The day is finally upon us. Today is the day we in the New Mexico Dark Side Brew Crew turn ArtBar dark. Very dark. Dark cabaret, dark music, dark trivia, and above all else, dark beer. It shall flow tonight. Welcome to the Dark Ages! We realize some of you may still be going “what…

ABQ Beer Week: That’s almost a wrap on Day 9
The ninth day of ABQ Beer Week is almost the finale. Only Blues & Brews remains after this, but as far as finales go, that one is pretty epic. This day, however, is the one the Brew Crew has been looking forward to the most. After all, it has our very own event, the Dark…
ABQ Beer Week: Meet and Greet tops Day 8 events
Oh, my, Day 8 of Beer Week is a busy one. In addition to the ongoing Lips of Faith series at Geckos, there are nine other events. Yup, nine. Pick and choose carefully. In a bit of shameless self-promotion, we in the Crew would definitely recommend a visit to Marble at 6 p.m. That’s where…
ABQ Beer Week: A fearsome foursome on Day 6
Beer Week just keeps on keeping on, rolling into Tuesday with four events on tap. That might not seem like a lot, but they all have the potential to be awesome, and there are always the ongoing Lips of Faith/Tapas pairings at Geckos and Hot Sunner Nights at Desert Fish for those who have not…
ABQ Beer Week: Taking it easy on Day 5
Oh, Monday, you most dreaded day of the week for those folks who still work the traditional 9-5, M-F job. For those of us who don’t, and we are many, this is just another ordinary day. Well, it’s the day “The Following” season finale airs, so I guess it’s not that ordinary. It’s also 50-cent…
The Week Ahead in Beer — Wrapping up Beer Week
Greetings Burque beer drinkers, this is E-Rock here in Houston, Texas, to bring you another Monday installment of The Week Ahead in Beer. My apologies for the late post last week. The logistics of traveling, calling all of the breweries in Albuquerque, and writing this column proved to be more difficult than I anticipated. I…
ABQ Beer Week: Recapping all the special releases to date
Stoutmeister here, palate intact after last night’s bruising pair of special release beers. While Brandon was busy indulging in the Tower of Sour at Back Alley, the rest of us were scattered about. Derek and I visited Two Fools for the special tapping of Goose Island’s Bourbon County Coffee Stout. This was followed by a…
ABQ Beer Week: Release the 505-Five!
Day Two of ABQ Beer Week rolls along with the release of the 505-Five Collaboration beer, a hoppy, yet malty, imperial-strength beast of a beer that lies somewhere between a red and an IPA. It will be available today/tonight at Chama River, Il Vicino, La Cumbre, Marble and Nexus, aka the five breweries that joined…
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…
ABQ Beer Week is creeping closer and closer
Well, hello there, ABQ-area beer lovers. Stoutmeister here, freed from the “shackles” of Isotopes Park for a few days. While I’ve been neck deep in baseball coverage, all those TBD events for ABQ Beer Week 2013 are suddenly coming into focus with full details and the like. With so much info floating around out there,…
