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…

High and Dry underwent a renovation in more ways than meets the eye
The transformation of High and Dry Brewing is almost complete, one that extends beyond the remodel that customers will now see out front. I caught up with new general manager Kyle Gaston, new head brewer Cami O’Brien, and now full owner Mark Baker to learn all about what has been going on and what is…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Feeling fly at High and Dry anniversary time
Last week, we highlighted the anniversary event for one of our top small neighborhood pub breweries, Sidetrack. Well, these anniversaries tend to roll over in bunches, and this week it’s another neighborhood pub’s turn, as High and Dry celebrates “seven years of pour decisions.” You gotta admit, that’s a damn fine slogan. As Sidetrack means…
The Week Ahead in Beer: High and Dry gets its kicks with anniversary No. 6
After Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and the Super Bowl, it would be perfectly sensible for breweries to take it easy this weekend. Most are doing just that, but High and Dry has an anniversary to celebrate, and the show must go on regardless. There are special T-shirts for sale, a new lager (High Desert Life)…
High and Dry stays aloft at brewery while working on Public House upgrades
Sometimes just having what one might describe as a typical year is rather welcome. At least that is the case with High and Dry Brewing owner/brewer Andrew Kalemba, who said it was a solid year for the brewery at Adams and Lomas. The offsite taproom, on the other hand, continues to be an evolving challenge,…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Slow sippin’ for a cause all November long
Anyone else exhausted? Halloween was a lot this year, stretched over a weekend-plus (or pretty much the entire month, right, Launchpad staff?) for regular folks and all the brewery employees out there. It’s times like this where it will be nice to just kick back with a relaxing pint and do good just by sipping…
Balloons and Brews at Steel Bender leads list of Fiesta-related brewery events
We have all been here before. The day before the Balloon Fiesta kicks off, the day before the chaos, the day before all the poor doggos bark their little heads off, the traffic backs up, and the tourists arrive in droves. Thank goodness there is local craft beer. Our breweries are our refuge from all…
Events Roundup: Entire weekend packed to the brim with brewery shindigs
For the second week in a row, we decided that the sheer number of events going on required a full breakout from just the simple listings in The Week Ahead in Beer. Let us dive in, shall we? Friday: Getting a bit goth-y Just a couple of cool events to highlight for tonight. First up,…
Beer Notes: More Crushies for 2 local breweries, QC wins Down Under and more
It has been busy with all the events lately coming right on the heels of the World Beer Cup and Craft Brewers Conference, so we missed a few items of note. For instance, Second Street and Steel Bender combined to win five Crushies at the Craft Beer Marketing Awards, which were also announced during CBC….
High and Dry Brewing joins forces with Red Mesa for unique auction night
We could not let this week come to a close without making sure we had a feature on another wonderful collaboration between a local brewery and a local band. As they have in the past, High and Dry is teaming up with Red Mesa, though this one is a little different than past concerts and…
