Even though they are still a few months shy of their second anniversary, Gravity Bound Brewing has already made a noticeable impact on the New Mexico beer scene, as well as the community around us.

Small brewer license renewals come with a surprise for some this year
Back in 2019, Senate Bill 413 was passed, which had a potentially profound effect on breweries throughout New Mexico.

The Week Ahead in Beer: New canned releases surge in grand January finale
There are quite a few canned releases to close out this month, which is just fine since our beer fridges haven’t been overflowing at all lately. (Insert sarcastic and/or maniacal laughter here.)

Gravity Bound celebrates its first anniversary with a little help from some food truck friends
Opening a brewery in the midst of a global pandemic was no easy feat, but for brothers Cameron and Chris Frigon, they not only pulled it off with Gravity Bound Brewing, they have since seen their business thrive beyond any and all expectations. Now, with one year of operation under their belts, the Frigon brothers…
Picking a favorite among the random and wonderful beer names out there
About a week ago or so, a couple of us in the Crew were enjoying pints at a brewery, where the name of a new beer caught our eye. You Can’t Park Here is an apt name for a beer at any brewery, but in particular those in and near downtown. The only question, of…
