Over the last couple of years, lots of brewing has still been going on. Dialing in recipes and techniques has been our focus. Sorry for the long hiatus!

Molé stout, Belgian Wit, and a Scotch ale on tap right now. Trippel in bottles and a SMASH Steam beer on deck. Steam has nothing to do with the way its brewed, but by using a lager yeast at ale temperatures. And SMASH is Single Malt and Single Hop beer. Isolating the flavors of malt and hops. Cheers!

A beer mans job never ends, even though I'm on vacation I still feel the need to share something of wonderment with you guys. While cruising the beer section I happened on a much sought after beer that we cannot get back here in Abq the ever elusive Dogfish Head. The one we have here is the 60 minute ipa, a beer that has been hop blasted for the entire boil which lends itself to a great hop profile, but still remains balanced butt souther malt they put onto this great beer, Prosit!

Can my new malted milk stout, which smells like soy sauce, and tastes slightly like soy sauce, be good? I will get back to you when i'm less drunk.

Burque Brew Crew hops are starting to pop up; Willamette and Cascade to name a couple. This with the (step by step) addition of a brew tree, we are looking towards an exciting summer. What summer beers or beer relatedness are You looking forward to?

Considering a small tasting in the near future featuring something hoppy, something red, something malty (in multiple ways) and something old and brown! Would there be any interest in that?

After a long hiatus I'm back.and back with a new edition from the boys up at the Ska brewery. Here is the next one in their seasonal stout program, its a chocolate mint stout...yes you read right. Thru couldn't call it an Andies mint stout due to copyright restrictions. No strong mint aroma upon first inspection and only after a few sips you start to pinpoint the very subtle mint character and the great malt character of a stout. It's a nice change to see in an ocean of mediocrity as of late from different breweries. Prosit to the Ska boys!

Nexus has change quite a bit. Feels more like restaurant now then a brewery, which is cool, but this page is about beer. This current beer is a casked imperial. Nice solid start, pleasant body, and a lingering fruity flavor. Fu***ng delicious.
