Discover the joy of beer and hiking with local author Kevin Holsapple
Since you’re reading this, we already know you’re a fan of good beer. And, with all of New Mexico’s enchanting mountains and terrain, there’s a heck of a lot of hiking fans here, too. If you’ve been to Colorado, you know that they’re at least as serious about both topics. Why do I bring this…
