Just in case anyone missed it during the holiday week, Lasso Brewing is now open and serving coffee and lagers at Gold and Sixth Street downtown. We got a super-quick tour of the shared brewing area in the back and will be sure to do more in the future, but co-owner Chris Frigon was an…

Snazzy 16 finalists line up for competitive IPA Challenge field
Oh, sure, we could have used the obligatory sweet 16 in that headline, but we do not want to be sued by CBS and the NCAA. Anyway, the preliminary round of the 2025 New Mexico IPA Challenge was held this Saturday at Gravity Bound to narrow down a large field of competitors into the finalists…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Gravity Bound celebrates 5th anniversary
Gravity Bound has always kept things fairly low-key, so it should come as no surprise that while they are celebrating their fifth anniversary this Saturday, the whole thing just feels like a classic laid-back affair. Well, maybe, as there will be a burger pop-up from Farm Shark, a dog adoption and fundraiser with Animal Humane,…
Playing the waiting game or a preview of what stories are on deck for summer
Last week was quiet. Like, ridiculously quiet, as far as beer stories go. We have entered into a bit of a news lull, it appears, as breweries prep for the summer rush that they know/hope is coming. Everyone could use a great a summer, and most that we have spoken to recently are optimistic after…
Gravity Bound enjoys some tranquility while that other project rolls along
After spending a few months waiting on that other project, The Brothers Frigon — Chris and Cameron — invited me over to Gravity Bound Brewing last week to at least spend a little time talking about their original brewery.

It was back in May when Boese Brothers Brewing closed their original location downtown, ostensibly to undergo some renovations in the taproom. It was about mid-autumn when Crew readers began to ask what was really happening, and we in turn reached out to owners/brothers George and Sam Boese. They pointed us to Gravity Bound owners/brothers…
Gravity Bound set to transform Boese downtown space into a lager house
One brewery wanted to expand its production. Another brewery wanted to scale back on one of its locations. That is the genesis of a unique new partnership between Gravity Bound Brewing and Boese Brothers Brewery, one which will see the former take over the latter’s downtown taproom space, while both breweries will share use of…
Hit the streets with NM Brewers Guild and local breweries for the Zombie Crawl
For the vast majority of us, this weekend is basically Halloween Weekend, with all the ghoulish delights popping up from house parties to special events at breweries, bars, and restaurants all around town. One of the best-looking new additions is the Zombie Crawl, a new event from the New Mexico Brewers Guild that combines elements…
Gravity Bound needs one more day to finish a key part of their renovation
For the many fans of Gravity Bound Brewing, this week has been an exercise in patience, waiting for the completion of a few interior renovations before reopening. Can you all wait one more day? We caught up with co-owners/brothers Chris and Cameron Frigon earlier today (Friday) to check in and see what they have been…

A lot of little random bits of beer-related news have been piling up over here, so we decided it was time for another emptying of the proverbial notebook.
