@Fadez I've been in the Santa Fe/ABQ area since 2006. Back and forth to Colorado and Texas too. When I joined the forum in 2011, I was at UNM. Also worked a summer job at La Cumbre Brewing too fwiw.
But I've never heard of High & Dry! That's not saying much but still interesting to know.
And I've never eaten at ANY of those restaurants. This is valuable information. Thank you!
How do you know ABQ so well?

Martin House rocks - did you get any of the pickle beer??

Coincidentally, I drank a Martin House beer last night- True Love raspberry sour. Pretty good, if you like the style.
I'm looking forward to seeing your Big Bend experience. I've wanted to go down there for a few years now for a trail race, but events conspired against me both times I signed up for it. Maybe someday…

@Chris that race looks awesome (10k for me please). Maybe one day for me too.
He pickle beer was recommended to me but I wasn’t sure. Is it good? The pretzel stout is very pretzelly. It’s good. I got two other styles, a black currant sour that is super sour and a double red IPA that is really good. My daughter made me leave the beer store in Texarkana because she was terrified of their Halloween decorations so I was sorely in need of beer. Specs in Waco had what I needed. Katie was in the fridge yesterday and said “Why is the fridge 33% beer?” I guess she meant that as a bad thing. I loved it.

Yeah, the Pickle beer (and subsequent spicy pickle) is phenomenal. If you like
Pickles - salty, Briney, good bite, but smooth.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New Braunfels Brewing Co. also does a really popular pickle beer- PKL FKR, plus a couple of variations, like Hell Yeah, which includes jalapenos. It's not widely distributed, but if you can find it, it might be worth a try. In general, I like NBBCo. beer a lot. Very Seldom Naughty is excellent.

Fantastic. Thank you!
So far Coleman is awesome. The small towns on the way in including Santa Anna were totally adorable, as any self respecting small town should be. Excited to check those out. The campground is the nicest one I’ve ever stayed at. It’s huge. I’ll get some pictures up today. The sign on the bathroom door warns it’s fawning season for the deer so if you see a baby deer chilling all by itself don’t approach it because the mother is nearby. So far I’ve seen more deer than people, but no fawns. Also, I’ve seen tons of pictures of the milky way in the night sky, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it. Alas my iPhone will not provide a clear enough picture for you.
