4 Best Brewpubs near Ruidoso Downs

“Here is a Yelp review for Lost Hiker Brewing Company: I had a fantastic time at Lost Hiker Brewing Company! The best way to experience their variety of beers is through their flight - it allows you to sample all their offerings and find your favorites. For non-beer drinkers, they also have Sandia Ciders available, providing options for everyone. I was impressed by their collaboration with Noisy Water Wine, featuring wines like Tightly Whitey and Demigod. It's great to see a range of beverage options all under one roof. Lost Hiker Brewing Company allows outside food since they don't serve meals, but they do have snacks available for purchase. The atmosphere is lively with assorted games to keep you entertained. The highlight for me was the amazing merch and art for purchase, created by one of the talented bartenders. It's a unique touch that adds to the overall experience. Whether you're a beer enthusiast, cider lover, or wine connoisseur, Lost Hiker Brewing Company has something for everyone to enjoy!“

“Still my favorite brewery in Ruidoso. They deliver some solid standards and interesting delicious new takes like their Rye Belgian ale or their stout. The folks working there were also extremely friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back. Also they don't have food, but they don't mind if you bring something from one of the neighboring restaurants. I think the strong play is to get a slice from Rio Cafe, the excellent nearby pizza spot.“

“This is the place to be when you visit Ruidoso! The atmosphere is amazing the employees are so friendly and the FOOD, the food is so delicious and the wait time is not bad. We accidentally ordered the wrong fries and they were quick to fix it, VERY PROFESSIONAL. The beer is on a whole other level. Jamie and especially Tom were the best! They made our night. 10/10 recommend!“

“We enjoyed our visit for the most part. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is because we just didn't like the pizza. Kids shared a cheese pizza. After the first bite, the oldest declared it was the worst pizza he ever had. Everyone else had a bite and the consensus was that the crust was just meh. It tastes like water and flour were mixed together and dusted with cornmeal. The chicken bites were delicious, as were the fries. You get a lot in each order, so don't order one order per person. Greek salad was good, as were the sandwiches and beer. They do serve "regular" sodas, but they aren't listed in a menu anywhere. We got bottled sodas from the refrigerator by the ordering counter because we didn't know better.“
