Shelly Quartieri - Cold Beer aka Colfax Tavern

Cold Beer, NM "Where not much happens but you better be here when it does." Cold Beer, also known as Colfax Tavern & Diner is a community hub where Philmont staff and participants find comradery and conversation among the hills we call HOmE. In 2016, Shelly and Danny Quartieri became the fourth owners of the infamous Cold Beer.  Shelly discusses familial ties to Northern New Mexico, the story of how Colfax Tavern got named Cold Beer, and her love and respect for all the Philmont "kids" that have become like family to her.   Cold Beer offers more than spirits and libations, they also host a variety of events including their annual Honky Tonk Hodgepodge, cornhole tournaments, and more.Today Shelly and Danny live at their Vermajo River Ranch in Maxwell, NM where in 2008 they founded Riding On Faith, a Christian based bull riding camp.  They are grateful and humbled to be "Parents away from home" to the many seasonal staff members who frequent their beloved bar.  Cold Beer, NM "It's in the middle of no where, but has people from everywhere."
