Brewery Patio Bracket Round Two: The Battle of Burque rages on with no clear-cut favorite
The last couple of times our brewery patio bracket-style tournament hit up the Albuquerque breweries — divided by Interstates 25 and 40 into Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest (Downtown) regions — there was not as much separation as we expected. The Northwest had two at the top, but figuring out fourth place was difficult, while…

The second round of our brewery patio bracket-style tournament rolls along as we return to the offsite taprooms.
