You don’t gotta go home, but you can’t drink here anymore. Editor’s note: None of the rest of us in the Crew could make it to the Steer before it closed, but AmyO from the Bullpen was able to file one last story from the west side establishment.

Amusing tidbit about this photo: Barbie said it was the only time all week she didn’t have a Marble shirt on, so she moved my beer glass into the shot, because the giant logo behind her just wasn’t enough.

This is Marble Brewery, however, and “go big or go home” might as well be their (other) mantra. All week long there will be something special going on at one of their three locations. To help ou ...

The future home of Santa Fe Brewing’s first Albuquerque taproom is coming together.

Read More »Going nuts for hops, not slots, in Las Vegas
Hop Nuts is the newest brewery in Las Vegas. Finally, a new brewery near Las Vegas Boulevard! We never have a car in Las Vegas, so when we are there we have to rely on foot power to get us to our next beer. We like Banger Brewing downtown (although it’s a little overpriced), and can rely on Triple 7 in Main Street Station for happy hour b ...
Read More »Beer Notes: Rejoice, all the brewery bills have been signed
