Another Monday means another week of work that saps your will to live. Let the thought of that first after-work beer grant you the serenity to make it through this workday without snapping. You have an even better reason to drink this week, other than the fact that your job drives you to it: May 16-22 is American Craft Beer Week. Started in 2006, American Craft Beer Week celebrates all the good that craft beer brings to our world. It has grown from 124 breweries hosting events in its first year to 341 breweries participating in 2010, hosting 621 events- and that was with 45 states involved. This year, all 50 states (not sure about Puerto Rico or Guam) have breweries that will be celebrating in some manner. New Mexico's official entries are the May 19th Chama River beer dinner, featuring beers like Vanilla Creme Ale and HopSlap IPA, and May 21st's Bock Fest, held at Santa Fe Brewing Company.
Unofficially, however, this is also the week where Marble Brewery will tap Sephira, the first release in its Funkified Series. Sephira is a barrel-aged blend that's chock-full of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus, sure to provide a fix to you sour beer junkies. Sephira will be tapped either Wednesday or Thursday. Show your support for American Craft Beer Week by visiting Marble and our other fine breweries.

It appears as if this has been tapped?!
It wasn't at the time you wrote that, but it should be on today.
I just celebrated with pints of Adobe Stout and Bosque Steam at Hallenbrick on Wednesday. Woots.
Had a couple Sephira's yesterday, and thoroughly enjoyed them.
