The Week Ahead in Beer: The new face of Turtle Mountain

Greetings New Mexico craft beer lovers, this is E-Rock, back to bring you this installment of The Week Ahead in Beer. This column is hand-crafted to keep you up to date on all of the seasonal beers, news, and events served up at breweries and taprooms in New Mexico.

When Turtle Mountain Brewing Company recently hired Tim Woodward as their head brewer, they did so with an eye toward revamping their recipe list. We are now starting to see Tim’s imprint on Rio Rancho’s oldest brewery. TMBC’s Oku Amber and Hopshell IPA are the first of their new house beers to come online. They are dialing in efficiency so alcohol and IBUs may drift around a little, but Oku and Hopshell will always be on tap from now on. So while you are eagerly awaiting the launch of all of the new breweries set to open in New Mexico this year, don’t forget that there is already something new brewing in Rio Rancho.

Right now in the Duke City, La Cum
