Rock & Brews celebrated Christmas in July and Kaktus made a … pickle beer?
Greetings, gang. This is one of those recap kind of stories, so it’s about some things you already missed. Sorry! I, your Los Alamos correspondent, actually got down to Albuquerque on a Thursday night. We were going down anyway, so we checked out a couple of interesting-sounding beer events. The first was Rock & Brews…
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…

Beer-hopping between 3 watering holes on Montgomery
As a part of the new DSBC series on beer bars, I volunteered to drop in to Sinners n Saints on the southeast corner of Montgomery and Eubank in the Northeast Heights. Unbeknownst to my editor (sorry, Stoutmeister!), I thought it might be kind of fun to do a crawl of sorts with the bars…
ABQ Beer Week 2015: All’s well that ends well on Day Eleven
