My wife, puppy and I stayed overnight in Socorro on our way home to Denver after visiting my Dad in southern Arizona. After wandering around the enchanting plaza from the Spanish colonial period, with its very informative displays of local political history (on the north side) and local military history and tributes to fallen heroes (on the south side) we popped our heads into Baca House Brewery but were told they weren't serving alcohol that day, so we went to Box Canyon Brewing and asked if they were dog friendly. Their answer was "if your dog is friendly, we are dog friendly." So we say down and ordered a pint, and several customers came over to pet our then-6 month old husky mix pup. We each ordered a sandwich (I don't remember the specifics) and got a plain unseasoned hot dog without a roll for the doggo. The staff was very pleasant, and the customers were friendly and chatty. They had some very funny signs on the walls that made my wife and me laugh. We will happily return when staying overnight or passing through Socorro again. read more

Box Canyon Brewing Company - Brewpubs Near Me - Socorro, New Mexico

What a find! We were staying in Socorro for a work trip, and we ventured out to Box Canyon on our last day as they had been closed most days we were there. It was a chilly night so there weren't a ton of people out and about, but the ambiance of Box Canyon was warm and welcoming and just what I was looking for. They had a diverse list of beers for such a small brewery, and wasn't able to choose just one. I did a flight instead (they also have smaller pours if you just want to sample one or two). We chatted with David, who I believe is the owner, and he was so knowledgeable and willing to share all about the brewing operation. It was fun to learn how he made each beer, and they were really good. I don't usually like an IPA, but I even liked the IPA! Multiple of us commented on how good the red ale was, and it was unique in that it looked kinda like a stout. The panini menu is also lovely, and it's nice to find something different from the other restaurants in Socorro. I would definitely recommend checking this place out before a lot of the others. read more

If you love groovy vibes, delicious food and bodacious beer you need to stop here!! Got a flight and a wrap! Now I am ready for smooth sailing on I 25!! read more

Box Canyon Brewing Company - My bodacious flight of beer! - Brewpubs Near Me - Socorro, New Mexico

Stopped in for a bite and a beer, but the kitchen was already closed. Darn, my fault for showing up so late. Sampled a few and settled on a pint of "Time of the Preacher Red." I travel around the US for work, and always try to support the local breweries wherever I visit. Box Canyon is a gem and I can't wait to get back and try their other brews. While there, I was greeted by the new owner, Robert, the staff, and a few patrons. All were so welcoming and friendly. Awesome place, worth the drive, you don't want to miss it! read more

The food was good- the Panninis were excellent. We found the restaurant going through town. The only brew pub open after 8 on a Sundays. The ambiance had a nice vibe.

This place is a gem. We stopped in during our 6 week camping trip through NM and TX and are so glad we did. We tried a variety of the beers and settled on the Optional Disorientation IPA and the Red--both superb. Really rich profile on the red especially. Also had lunch and we're very happy--my chicken/artichoke panini was extremely fresh and the caprese wrap my husband had was delicious. Every single person with whom we interacted was helpful and welcoming. Plus, it was open mic afternoon so we got some great music! Family-friendly atmosphere, clean and comfortable, this is what a brewery should be. Kudos to Dave and Paula and best of luck! We took some growlers with us and will stop in next time we're through. read more

Stopped in on our way to Roswell. Had a great sandwich and a local beer made in-house. It's definitely worth trying out if you're in the neighborhood. Great music and service, too! read more

We stopped in the plaza to charge our car and the brewery was across the street. We decided to check it out and it did not disappoint. The beers were a plenty and delicious. The place is small and quaint. The owner is present, friendly, and taking care of its customers. We got there early evening and was just us and another patron. The amazing duet began the music and within 30 min, the place was full. The menu is limited. Mainly wraps and salads. They did have a black bean pie that was delicious. But the vibe and the beers more than makes up for it. If you're driving through town and want a good craft brew, this is the place. read more

Great little place! Stopped by after an afternoon at the Bosque del Apache. Great IPA and decent selection of other bees. Good paninis and salads. Nice ambiance and extremely good service. Highly recommend! read more

Very good beers. Definitely a great place to have a craft beer. Very good beers. That's what they do. The staff and everyone there were wonderful. Great ambience, can't beat it. Seems like it's pretty close to "where everybody knows your name..." But... everything else is pretty expensive. Club soda - fuggetaboutit Popcorn - as Dana Carvey says- "wouldn't be prudent". (Got ...plain ol' homemade popcorn? ) Some of the dishes are inventive, and very tasty, but the portions are EXtremely small, and it just seems like they haven't figured out how it all fits yet - how to price things and also provide a value. If I'm going to have a "meal," I need to feel at least "somewhat" satiated afterwards. (Add beans, potatoes, rice, ...that filler stuff that restaurants always do... or.... bag the "meals" and just stick to snacks. Tapas? (Good ROI) I left with a wonderful, malty afterglow on my palate, yet, looking for a place to go get something to eat to top off the evening. Lotaburger. Letdown... I wish them the best of luck. Seems like a very promising start. read more
