As many of you know, we hosted an event titled “To Live and Drink in the Borderland” back in September highlighting El Paso’s rich and varied history as it pertains to the brewing of beer. Because of the success of that event, we held Part II on St. Patrick’s Day. It was also a hit! Featured are some photos of the event.
