ABQ Beer Week 2015: Reviewing the Beer, Cheese, & More at Marble
Editor’s note: This is the first of our correspondent reviews of key Beer Week events that the Crew members were not able to attend. We called upon Kristin of the ABQ Craft Beer Drinkers Group to give us the lowdown on how things went at Marble. Needless to say, aside from the weather, it was…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: The beer abides on Day Two, dudes
The rain be damned, that was a pretty damn fine start to ABQ Beer Week on Thursday. Whether you were indulging in some beer and cheese (and other foods) at Marble, or snagging a pint of the Strawberry Cream Malpais at Two Fools, or the Oak Aged Wake Up Dead at Nob Hill Bar &…

2015 Outside Bike & Brew Festival in pictures
Everyone recaps events differently. Keeping that in mind, my experience of Outside Bike & Brew was entirely personal in such a way that it would take me several millions of words to really describe it to you. However, Stoutmeister would Force-choke me if I tried that. (You would be lucky if that was all I did when I’m buried in ABQ…

Greetings, everyone! Only a few days remain before the epic madness of ABQ Beer Week 2015 descends upon us. All the participating members of the NMDSBC have worked out what events we can attend and provide coverage of, but needless to say with 160-plus this year, we cannot get to all of them. So we…

As the Crew now has…
The Crew ran a 5K for beer and no one died
We are alive. That was pretty much the best summation of the Dark Side Brew Crew’s experience at the first ABQ Brew Dash on Saturday. A bunch of mostly out-of-shape beer writers ran 5 kilometers. Why? Hey, why not? As Franz Solo once said, “Fit, drunk, and stupid is the way to go through life,…
