Somehow in the “What’s on tap” feature we neglected to tell everyone to “Come on and take a Freeride” APA from Alaskan Brewing. How that musical connection with The Edgar Winter Group was missed is beyond us, but hey it happens. The connection that we hope is not missed is between a great…
New Mexico’s oldest microbrewery brings us our latest seasonal beer to the tasting table. The Freestyle Pilsner from Santa Fe Brewing also checks another box for us as it helps us continue our search for a great beer in a can. What could be better during the summer then being able to head…
