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.

Only problem was that good time starts at 5pm, and only on certain days of the week. Middle of the desert, at the cross of nowhere and won't find your body for years, is this epic drinkery. Decked out with dollar bills lining the ceiling and occupied by some of the nicest locals we met on our trip. If you're in the area (which is impossible) or needing a great place to hang out on a weekend night, this is it. Of course it's the only option for many miles, but we were not disappointed. According to the owners, they have some great local talent that plays on certain evenings. They have an awesome little venue that looks like a blast when they have a band. We picked out a couple tshirts as souvenirs and one of the patrons purchased our drinks on his tab . I promised to return upon our next New Mexico trip. I'll be more than delighted to drive there again, especially for some music and to see what the crowd looks like. Overall, awesome venue. Loss of one star for the lack of additional party hours, expensive merchandise ($60) for two tshirts and wayyyyy out in there drive. Everything else was exactly like we expected and more.
