Icebox Brewing Co.

More than five stars! Every single part of our experience at Ice Box on Pikacho was 100% top-notch. We loved the spacious outdoor patio with two-top picnic tables and a view of the mountains on one side and the colorful sunset on the other. Everyone who attended to us was awesome! Choosing from a list of about thirty (!) beers on tap (all but one of which were still available) my husband and I each had a flight of four, and all of them were delicious! The TIPA was his favorite and the Las Cruces Common Ale was mine. As if that weren't perfect enough, the brewery offers a full menu from Jim Bob's BBQ. Our BBQ sandwiches were served on thick, toasted bread -- a bun will never feel right again. This bread provides a perfect counterpoint to the meat, and exactly the right amount of sauce was already applied, leaving plenty of room for experimentation with the EIGHT amazing sauces brought to our table in color-coded squeeze bottles: Original Ring Sauce, Beer Barrel BBQ, So-Carolina Mustard, Bama-Blanca BBQ, Sweet and Smoky BBQ, Chili Verde, Lexi Dipping Sauce, and Spicy BBQ. I heartily recommend the Ice Box Brewing Co to anyone who enjoys trying new beer and new BBQ tastes. Can't wait to visit again some day soon.

We found the staff very helpful and welcoming as we are not regulars here. A good selection of brews on tap. We had the Frostbite IPA (excellent) and the Icebox Light Lager (very good). The facility was super clean and interesting as this was an old ice house. Very good value for craft beer. We ordered food from the Ruby Soho Food Truck parked outside. The posole verde was excellent. The black bean green chili burger was okay. Should have just had the good old green chili cheeseburger. Very reasonable prices too.

Excellent and very wide array of craft beers to choose from. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The setup with the food truck was odd, but it worked well enough for good food to go with the beer. The highlights of what I had was the Monster Cookie Porter and the Double Milkshake IPA. The to-go options were also very helpful and reasonably priced. As for sheer satisfying beers that are creative or new, I think if I had to pick just one, I would choose High Desert over Icebox. However, Icebox is very very good still, and if Las Cruces only that Icebox, that would still be worth the drive. Just High Desert Brewing sets a very high bar.
