Love dogs? We sure do. We love them just about everywhere, but it’s a little extra fun seeing them enjoying brewery patios alongside their humans. This Sunday will feature a new event called Adopt the Block, where four breweries and two distilleries along First and Second streets will all have dog adoption setups from Animal…

Science of Beer returns to Explora with help from 6 local breweries
Way back in 2018, the Crew did a little preview of the Science of Beer event at Explora, and then went out and attended the event. What happened to those photos is a mystery lost to time, but the good news is we have a chance to rectify that as Science of Beer returns this…
Santa Fe Brewing sues former employee and current Marble co-owner
Over the past weekend, the Crew obtained a copy of a legal complaint filed by Santa Fe Brewing Company against a former employee who now just happens to be a co-owner of Marble Brewery.

New owners of Marble Brewery already hard at work during transitional phase
Meet the new bosses, not the same as the old bosses, but not too different, either. At least that is the sense I picked up on when I met up with the new owners of Marble Brewery, Jarrett Babincsak and Bert Boyce, to talk about where we were in the transition last Friday. The duo…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Settling into the slower season
After a particularly rambunctious week on the events calendar, things are slowing down now as we barrel toward to the holiday season. Things are getting a bit quieter at the breweries, but that tends to be fine with us. We just like going out and enjoying a good conversation with friends and a couple pints…
Beer Notes: The uncertain fate of Lizard Tail and more to kick off cloudy week
We received the first inquiry late last week, asking if we had heard anything about Lizard Tail Brewing closing shop. At that point, we had not, but as the weekend went along, a few cryptic social media posts and a lot of word of mouth certainly indicated that the brewery and its two offsite taprooms…
The Week Ahead in Beer: Everything is Halloween and that is OK
Since Halloween falls on a Thursday this year, the breweries and just about every other place around town have decided that the weekend before, not after, should be the one where we all gather to celebrate the holiday. Oh, there are other things going on out there, but the vast majority of events this week…
Hit the streets with NM Brewers Guild and local breweries for the Zombie Crawl
For the vast majority of us, this weekend is basically Halloween Weekend, with all the ghoulish delights popping up from house parties to special events at breweries, bars, and restaurants all around town. One of the best-looking new additions is the Zombie Crawl, a new event from the New Mexico Brewers Guild that combines elements…

Boxing Bear will host their annual DogtoBEARfest on Saturday at 11 a.m., which we’ll preview in depth later this week since we’re talking to them about their recent Great American Beer…
