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!

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.

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.

The service is always good, the bartenders and servers are always nice and welcoming! Their classic beers are good, like elephants on parade. They haven't had any good seasonal beer for a long time now. The food was mid-uppermid but not bad for brewery kitchens. I got the Burris tacos without cheese because of health stuff. The meat was dry but the sauce was really flavorful and spicy. The salsa was super flavorless and the chips tasted kind of stale. The guacamole was better, but a bit too salty. Not my favorite place but would come back to give it a second try. It's just sad because the kitchen used to be really good 4-5 years ago and it was usually really busy on a Saturday, but it wasn't this time around.

They have since announced that they are changing locations and the new location promises to be better all around!) Have wanted to try RFA and sample some of their offerings. They didn't disappoint. RFA is SERIOUS about their craft. A tremendous amount of RFA as well as other regional brews to try. They curate their beer menu much similar to a fine restaurant puts together their wine cellars. Crazy that a brewery this small offers so many options! We were told their food was also very good, so we ordered the recommended green chile burgers w/ fries, a tuna salad sandwich and a Greek quesadilla. All were phenomenal! Service was very good. Their tiny taproom didn't have an available table so we sat on the patio. It was a tad hot but we enjoyed the vibe for sure. We tried Every Brewery Has A Paul, Stalker, and Fields of Rye farmhouse ales, and some Hyside Nordic Blonde ales. All traditional farmhouse style.

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.
