    You know, I’m really enjoying these things. You should make cards to include in six-packs, like baseball cards in gum. Collect the whole set! (But maybe I’m just trying too hard to look for an excuse to buy beer.)

    Ah, my beloved Home State! Along with Jim Koch and Pete Slosberg, it was Eske’s in Taos that introduced me to real beer back in the late 80’s.

    I was just home for Christmas and REALLY enjoyed the Marble Brewery beers my brother keeps on draft at his house. I’ve no idea how they slipped under my radar this long.

    I’d also expect nothing but fantastic beers to come out of the brand new La Cumbre Brewing in Albuquerque.
