A seventh anniversary does not sound like a reason to go all-out and party for an entire week. This is Marble Brewery, however, and “go big or go home” might as well be their (other) mantra. All week long there will be something special going on at one of their three locations. To help out…

Lo, the imperial reds doth battle for Burque supremacy
So I finally had a chance to try two ridiculously good imperial red ales from our good ol’ Duke City, and man, are they just straight out-spaced, out-awesome! I procured several bombers of Marble’s gold medal-winning Imperial Red and then a brace of La Cumbre’s Imperial Red Ryeot to do a proper review, well aged…
ABQ Beer Week looms in just two months
The schedule gods have finally smiled upon us. Well, me at least, as this year ABQ Beer Week has eight of its 11 days not conflicting with Isotopes games.

Beer Notes: Marble looks marvelous, 3 IPAs advance, brewer change pending

And new breweries will keep opening. Albuquerque Brewing Co. currently has their first lineup of beers in the fermenters and the bright tanks. They could…
Renovations are underway at Marble’s downtown pub
Power tools and hard hats are nothing new around Marble Brewery, which has already seen major recent renovations to the patio and the bathrooms, with the brewery expansion still to come. Before that happens, however, the pub/taproom at the main brewery will get a much-needed makeover. Beginning today (Monday) and running until March 6, the…
Summing up the year that was and the year that is in the local beer scene
I meant to write up a final summation of our annual Look Back/Look Ahead Series last week, but I was holding out hope we would get the last breweries done. Alas, it was not to be, as they (Broken Bottle and Pi) never responded to Franz Solo’s interview requests. So we finish this series with…
