Carmen Duran was an amazing woman. She started as a bootlegger during prohibition and then when she was 100, she started going to local breweries in New Mexico. The brewing community embraced her for the next two years. She became the Hoppy Grandma of the New Mexico brewery scene. The Duran family decided that the best way to say thank you to this amazing community is through this scholarship fund.
