High Desert Brewing Co.

We loved this little brewery! Our server was personable and attentive, offered tasters of the beers, and had an all-​around pleasant attitude. The beer was all decent; we ended up with a pitcher of the Imperial Red, which we both enjoyed. My husband got the wings, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and we split the small nachos – and STILL had some to take as leftovers.
We went back for a second visit on Superbowl Sunday (as it was one of the only places in town that was open!) and the service wasn’t as spectacular. The brewery wasn’t busy, but it took over ten minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. Once she did, our server was quite nice. We got the traditional quesadilla, which was delicious.
We intend to go back and enjoy the brewery’s patio now that it’s gotten warmer!

Great Brewery hidden in Las Cruces.
Greasy spoon type of café food. Perfect for drinking.

It’s not fancy or elegant. But the server and casual atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Beer was pretty good. I had a porter which was good. I prefer stout but unfortunately the didn’t have any. Food was good. Not gourmet, but definitely went well with the beer and atmosphere.
Prices were decent. A party of 4, each with a beer, $ 52.
Some stuff obviously was opening a container. One person got the vegetable plate and the humus was too cold an firm. Definitely not homemade.
We agreed we would definitely go back. Just need to choose your food accordingly.

Abstract: Interesting location, nice feel and good food.
Atmosphere: It is a house in a residential area. We arrived night and did not know where to park initially and then we discovered parking on the side of the building. There is outdoor and indoor seating. We choose to sit indoor, the feeling is warm with wood table and it feels fresh and new.
Product: It is a brewery so I had to partake in some adult beverages. I had a pint of the Oktoberfest, Pilsner, and the Steam beer. The beer was good, it is about on par with many mirco-​breweries. Non of the beers were outstanding, but out of the three I enjoyed the Steam beer the most. Food: I ordered wings and sweet potato fries. The price on the wings was really good and I was very impressed with the quality and the mass of the wings. The flavor was good. Pretty dang good wings. Sweet potato fries were good, but not the same caliber as the wings.
Service: When we walked in we were told that the kitchen closes in 8 minutes. (we arrived shortly before 9pm). We almost didn’t stay due to that fact, but the bartender/​server came over quickly and explained that everything was fine and he would be back to take our food order. Although we did feel a bit rushed, it was not the fault of the establishment, we arrived late. The service was swift and attentive.
Conclusion: If I travel to Las Cruces again I will most likely go here again to try some other beers and get some wings! If you are visiting or you live in town and haven’t been here, it is worth checking out.

Stopped in coming thru Las Cruces. I had the Green Chili Cheeseburger with Garlic Fries. Couldn’t taste garlic on the grid at all, burger was great. My son had the veggie burger w/​o the bun which he enjoyed. My other son had the Smoked Turkey Guacamole which he was disappointed with as this was deli meat slices. Root beer was delicious. Grandpa was not happy it’s the red chili.
Oh, the large nachos is LARGE!!! What a surprise. It small for 2 people. Lesson learned.
Be ready for a long wait. Service was good but the large nachos took 20 minutes.

My girlfriend and I often reminisce about a really nice evening here after a trip to White Sands. It’s just got a cute small town atmosphere with excellent service. The green chili cheeseburger isn’t amazing, and neither are most of the beers, but there’s just something about the charm of the joint.
The cheesecake is stellar, and only $ 2 a slice!
