ABQ Beer Week: Day Two brings out the big guns
This thing is only getting started, so there is no time to rest. This is one of the biggest days of ABQ Beer Week, with 16 events scheduled, so choose carefully. Much like Thursday, we had a hard time picking our featured event. On one hand, the beer lineup for the 21 and Over Tap…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Nine brings the funk straight from Barrelworks
It’s kinda weird that a Friday would end up being the quietest day of Beer Week, but here we are. There are just four events today, and one of those is actually just a monthly event that happens to fall during all of these festivities. At least each of the four looks fun, especially for…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Two goes big because it knows no other way
That was still a lot of beer on Thursday, but we gotta admit that we like limiting the number of events to 10 or less per day. It keeps us more focused, cuts down on our Lyft/Uber expenses, and so on. There are only six events today. Each one is a little different, yet we…
Our early-but-not-too-early picks for the best of ABQ Beer Week
After a rather epic 40th birthday party for yours truly on Friday night, the rest of the weekend was spent in reflection of times gone by, and what is still to come. Namely, what have we already written on and what do we still need to put here on the site. It occurred to me…
A craft beer titan makes a stop in Albuquerque
Last week, before things got a bit crazy around here, Firestone Walker co-founder David Walker dropped in on New Mexico. He was checking out the landscape, seeing just how his beer was faring in our fine state. I was lucky enough to catch up with him at Nob Hill Bar & Grill, and once we…
ABQ Beer Week: Find your slice of heaven on Day Seven
We are past the halfway point of Beer Week, but it is hardly time to slow down. Today’s events are mostly of the special tapping/sampling/tap takeover variety, scattered all over town. There will also be a mini cask festival at Quarter Celtic, a beer-and-food-and-wine pairing at Tractor Wells Park, and an early 90s party with…
ABQ Beer Week: Get that farmhouse funk on Day Six
Now that the holiday is over, Beer Week starts to crank back up again with nine big events. Today will feature an epic tasting at Jubilation, but also a whole lot of beer-and-food combo events. There will be beer with Taco Tuesday, beer with food trucks’ offerings, beer dinners, hell, just beer and food everywhere….
ABQ Beer Week: Let your mind thrive on Day Five
As this is Memorial Day, it is also the lightest day in terms of events. Take a moment to reflect, take a moment to relax, take a moment with family and/or friends, and when that is all over, come join the Crew. No, really, keep reading. Featured Event Every day we will pick what we…
Firestone Walker strolls into New Mexico
We’ve been waiting. Yes, that is directed at you Firestone Walker. It’s been about four years, four months and counting since I moved to the Land of Enchantment. Four years and four months of stuffing my checked bags with Union Jack and Wookey Jack whenever I traveled out of state. But hey, all seems to…
