Oof, nothing like getting home at midnight after seven-plus hours of driving, struggling to fall asleep due to copious amounts of caffeine, and then you wake up the next morning and have 20 things to do in little to no time. So as much as I would like to crank out a story on the ABQ Brew Dash or the Duke City Pedaler, I would also like to give ...

Local homebrewers show their support. Chris Goblet keeps his promise. And the Santa Fe Dining folks come out to salute their brewer. Last Thursday, Blue Corn celebrated James Warren’s anniversary at a special Thursday at the Brewer’s Table. It’s been one year since young James has taken the reins at Blue Corn Brewery. When a f ...

The spacious Sister Bar will be filled with sour beer lovers on April 11. (Photo courtesy of Sister) Sour beers are the final frontier of the industry for a lot of folks. For some people, they are a unique and cherished style, never to be missed when available. For others, they are a style to be avoided, so different from the rest of the beer u ...

So I finally had a chance to try two ridiculously good imperial red ales from our good ol’ Duke City, and man, are they just straight out-spaced, out-awesome! I procured several bombers of Marble’s gold medal-winning Imperial Red and then a brace of La Cumbre’s Imperial Red Ryeot to do a proper review, well aged and resinous t ...

T-minus two months and counting until the fun begins again. The schedule gods have finally smiled upon us. Well, me at least, as this year ABQ Beer Week has eight of its 11 days not conflicting with Isotopes games. Dear lord, I can actually attend events without having any minor-league managers shaking their heads at me. Instead, I’ll jus ...

Greetings, New Mexico craft beer lovers. Stoutmeister here with the reunified edition of The Week Ahead in Beer. This column covers all the breweries in Bernalillo and Sandoval counties, with Santa Fe’s four breweries and one newcomer down in Socorro also joining the party. We tried hard to keep the state edition going, but without partic ...

The good folks at Marble finished their taproom renovation on time and the old joint looks wonderful. It has a nice new bar smell and everything. Rather than try to explain what it looks like, here are a bunch of photos. It’s all nice and swanky inside Marble now. It just feels bigger and more spacious than before. Finally, two television ...

Say hello to your next local craft beer experience. One of the perks of this job, if you can call it a job, is to visit breweries before they open. That often means trekking through skeletal buildings, talking about what might be coming in the weeks and months ahead. Sometimes, though, you get to show up and the beers are ready for sampling. Su ...

Welcome back to tap, old friend. Santa Fe Brewing just tapped their famous Irish Red Ale for the season. They threw a big party in celebration, and believe me, if you’ve ever spent any time, at all, with the Irish, you’d know to tell them that the “craic” was good, indeed! Hey, if you’re gonna embrace your Irish si ...

If this isn’t barleywine weather right now, we don’t know what is. Blue Corn Brewery has been doing a few things very well recently. As a ‘beer journalist,’ it makes me glad to see a smaller brewery work so hard at all aspects of their business, whether it’s their food, service, beer, or planned events to further t ...
