A New Year, and a New Brew
With over 40 breweries (and just as many wineries) in our state, New Mexico is quickly captivating the public (and national!) palate. Our local artisans are crafting new and award-winning concoctions statewide, and what better way to tipple than slopeside, right here in the southwest. Here are just a few upcoming, weekend events to satisfy even the most discerning of drinkers:
