Hello a day early, as we wanted to make sure everyone has time to do their beer shopping before Thanksgiving. Our focus, though, is on the day after everyone gets gluttonous. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, so more than ever, breweries are refuges from all that consumer madness. And, one…

Rowley Farmhouse Ales opens ¡Salud! craft bar in downtown Santa Fe
Last Friday after work, I stopped by for the soft opening of ¡Salud! by Rowley Farmhouse Ales. As someone who’s permitted many beer events at the City of Santa Fe offices, I am no stranger to the Marcy Street area, and had no issues finding parking. There’s plenty. Relax. Stepping into the clean and serene…
The season begins just in time for SummerFest in Los Alamos
Summer took its time getting going this year, but now that the heat has arrived, it feels like the right time to head to the mountains to cool off. The timing is perfect, because Pajarito Mountain in Los Alamos is hosting its annual SummerFest this Saturday, with the beer festival from 1 to 6 p.m….
Tractor Brewing decides to have their own beer week worth of events
Just a few hours after we published our story saying good-bye to ABQ Beer Week last Thursday, an email popped up from Tractor Brewing’s events and marketing director, Jeremy Kinter.

Fête de la Funk: NM Brewers Guild’s first sour and funky beer fest set for Santa Fe
Do you love sour beers? No, really. It’s OK. You can admit it here. It’s a safe space. You’re amongst friends. So let me ask again, do you love sour and funk-forward beers and wish we showed them just a little more respect here in New Mexico? If you, like many others, find yourself often…
Rowley Farmhouse Ales endures hellish year only to emerge optimistic for 2024
For some, 2023 was a cozy fireplace in a mountainside cottage, full of warmth, bright beginnings, hope, and good cheer. For others, it was an absolute dumpster fire of a year. For Rowley Farmhouse Ales, though they may have lost their supply trailer to a devastating fire back in May, they were determined not let…
Blackest Friday ’23 is upon us
It’s not always easy to tell when stout season has come to Santa Fe. Some might say it begins with the first seasonal closing of a taproom patio. Some might say it arrives with the first frost-covered windshield. Some, with the first obligatory swarm of “It’s Snowing!” posts on Facebook. And for the Dark Side…
Rowley Farmhouse Ales celebrates 7th year in business with anniversary party
Rowley Farmhouse Ales opened its doors seven years ago initially under the name Sub Rosa Cellars. After changing their name to appease a slightly disgruntled distillery up north of a similar label, they survived the first few rough years when a brewery really needs to prove to the community what it is all about. In…
Beer Notes: Pint Glass day is nearly here and more brewers are on the move
Just a few rapid-fire items from the old beer notebook for this week. We kick off with the New Mexico Brewers Guild’s third Pint Glass Day, this time featuring a design with the Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout. The glasses will be released at multiple breweries statewide this Wednesday. Second Street’s creative director, Mariah Cameron Scee,…
ABQ Beer Week returns with an even more local vibe than in years past
It is almost the end of May, believe it or not, and that means we have reached the annual stretch where ABQ Beer Week returns to celebrate all things craft in Albuquerque. This year’s version is scaled back from the pre-pandemic era Beer Weeks, and rather uniquely features a local brewery at every event. No…
