All right, just imagine that Red Door sign in the middle completely redone in neon for their new taproom. Funky, huh? The seemingly never-ending expansion of the local brewing scene includes not just new breweries, but existing breweries opening taprooms left and right. Even though they just celebrated their first anniversary, Red Door is joini ...

They may be serious when it comes to brewing, but when they’re off the clock Justin and Kaylynn are anything but overly serious. Last week I got the chance for a two-for-one interview with our two local brewers who brought home silver medals from the Great American Beer Festival. Kaylynn McKnight of Nexus and I traveled over to Boxing Bea ...

The bar inside Vernon’s Open Door in the old Stumbling Steer space. It was a sad time for the west side earlier this year when the Stumbling Steer stumbled off into the sunset. Recently we learned that the new owners (the people behind Vernon’s and Wise Pies) opened a restaurant and bar in a portion of the building. What better time ...

With beer tickets in ...

Get your hop bomb fix, all in one place. Hop harvest season is upon us, in case you have not noticed by all the pictures of brewers stuffing their noses in mounds of fresh-picked hops that are floating around social media these days. Of course, one could argue hop season is year-round in New Mexico, judging by IPA sales remaining steady even in ...

Fate Brewing has opened a second, bigger location in South Scottsdale. Editor’s note: While it does receive the attention of Arizona Wilderness or a bigger place like Four Peaks or SanTan, Fate Brewing is one of the best breweries in the Phoenix metro area. AmyO stopped in during a recent visit to watch some terrible football game. (Woe b ...

Last year the Marble staff brought back some serious hardware from GABF. Who will be this year’s big winner from NM? In case anyone has been living under a rock of late, the Great American Beer Festival, that annual homage to craft beer, begins Thursday and runs through Saturday in Denver. In addition to the thousands upon thousands of be ...
