It’s a relatively quiet day by Beer Week standards, but that’s just fine, since for far too many of us it was back to the grind of work after the three-day weekend. There’s a special beer release, a sampling of a new brewery’s packaged offerings, a different sort of beer-and-cheese pairing, a full beer dinner,…

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: A fond farewell with Day Eleven
That’s a wrap, folks! ABQ Beer Week 2017 ends with a small handful of events, including the annual Guild golf tournament, plus a few brunches and food-and-beer pairings.

ABQ Beer Week: The 505 flows free on Day Three
After Friday’s events, we can understand if some of you want to take it easy today. Beer Week, though, has no concept of mercy, because it’s gonna be a big one. The 505 Collaboration beer is releasing all over town, O’Niell’s is throwing a Beer Olympics, Santa Fe is having a party, Rio Bravo is…
ABQ Beer Week: Pucker up for Day Two brews
Did you survive? Did you make it through all of it? No, not Day One of ABQ Beer Week, but the Penguins’ double-overtime victory over Ottawa in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Just ask anyone at Quarter Celtic last night, half the Crew almost died several times over. But, we digress, for it…
Upslope throws down for ABQ Beer Week 2017
Our previews for ABQ Beer Week continue with a few special events from Colorado’s Upslope Brewing.

Well, for those who second that notion, and for those who aren’t yet…
