The Week Ahead in Beer—Beer Week Begins

Editor’s note: Sorry this is coming out so late on a Tuesday, folks. E-Rock’s on the road, and when he finished it this afternoon, I was busy covering high school softball in Valencia County. Hopefully we’ll be back on a normal schedule for TWAIB next week. At least I know I’ll be in the comfy…

Sold my soul for stout at Il Vicino

On a recent Wednesday, I, Franz Solo, happened to stop by the Il Vicino Canteen for some libations after a long day at work. My initial intent was to do a couple samples of some of the newer seasonals and fill a growler with the much-hyped Milk Chocolate Cherry Stout, but, much to my delight,…

Beer Battle: Picking the finest Irish Red of them all

Sometimes inspiration can strike at the oddest hours. With the crummy weather coming in, E-Rock and I (Stoutmeister) decided to postpone our planned Taos Trek II that we had set for this past Saturday. Franz Solo actually had a Saturday off, and despite the Lobos going kaplooey, he wanted to watch basketball and drink beer….

The Week Ahead in Beer—Bosque serves up beer for a good cause

Editor’s note: E-Rock wrote this yesterday (Monday) and it should have been posted then, but a certain on-vacation-editor was busy watching baseball and drinking beer. Hey, it was work.
