Day Ten pushes us closer to the end. (sniff) The end is almost here. It’s OK to be a little melancholy about Beer Week being almost over. After all, you will only have our 30-plus amazing local breweries to keep you happy through the rest of the summer. Oh, darn. Anyway, all sarcasm aside, there are a lot of varied events today, with plen ...

Day Nine calls upon everyone to pucker up once again! The final stretch of Beer Week begins with a number of varied events tonight. Topping the list is the fourth annual Tower of Sour at Back Alley Draft House, which is going to be bigger and more festive than ever before. There will also be special events at both Tractor locations, a special t ...

Day Eight features the local beer geeks taking center stage with their own brews. Four years ago, the Dark Side Brew Crew stunned everyone (mostly ourselves) by winning the inaugural Battle of the Beer Geeks at Tractor Wells Park. Then, the Babes in Brewland kicked our butts two years in a row. Well, the time has come … for all of you to ...

Greetings, New Mexico craft beer lovers. Stoutmeister here with The Week Ahead in Beer. This column covers all the breweries in Bernalillo and Sandoval counties, with Santa Fe’s six breweries, one in Los Alamos, and one in Moriarty also joining the party. Stoutmeister puts on his serious face to handle The Week Ahead in Beer. ABQ Beer Wee ...

Day Seven features real ale, more tappings, more tastings, more food, more fun. We are past the halfway point of Beer Week, but it is hardly time to slow down. Today’s events are mostly of the special tapping/sampling/tap takeover variety, scattered all over town. There will also be a mini cask festival at Quarter Celtic, a beer-and-food- ...

Day Five is the ultimate take-it-easy day for your body, but we will still challenge your mind. Now that the holiday is over, Beer Week starts to crank back up again with nine big events. Today will feature an epic tasting at Jubilation, but also a whole lot of beer-and-food combo events. There will be beer with Taco Tuesday, beer with food tru ...

The sour power hour runs strong across Day Two! 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, ...

This is the look of a man who’s about to be rather busy over the next 11 days. Local favorite Jubilation Wine & Spirits is known for their frequent tastings of new and rare beers. So, how are they going to make things special for this year’s Albuquerque Beer Week? I spoke (technically emailed) with beer manager and Brew Crew eme ...

Here we go again. Eleven days of beer goodness starts today! All right, people, it’s go time! Make sure you have your Lyft and/or Uber accounts up to date, and then start checking off the events you can’t miss. The Crew will be here for you every day with info on every single event. We also have separate previews for the events at P ...

Our previews for ABQ Beer Week continue with a few special events from Colorado’s Upslope Brewing. Many of us have tried Upslope now since they’ve been available in New Mexico for a couple years, so we know they make good, solid beer. Well, for those who second that notion, and for those who aren’t yet in the know, there will ...
