ABQ Beer Week: Day Nine brings the funk straight from Barrelworks
It’s kinda weird that a Friday would end up being the quietest day of Beer Week, but here we are. There are just four events today, and one of those is actually just a monthly event that happens to fall during all of these festivities. At least each of the four looks fun, especially for…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Eight battles for supremacy
If you are reading this, it means we survived the Insomnium show in Denver last night. As you read this, we will be flying back down Interstate 25, because there is beer business to take care of in ABQ. After all, we’ve got Battle of the Beer Geeks to attend, but it’s not the only…

ABQ Beer Week: Day Three brings out the ridiculous indulgence times 10
Anyone else get wiped out by the 21 and Over event at Sister last night? There were so many good beers, it took a big bite out of us. Nevertheless, we push forward for more! Nexus’ anniversary may loom as the dominant even today, but there are 10 total events, the most of any day…
ABQ Beer Week: Day Two goes big because it knows no other way
That was still a lot of beer on Thursday, but we gotta admit that we like limiting the number of events to 10 or less per day. It keeps us more focused, cuts down on our Lyft/Uber expenses, and so on. There are only six events today. Each one is a little different, yet we…
