NM IPA Challenge returns with a slightly adjusted opening-round format
The announcement went out on Tuesday, and hopheads across the state rejoiced, for the New Mexico IPA Challenge is returning to the land. Now 28 breweries will do battle, as all seek to remove the three-time king, John Bullard, from his iron throne. OK, fine, it is a bit of Game of Thrones there, but…
ABQ Beer Week 2016: That’s all, folks!
And so it ends. After 11 days, ABQ Beer Week 2016 comes to a close. The theme of the final day is kick back and relax, enjoy a final few tastings and pairings, and generally reflect on all the awesome that just transpired. A big thanks to the breweries, beer bars, and everyone else who…

Pajarito Summerfest: An alternative to Beer Week
So, you guys down in Albuquerque seem to be having a lot of fun with your “Beer Week” thing. Lots of events all over town, lots of beer … I can appreciate that. But, some of us don’t get down to Albuquerque very often as we are stuck up in the mountains. Well, we don’t…

ABQ Beer Week Recaps: Rockin’ the saison and changin’ the plans
Rock & Brews had a Tuesday Brewsday tapping of Marble’s Saison #1. We were on our way (more on this later) to an Isotopes game, so we made sure to stop by and to get there early for happy hour. The Saison #1 is a little bright and a little funky, both at the same…

Welcome to the single biggest day of Beer Week. Don’t believe us? Scroll below. Yeah, that’s 23 events. Twenty. Three. Now more than ever, you need a plan of attack. Go by time. Go by geographic location. Go by whatever you can do safely (if driving, or even Ubering). Just remember to carve out some…
ABQ Beer Week 2016: Rolling a lucky number on Day Seven
While I am out in California this week, I was reminded of two key things. First, traffic here still makes the worst I-25/I-40 messes you’ve ever seen look like nothing. Second, they charge $14 for craft beer at Angels games. For one pour. Not like multiple pints or a pint plus a flight or anything….
