Join the Los Alamos Historical Society and the Creative District on for a special Wednesday edition of History On Tap at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 27 at UnQuarked Wine Room.
Chris Jackson, the author of Albuquerque Beer: Duke City History on Tap will be presenting on the origins of New Mexico’s craft brewing scene. This includes the arrival of the railroad and the first brewing boom of the late 19th/early 20th centuries, to the eventual reawakening of the independent brewing spirit on a Galisteo Ranch in 1988 and the beginning of the modern boom – with a certain brewery on the corner of First Street and Marble Avenue.
In honor of this event, UnQuarked is featuring the following local brews on tap:
- Slumdog Mango Cider – Sirphey & Black Mesa
