The Week Ahead in Beer: State Fair food fun comes early at Rio Bravo
One of the highlights of September, going back all the way to when some of us were kids growing up here in Albuquerque, was the start of the New Mexico State Fair. It meant a day or two off of school, the midway rides, and copious amounts of tasty food treats. Back in 2020, the Fair was canceled by the pandemic lockdown, so the good folks at Rio Bravo decided to at least try to recreate some of the food favorites. They knocked it out of the park, and even after the Fair came back, the patrons at Rio Bravo kept demanding that they continue to roll out the turkey legs, donut burgers, ribbon fries, fried ice cream, and more. With the Fair starting in less than two weeks, Rio Bravo is picking this holiday weekend as the time to roll out their special food items. Stop by this Saturday and Sunday to enjoy some Fair food, live music, beer, and more all day. There is no cover, and plenty of room inside and outside (weather permitting). The parking is free, the lines will be short, and there is no judgment if you order a second funnel cake.
