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…

Options dwindle for Bosque Brewing after judge dismisses bankruptcy case
As first reported by Albuquerque Business First on Tuesday, the ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy case filed by Bosque Brewing came to an abrupt end after a federal judge’s ruling. Following a hearing last week, Judge Robert H. Jacobvitz dismissed the Chapter 11 filing, citing that Bosque simply had too many debts for any restructuring deal…
The mostly complete guide to Christmas hours at New Mexico craft breweries
As we do for most significant holidays, as a public service we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation. It should come as little surprise that most places will be closed this Thursday, as the Christmas holiday takes precedence. Many breweries are either closed or closing early on Christmas Eve, so make sure…
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…
The Week Ahead in Beer: An avalanche of events before Christmas
Holy hell, the events section below is stacked. It feels like every brewery has something going on before we get to a semi-break with Christmas falling on a Thursday next week. There’s some trivia, a video game event, craft nights, charity supporting events, informative lectures, bellydancers, pet adoptions, holiday markets, Christmas carolers, drag queen bingo,…
Turtle Mountain turns biggest challenge into major accomplishment
We figured there would be some interesting answers to our three questions for the current edition of the Look Back/Look Ahead Series. We did not figure that the first two questions about a brewery’s biggest challenge and biggest accomplishment would produce the same answer. Leave it to Turtle Mountain Brewing owner Nico Ortiz to pull…
Sunday Service Motor Co. expands brewing operations during busy year
At this point, it is probably not a well-kept secret that I, Stoutmeister, am huge a Bayern Munich fan. My family lived in Bavaria (Southern Germany) in the early 1980s, so when it came time to pick a European soccer team to root for, well, that choice was easy. I recently got to attend my…
The mostly complete guide to Thanksgiving hours at NM breweries
As a public service that we do for most significant holidays, we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation for whatever is up next. In this case, it is Thanksgiving, a.k.a. the great day of gluttony, watching football even though your fantasy team is a lost cause by now, and arguing with family….
The Week Ahead in Beer: Quoth the raven and get to the next big brew release
Oh, big beer season is upon us, and it is glorious. Sure, the weather is weird and just can’t seem to move forward (though of course it may this weekend on all the NM United fans in Tulsa) into truly settling into a cooler pattern instead of these wild day/night temperature swings. The havoc it…
Local breweries pay tribute to veterans
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent and all was quiet on the Western Front. The end of World War I in 1918 marked what would eventually become Veterans Day in the United States, honoring all those who served in the military. From brewery owners at…
