Finally, Some Cask Beer Back on Tap!
Yessiree, it took a very small (but expensive) seal to stop the leaking, and then a lot of sleuthing to diagnose the chain of problems that followed, but we finally have one of our beer engines working. The key word is “finally”. We still have to follow all the hoses and check all the parts for the second beer engine — and we will — but for now, we have one that serves cask beer. We’re very happy about that. Our Dark Session Ale with Amarillo hops added to the cask is our first offering in way too long. It’s a session beer with surprisingly lots of flavor for being low in alcohol; the Amarillo hops added to the cask give it a whole different flavor and mouthfeel than the Dark Session Ale being served on tap. Get a pint of one, and then the other, and note the differences. And since it’s a “session” beer, you can have a l-o-o-ng session of beer enjoyment without all the alcohol!

St. Patrick’s Day Stout Party & 3RB Mug Club Kick-Off!
It’s true! The first day to join Three Rivers’ new Mug Club is at the St. Patrick’s Day Stout Party, and as an added bonus, all new members will get 10 Free Taster Tickets! Which means you can get 10 3 oz. tasters, or a couple of pints with a couple of tasters thrown in! For FREE. If you become a 3RB Mug Club member! Because it’s St. Paddie’s Day we’ll have a wonderful selection of all types of stouts from some of our best regional breweries in Durango and Albuquerque! Three Rivers will be serving a few of our own stouts too! There’ll be Dry Irish Stouts, Foreign-Style Stouts, Oatmeal Stouts, American Stouts, and Imperial Stouts. There will also be a couple of non-stout beers for those who have yet to develop their taste buds for that black elixir of the beer gods. Come and join us at the 3RB Banquet Hall from 5-10 PM on St. Pat’s Day, Thursday, March 17th.

The Pub is Back Open!
After five days of frantic cleaning, repairing, painting, refabricating, taking things apart and putting them back together, the Three Rivers Eatery and Brewhouse is back open! The new kitchen floor looks incredible; the old tile and subfloor have been removed and a new high-tech floor put in. And the kitchen equipment has been power-cleaned as well. All of the bathrooms have been cleaned and painted in Southwestern colors — turquoise for the men’s rooms and coral for the women’s rooms along with sponge-paint touch-ups on the lower walls. The restaurant has also been repainted, with more spongework on the the lower walls. The floor on the “new” side of the restaurant has been resealed not once, not twice, but three times. Everything has been taken out of the bar so it could be cleaned and the walls painted. Even the kitchen office has had an overhaul too! Come in and check it out!
