That was still a lot of beer on Thursday, but we gotta admit that we like limiting the number of events to 10 or less per day. It keeps us more focused, cuts down on our Lyft/Uber expenses, and so on. There are only six events today. Each one is a little different, yet we…

Marble brewmaster Josh Trujillo was having a normal day at the Heights taproom when I dropped by last week to ask him one question. What does 10 years of Marble mean to you? “Man, I think that’s the toughest question you’ve ever asked me,” he replied, which is saying something, considering that I have been…
Marble turns 10: Rolling through a decade of history
The Albuquerque craft brewing scene of early 2008 was barely a scene at all. A series of closures in the years prior had left just three operational breweries within the city limits — Chama River, Il Vicino, Kellys — plus two in nearby suburbs, Tractor in Los Lunas and Turtle Mountain in Rio Rancho. There…
Marble turns 10: Packing the week with one fun event after another
In case anyone has somehow missed it, Marble Brewery is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week.
