The Week Ahead in Beer—Bosque serves up beer for a good cause
Editor’s note: E-Rock wrote this yesterday (Monday) and it should have been posted then, but a certain on-vacation-editor was busy watching baseball and drinking beer. Hey, it was work.

Beer Notes: Busy but fun beer days ahead
Stoutmeister here with another round of clearing out the old mental notebook of beer. Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day, that overly commercial, cheeseball annual event. The good news is it will be over soon, which means 90 percent fewer Kay/Jared jewelry commercials. For that alone, gentlemen of ABQ, raise a pint. The other good news is…
