The end is almost here. It’s OK to be a little melancholy about Beer Week being almost over. After all, you will only have our 30-plus amazing local breweries to keep you happy through the rest of the summer. Oh, darn. Anyway, all sarcasm aside, there are a lot of varied events today, with plenty…

The final stretch of Beer Week begins with a number of varied events tonight.

ABQ Beer Week: The battle to be great dominates Day Eight
Four years ago, the Dark Side Brew Crew stunned everyone (mostly ourselves) by winning the inaugural Battle of the Beer Geeks at Tractor Wells Park. Then, the Babes in Brewland kicked our butts two years in a row. Well, the time has come … for all of you to probably vote for them again. But,…

ABQ Beer Week: Pucker up for Day Two brews
Did you survive? Did you make it through all of it? No, not Day One of ABQ Beer Week, but the Penguins’ double-overtime victory over Ottawa in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Just ask anyone at Quarter Celtic last night, half the Crew almost died several times over. But, we digress, for it…
Charting out an early plan of attack for ABQ Beer Week
We are T-minus one month and one day until the annual madness of ABQ Beer Week is upon us once again. The Crew received a copy of the final printed schedule that you will soon be able to find (almost) everywhere there is craft beer. More events figure to be added between now and May…
Bombs away! Prairie rolls into New Mexico
Some astute eyes on social media may have spotted a teaser from Favorite Brands NM last week that Prairie Artisan Ales is coming here. Well, despite the lack of a formal press release, we can confirm that the popular Oklahoma-based brewery will be debuting today (Tuesday) with five of their beers on tap at Nob…
Nob Hill becomes beer epicenter of this weekend and beyond
Oh, Nob Hill. You wonderful little place, except for your lack of parking. Home to three taprooms, several beer bars, and that place with the nice patio. This Saturday, it will also be home to one small-but-awesome event, and one very large event. Then comes Tuesday, with another small-but-awesome. First up, Ballast Point will be…
