For years now, there’s been a lot of brewing going on at the corner of Toole and Seventh Avenue. Now, Borderlands Brewing Company is ready to celebrate its 11th anniversary with a block party from noon – 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 9.
Aside from pouring cold pints of their own beer, there’s going to be 11 other local and regional breweries setting up shop outside at 119 E. Toole Ave. Lovers of craft beer can expect live music, too, and local food trucks parked in the perimeter.
In the past, other anniversary celebrations have sold out rather quickly, so you’ll want to purchase your tickets on the sooner side of later.
General Admission tickets are available for $40, which gets you in at 1 p.m. and includes 20 three-ounce pour beer samples. They’ve also got a VIP ticket, which lets you come in earlier at noon, includes 20 three-ounce pours, a commemorative event sticker, and then automatically entered into some raffle giveaways.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
