks at Brew Lab 101 will tell you out in Rio Rancho. I caught up with co-owner/brewmaster Scott Salvas and head brewer Tevin Gray recently for our annual Look Back/Look Ahead Series to recap a banner 2022 and…
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…
Great NM Beer Festival holds a first competition between local breweries
For the first time in a long while, an all-New Mexico breweries competition was held in advance of Saturday’s Great New Mexico Beer Festival. Local breweries competed for three medals in each of four categories, with a different brewery claiming gold in each category. Well, almost, since no gold medal was awarded by the judging…
ABQ Beer Week: Breweries keep things quite cozy on a quaint Day Seven
After Tuesday featured just one event, things snap back to normal with multiple events today (Wednesday). A Los Ranchos brewery comes to the Sawmill District, Marble rolls out a new beer in cans and on draft, and Tractor and Brew Lab 101 have some of their regular events in the evening. Featured Event Every day…
ABQ Beer Week: A mellow Monday helps everyone reset on Day Five
Well, here is hoping everyone survived ABQ Blues & Brews, or the Nexus anniversary party, or possibly even both on Sunday. The three-day weekend comes to an end today with a relatively mild slate of events for Day Five. The Santa Fe Brewing/Tin Can Alley fundraiser comes to an end, while Tractor Wells Park and…
