Sometimes breweries that provide frequent updates on their beers go quiet, and we get a little worried these days. It had been a minute since we had heard from anyone down at Truth or Consequences Brewing in regards to new beers. Their social media pages still showed plenty of fun events going on, so we…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Calavida Cantina adds new offsite location
The last time we talked to co-owner/brewer Martin Ulloa at Calavida Cantina, he mentioned that he had some new ideas/projects, including an off-site location. He promised it would be rather unique and not a heavy-lifting operation, which seemed smart since at the time he was still getting his full-sized brewhouse up and running at the…
Canteen aims to kick butt and take names after year with big change in brewery
February was a weird, slow month. Leave it to Canteen Brewhouse to help us finish it with a proverbial bang. Last week, I sat down with Canteen general manager Jamie Schwebach and head brewer Will Moorman for our annual Look Back/Look Ahead Series. Yeah, just when all of you probably thought we gave up on…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Saying farewell to Echoes with some final shows
It has been a long time since we have written about Echoes, the live music venue/small brewery that moved into the old Burt’s Tiki Lounge space on Gold back in 2022. It was not for a lack of trying, but we never heard back any time we inquired about a story updating how things were…
The Week Ahead in Beer: A mash-up for the ages of V-Day and Mardi Gras
This is one of those weekends where things are kind of odd, because two notable holidays are colliding, and we do not mean Presidents Day for either one (though that happens, also, this Monday). No, we mean Valentine’s Day, which is Saturday, and then Mardi Gras, a.k.a. Fat Tuesday just 72 hours later. Since most…
WinterBrew once again showcased the finest dark beers across the state
At this point, if you have not gone to WinterBrew with all that we have extolled about this amazing festival over the years, there may not be much hope for you. Work is getting in the way? Call in sick. Need to take care of your kids? Just leave out some food and water, they…
Great American Beer Festival scales down and moves outdoors this October
Some breaking news from the Brewers Association hit our inbox Tuesday as the future of the organization’s premier event, the Great American Beer Festival, is changing in a big way. After decades as a three-day event inside the spacious Colorado Convention Center in Denver, GABF is scaling back to two days and will move outdoors…
WinterBrew boasts new beer releases and some classic big brews
Do not let that approaching winter storm deter you, for WinterBrew is back this Friday at the Santa Fe Farmers Market at the Railyard. There are still some tickets available, so grab them while you can because this event always sells out. As we noted in our first preview from a couple weeks ago, there…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Fighting the January doldrums
The slow season is upon us. Again. Yeah, January is generally the slowest month of the year for breweries (and regular restaurants). All we can do is to encourage people to show some extra, or at the very least their regular support in January. There are still some fun events below, and a few new…
High and Dry starts to hit their stride with key equipment upgrade
When we last checked in with High and Dry Brewing over the summer, the new leadership team was just taking the reins and starting to figure out just about everything. Well, six months later, we trekked back over to meet with general manager Kyle Gaston and head brewer Cami O’Brien to see how everything has…
