The best New Mexico beers of 2014 in our humble opinion
As noted in the most recent edition of The Week Ahead in Beer, the Crew put out the call for everyone’s favorite beers from New Mexico breweries for 2014. The replies from our readers, not to mention from all of our writers, were fairly diverse. We’re not gonna do an ultimate ranking or anything —…

Second Street’s got one sweet can!
Last week I had the opportunity to watch some awesome history in the making. Santa Fe’s Second Street canned their first beer inside their brewery. “Why is that awesome?” I hear you asking yourself. Besides the fact that we can now pick up a canned version of their Pivotal IPA and take it along on…
Second Street brews up plenty of new beer goodness
Lately the Crew has been writing a lot on all the new brewers and new breweries in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. That does not mean that the news has stopped with many of our old favorites. The folks at Second Street Brewery up in Santa Fe contacted us about all the wonderful things that brewer…

Super Bowl of Stouts, new Tractor opening, new brewer at Bosque all equal one big weekend
Happy Friday, everyone! Stoutmeister here with a roundup of all the recent beer news and notes, plus a preview of this big “it-should-be-a-national-holiday” weekend. Yeah, it’s Super Bowl time, and at least this year there are two teams involved that not everyone in the Crew utterly despises. I’m rooting for the Seahawks, personally, but that’s…
WinterBrew 2014: The best brews of the fest
Another WinterBrew is in the books, and once again it was a successful event at the Santa Fe Farmers Market on Friday. The Brewers Guild sold out of tickets well in advance, and other than a few people accidentally dropping their sample glasses, it was a great crowd. While I personally missed that pizza joint…

T-minus one week till WinterBrew
It has to be said: It does not feel like winter out there. Hopefully that does not end up jinxing us all to a week of wind, snow, and ice, but this has been one mild winter. Nonetheless, in keeping with the spirit of what should be the season, the New Mexico Brewers Guild will…
