After driving for 15 hours, we finally stopped for the night, checked into our hotel, and…read moreimmediately realized we needed food before anything else. A few of the places recommended to us had already closed, but I had read that Junkyard had an amazing pulled pork BBQ sandwich. Since we definitely weren't dressed for anything fancy, I told my fiancé that a brewery sounded perfect. When we pulled up and saw that the place was veteran-owned, it immediately felt meant to be. My fiancé is a veteran as well, so that made it even more special. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and told to sit wherever we liked. We looked around for a bit but eventually settled at the bar -- and I'm so glad we did. While we were there, we ended up chatting with the bartenders and other patrons, and everyone made us feel genuinely welcome. After such a long day on the road, it felt less like stopping at a brewery and more like walking into a place full of friends. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better people. We'll absolutely be back!

We stayed here as a Harvest Host and had a nice experience. The service was great and very nice,…read morethe barbecue food was SO good and the ambiance interesting as this please used to be a junkyard/mechanic/auto parts store. It went from that to junkyard/brewery/food truck/auto parts store and now it's a junkyard/ brewery/barbeque inside and they might sell parts here now and again. They have it set up kind of quaint and worth the stop to check it out.

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.

We passed through Socorro during a long day on the road after visiting my father south of Tucson…read more We stopped in to Capitol rather than one of the other two breweries on the plaza to get a stamp in our Hop Passport. A very pleasant bartender seated my wife, our young puppy, and me on their very nice patio, and brought the pup a bowl of water without being asked, which we always appreciate. I ordered an IPA and my wife got a stout, as February is stout month at craft breweries all around the country. Both of us thought our beers were delicious and well balanced. To our surprise, there were ashtrays on several of the tables on the patio, and a man was smoking a cigar a few tables from us (smoking is banned inside and out at all business establishments in Colorado). The piped-in music was rather eclectic - everything from 70s classic rock to Shakira to modern auto-tuned pop. We had just had lunch in Hatch, so did not try the food. We have decided that we will spend the night in Socorro on an upcoming trip to see my dad, as the town looks like a lot of fun and we really want to try the other local brewpubs.

I got a flight of beers: the Green Chile Lager actually had quite a spicy kick (definitely an acquired taste). My favorite was the 49er's Oktoberfest Lager. The Hoppenheimer was a strong IPA with a 9.3% ABV, and the Ladrones Mexican Lager was crisp and refreshing. For food, I tried the Socorro Dog ($11). It's supposed to have bacon, but I couldn't really see or taste any. I liked the combo of shredded Gouda, green chile, tomato relish, and beer mustard. The poppy seed bun was also a nice touch. We also shared a 12 inch Supreme Pizza ($14.50) with olives, sausage, green chile, mushrooms, and pepperoni. I liked the thin crust. I also ordered the Birds of a Feather cocktail ($13) which had dark aged rum, Aperol, pineapple juice, lime, and simple syrup. I asked for a splash of Prosecco to make it sparkling, and it was indeed refreshing. They also have a pool table ($1 per rack) and a dog-friendly outdoor patio, which I always like to see. There's also plenty of board games to borrow. The only downside was that the bathrooms could use a little cleaning and updating. Overall though, this was a solid spot with good drinks and a chill vibe.

Bosque in the Limelight…read more Local brewery that saw its humble beginnings in 2010 by making just a meager 350 barrels in their first year of operation to now producing over 10,000 barrels, as well as sporting six locations throughout the Land of Enchantment™. We arrived just looking to try some local craft brews, a few small bites, and--more importantly--a few minutes away from my sulky, preteen boy. The Good: *This space is really nicely decorated and a chill place to hang. *Service was friendly and fast. *All the beers we sampled were friggin fantastic. Not a dud amongst them, but special big ups to the Super Blueberry Wheat, which was crisp, fruity and refreshing, and my personal favorite the Scotia which packed a nice punch at 8.4%ABV and had a terrific malty sweetness. *Green Chile Falafel Bites were surprisingly good. I'm pretty picky about my Falafel, and these were really great, but I'm not sure where the green chiles came into the equation, as we couldn't taste them. *Carissa had been dying for a salad, and their Santa Fe Chicken hit the spot. Fresh, light, and full of crisp veggies and grilled chicken. The Meh: *Overall the Green Chile Pork Stew was delicious and had good green chile flavor, but it was a bit of a salt lick. I'm not sure if it's one of those purposeful things to get me to drink more beer, but it worked. :0] *Three drink limit? I'm not sure if they're talking about mixed drinks (i.e., cocktails), beers, or both? Regardless, after my third delicious brew, I was pretty much tapped out anyway. The Ugly: *I'm not 100% on this, but I think this neighborhood is a little suspect, especially at night. Rule of thumb: Anything close to a Walgreens is almost guaranteed to be a little hoody. #ProveMeWrong TLDR: Fantastic beer, great food, and amazing service and atmosphere. What more could you possibly need? I'm very jealous of not living nearby. Until next time!

Rather it was the hearty atmosphere of camaraderie at the PAW-approved bar, a tradition that has become a rare pleasure, that kept me bellied up.

Lovers of farmhouse, saison, wild, mixed-culture, sour and innovative brewing in general, need to put this on their bucket list. The food isn't your basic brew-pub fare either. The kitchen puts as much craft and innovation as do the brewers. It's a working brewery, though, so don't expect anything more than friendly, relaxed atmosphere. There's more outdoor-ish seating than inside. I've experienced slight waits on busy nights, but it's always worth it. I'm not a resident, but I am a regular, and the friendly crew often recognizes me from my love of their beer and my enthusiasm for their commitment to the craft.

The downside of this brewery is that they don't always have a dark or darker beer. They produce those in small batches so if you have someone who prefers darker beer, there might not be one available so be aware. Also, you have to go order your drinks at the bar so if you want to be waited on, this isn't the place. They do do have a food truck if you want to order food.
