The times, they are a changin’, and in this case we point to the slimmed-down ABQ Beer Week. Gone are the days when folks had to pick and choose between multiple events happening at the same time. For all that change, however, one thing remains constant — Tractor Brewing hosting an event almost every single…

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…
Tractor welcomes a return to normalcy in both brewing and hosting events
Oh, it is that time of year again. For those who have not followed us in the past, welcome to the first entry in our annual Look Back/Look Ahead Series. At the end of every year and into the start of the next, we sit down with as many breweries as possible to discuss how…
The Week Ahead in Beer: A month of charitable brews continues
November has already seen the release of the charitable collaboration SereniTEA Now at Canteen, High and Dry, and Steel Bender to benefit the Agora Crisis Center.

Tractor had to bring back Stranger Things Arcade Carnival at full strength
Halloween weekend is truly back to normal in Albuquerque, and for proof, all one has to do is to return to Tractor Wells Park on Saturday night for the Stranger Things Arcade Carnival & Bazaar. After returning last year in a scaled-back format, it will reclaim the title of biggest event of the year at…
Oktoberfest-a-palooza: Rounding up all the events statewide this weekend
With the actual Oktoberfest back up and running in Germany, it only made sense for just about everyone else to start doing their own versions of the annual beer-filled event all around the world. In New Mexico, this weekend alone will see five different Oktoberfests in five separate towns, so we figured it behooved us…
Great NM Beer Festival holds a first competition between local breweries
For the first time in a long while, an all-New Mexico breweries competition was held in advance of Saturday’s Great New Mexico Beer Festival. Local breweries competed for three medals in each of four categories, with a different brewery claiming gold in each category. Well, almost, since no gold medal was awarded by the judging…
ABQ Beer Week: Get a good education in all things brewing on Day Ten
Well, first up, apologies for not posting a Day Nine preview on Friday. Between beer flights at Levante Brewing, and … well, that alone explains most of it. If you are ever in the suburbs of Philadelphia, make sure to hit up this place, or add it to your next beer shipment. Anyway, the only…
ABQ Beer Week: Go nuts for donuts and brews paired together on Day Eight
It’s another fairly quiet night on Day Eight. Well, unless you love donuts and beer. Then you may be shouting to the heavens with joy at the news that Tractor and Rebel Donut are teaming up again, this time with pairings at all the taprooms. They did it at one last year, and it sold…
ABQ Beer Week: Breweries keep things quite cozy on a quaint Day Seven
