The Pink Boots Society is not just a national organization that honors the women of the present involved in craft beer across the country, it also honors all those who came before them. It was that theme that inspired the New Mexico Chapter’s annual collaboration beer, The Fermentress Session IPA, which will debut today (Friday)…

Keeping Together officially joins Santa Fe beer scene with grand opening
No one said opening a brewery was easy, in fact, they will probably tell you not to do it. They’d say it’s crazy opening a brewery, especially now. But, for the owners of Keeping Together, not opening was not an option. They were going to make it happen regardless of what they had to sacrifice…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day a wee bit early
Another prime drinking holiday is falling on a weekday this year, which is a bummer, but one we can all overcome if we try hard enough. St. Patrick’s Day is next Tuesday, and we will be sure to run a more in-depth preview of the day’s festivities at Quarter Celtic, Kaktus, La Cumbre, Second Street,…
A little winter returns just in time for Stout Invitational at Bathtub Row
The temperatures are dropping outside, as if Mother Nature knew that this weekend is all about the stouts and wanted to provide a suitable atmosphere. The New Mexico Brewers Guild’s annual Stout Invitational returns to Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op in Los Alamos this Saturday afternoon, A field of 16 stouts will be sampled and judged…
Nexus aims for resilient year after some refinement and recommitment
Sometimes the things that cause a brewery to struggle are subtle and mostly out of view of the public eye. Other times, they are right out in the open. In the case of Nexus Brewery, the biggest obstacle of 2025 was not even in the building. It was out on the ripped-up, rebuilt, remade I-25…
The Week Ahead in Beer: TorC Brewing overcomes frustrating hiccup
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…
