Picacho Peak Brewing Company

June 2, 2023 - Picacho Peak Brewery (Las Cruces, NM)This brewery is tucked away from the main road, W. Picacho Ave. There is a sign on the north side of the road down low and it's easy to miss. Once you see the sign, you still need to work your way back along a wide swath of dirt and past a chain link fence to the brewery parking lot. Once there, I still wasn't sure I was in the right place, but the vehicles out front were an indication. Even the entry to the brewery wasn't that revealing, but of course the logo on the right side of the building finally gave it away. Once inside, we made our way to the bar. Our server's name was Dahlia, and she was very attentive and got us started. She gave us some menus and some sheets to write down the beers we wanted for our beer flight. I got four of their IPAs and my wife got a sampler of their Porter. All of the IPAs were delicious and the Porter was great as well - Low alcohol, 5.7% ABV. We ordered some chips with salsa and queso. The queso had a little heat going on, which I liked. Ambience of the brewery and bar is rustic at best. There was what appeared to be a large 200 person capacity banquet room off to the side, but I didn't check it out. Maybe next time we'll have a look when we roll through.

GPS directions weren't helpful. This place is set back from the road, almost tucked behind a convenience store. After spending too much time finding the small sign, the place was gated and locked up. We checked Yelp and the brewery website and both listed open hours. Went into the convenience store and they acted like they didn't even know the place existed, let alone the hours. We had heard good things about the beer, but this was a disappointment.

Brunch with family. Great outdoor location and our server Zane was super friendly and recognized us from a prior visit! Got all our special requests correct. Try the mimosa bucket. Beer is always a favorite here and enough selection to satisfy all the different tastes in our group. If they have the Dona burger it's truly unique. Green chili burger with bacon and donut buns!

Great brunch, more great food then I could eat.Staff was outstanding along with service!

If you are an IPA drinker, go here. I'd say more than half their beers were IPAs. They did have 10 or so beers available and the pours in the flights were a decent size. I do notice most Las Cruces breweries give decent pours in their flights. I asked about growlers. the barkeep pointed at the three collecting dust on a shelf near the ceiling. he said those were what they had left and no one could reach them..ok. One less growler for me, I guess.It looks like they also have cocktails as there were bottles of liquor from Dry Point Distillery. And I saw local wine on the drink board as well. That's a nice touch. I have several friends who don't do beer and now I have a brewery they can share with me!They did not offer me a food menu. I did not see any of the patrons eating. So I can't speak on the food...or if they are even still serving food. There was a food truck out in the parking lot though. I'll go back but it's not my 1st choice in breweries in LC. Unless they have food and it's as good as the reviews here say it is. Then it might become one of my top 3.

Really good beers! Place is better than the showing rating. Really nice and attentive staff. Comfortable place to kick back and enjoy the breeze and view. Dirty blonde, Hefe, and Forbidden Fruit amongst our favorites. Definitely checkout it in area.

Came here last night with my mom and we both loved everything about the place. The ambiance, beer, service, and food were all incredible. My mom and I both ordered flights. My favorite beer in the flight was the Hefeweizen but enjoyed all of them. They had a few deals for Tuesday so we took advantage and ordered the beef flautas which were flavorful and came out quickly. All of the bartenders were extremely friendly and attentive especially Abbey! Although we did not eat outside on the patio, it was beautiful especially during the sunset as you have views of the mountain ranges. Oh and they had wonderful live music that wasn't too loud. We will definitely be back soon!

Wonderful place, wonderful owners, and wonderful times!Who can ask for more?'Nuf said!

Waited @15-20 minutes, never got service. Bartender looked at us a few times but was too busy visiting. Servers never looked at us as he was cleaning table right next to us

What a great place. Manager and staff were friendly and provided great service. Lots of beer to choose from. We liked all the samples we tried. We ordered the plain burger, wings, and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. All were delicious. We will definately be back. If you live in Las Cruces or just on vacation here, stop in, it is definitely worth it!
