Second Street brews up plenty of new beer goodness

Lately the Crew has been writing a lot on all the new brewers and new breweries in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. That does not mean that the news has stopped with many of our old favorites. The folks at Second Street Brewery up in Santa Fe contacted us about all the wonderful things that brewer Rod Tweet has been working on of late, so without hesitation I hopped in the car and drove on up this weekend.

Since the rest of the Crew were either working, playing music, or catching up on a month’s worth of missed sleep, my friend Erin tagged along as an honorary Crew member. She is from Albuquerque, but now lives down in Australia, where craft beer is hard to find. Even imported craft beer carries a ridiculous price tag (wrap your brain around $22 for a six-pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale). So needless to say, whenever she gets to visit, we inevitably end up at a brewery somewhere so she can remind herself of what good beer tastes like.

So what does Rod have in store for all of us?
