A while back, we brought up the question of what is the future of the off-site craft beer festival. Many of you, as well as folks in the industry, responded with all sorts of ideas as to how to keep these things going. One that we thought had promise was the themed or specialized off-site…

GABF 2019: Some final musings of a festival gone by
The 2019 edition of the Great American Beer Festival came to a close Saturday night, with the bulk of the New Mexico brewing contingent (and me) flying back Sunday afternoon. It was a heck of a time, again, and I still highly encourage every beer geek to find a way to go at least once…
Weekend Beer-cap: From wonderful Marblefest to the woeful Lobos and back to Denver again
This was one of those weekends where most of us should have been in recovery mode, but the beer events (and metal shows) would not allow us to rest. For me, the in-town fun was this past Thursday, when I took a trip out to Turtle Mountain to celebrate owner Nico Ortiz’s “39th” birthday and…

Homage to Metal: The great pilgrimage to Denver ’15

No seriously, these were a veritable swarm of all sorts of insectoids smashing and crashing against the car. Wait until you see the goddamn locusts! But I digress, it was a warm sunny day when…
Metalheads rejoice! TRVE Brewing is your new destination
Stoutmeister here. Porter Pounder went up to Denver in between movie gigs, or possibly on his days off, the rest of us are never quite sure. Either way, while there he discovered a fairly new brewery that taps into our group’s metal-loving souls. Now that he has another brief break in filming, he sent in…
