Muster all your strength and prepare for one of the wildest weekends we have seen since 2019. The big event of the weekend is LagerHosen, and I’m headed to interview the Ex Novo staff today, so we will have a full preview of that epic festival. If you were not one of the lucky few…

The Week Ahead in Beer: Giving back at home and overseas is a huge need
Between the war in Ukraine and the wildfires tearing through parts of New Mexico, there are a lot of people in need right now, and breweries are still stepping up to help. Downshift Brewing is releasing Gratitude Session IPA at Hidden Tap in Ruidoso now and at Outpost 1706 in Old Town soon, and $1…
Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery continues to gain ground in 2022
I hadn’t been to 32 Bisbee Ct. since Tumbleroot reopened their smaller taproom and started serving from it again in May of last year. Previously, the garage bay of their brewing facility was the only door of that location open to the public. Their Agua Fria space, one of the largest taprooms in town, had…
The Week Ahead In Beer: Did Somebody Say Imperial?

Yeah, it’s our kind of week. New Draft: Boese Brothers also joins this darker setting with Soul Stealer Extra Stout. (UPDATE) Bombs…

Well, Halloween is this Sunday, so the weekend is as chock-full as one would expect. Here is just about every Halloween-themed…
The beer festival makes a triumphant return in a proper autumn setting
We went to a beer festival this past weekend, and it was amazing. Oh, sure, we could have written that statement dozens (hundreds?) of times in the past, but since the pandemic arrived, we haven’t had the opportunity. The last sampling festival any of us could recall was WinterBrew in January 2020, while the last…
Ullr Fest: The show goes on!
The festival season has been a bit spotty the last couple years, of course, so you will hopefully be thrilled to hear that Ullr Fest in Los Alamos will be happening this Saturday, October 2. The annual event at the ski hill is meant to be a tribute to the Norse God of Snow, Ullr,…
Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery serves up New Mexican flair at the 2021 State Fair
It was just months before September, and organizers of the 2021 New Mexico State Fair had just been given the go-ahead to hold the huge event and were scrambling to put together vendors. Or at least, that’s the impression Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery got from the seemingly out-of-the-blue call asking if they could make a…
