san luis valley brewing company

This is the second time we have been here and thought we would give it another try. I can now say I will never eat there again. The first time we went the food was disappointing. Pasta with a too watery sauce. Patty melt overcooked and dry. Husbands sausage was decent. Second time just as bad. Fish and chips totally tasteless. Crab cakes greasy and overly fishy. Highlight was the appetizer spinach and artichoke dip. If this restaurant could pair a halfway decent meal it would be great as the atmosphere and beer are pretty good.

Brewery product was excellent and the food was quite good. Obviously a college town center of attention at 5 to 7 pm as evident from the good crowd and noise level.

It's a brewpub so no big surprises - beer and pub food. We stopped in while passing through town for lunch and shared a sandwich and sampled the brews via a sampler tray. I was quite taken with the Valle' Caliente Green Chili Lager and ended up buying 12 bombers to take home with me. Not content with that, on our way back from Denver the following month I made a special detour to stop in and buy another case!

Today March 8, my wife and I went to the brewery to taste the different beers. We ordered the Alamosa Lager and it was very good. I normally don't venture to far from my beer choices but I wanted to try something different. We enjoyed the beer. We had food, I ordered a hamburger and my wife ordered chicken quesadilla. After about 20 minutes of waiting I asked the waitess on . where my food was and she said it was about ready. After another 15 minutes I asked again she said they were busy and the food would be there shortly. I asked for the check so I could pay for the beer and leave. She was cleaning our table and my told her the beer was good. She ignored her and walked off. I did not like that and felt she disrespect us. Also while we waited anothe couble walked in and they also left with no service. Beer good/Service bad.

I stopped by SLVBC in early September 2013 and had a beer. I had their chilli pepper beer which had a great strong initial taste, but wore off quickly. The place was hopping and was a nice Colorado brewery type atmosphere. Something I liked about SLVBC was that I could buy beer to go. You can grab bombers, or 6-packs (including mix packs to try them all). Overall, the beer is good enough, and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. Being on Main St. is perfect too.

Great food, friendly atmosphere and local brews to satisfy any taste palate. Family friendly. Local favorite for get togethers with family or friends. Also a relaxing environment for business lunches.

Live music and local artists displayed on the walls. We sat out front because it was so packed that night, but still got quick and attentive service. Pub type food was very tasty. Great evening.

The SLV Brewing Company is a great place to be! The food is good, the brews outstanding and the company is great. The only thing that can be hard is the acoustics in the place, not really a good place to have a heart to heart chat or for people that do not like a noisy atmosphere.That being said, there is usually some fine music to be had and it is a favorite place for locals to meet.My favorite beer is the oatmeal stout which is brewed with nitrogen and is hearty and smooth. There are also craft brews, not always available. I really liked the kiwi beer, light and fruity but the green chili beer was not my favorite. I love their philly swiss portabella, mushroom sandwich.The pub is housed in a historic building which has great ambiance. A fun place to hang out.

Don't go here with kids especially...super slow service. This is a place to have a beer with a friend nothing more, nothing special as for food. Can not mix a drink....beer only

The beer was super tasty, the spinach artichoke dip was great. The chicken cordon blue was average but the bread pudding was amazing. Chris was awesome. We will definitely be back

Cute building, great beer "sampler," and excellent service. The fish was bland but the potatoes good.

Good selection of beer, nicely presented menu and a good choice. Attentive server staff. Look twice to find it on the main road.

Spent the night in Alamosa while driving from Mesa Verde N.P. to Sand Dundes N.P. Had dinner at San Luis Brewery. It was fun. The building was formerly a bank and it had a lot of character. Staff was young and entertaining, burgers and fries very good, and thier Alamosa Amber beer was delicious.Had low expectations in Alamosa and this was an unexpexted pleasant stop.

Good choice of beers (wish they had dry cider) Food is acceptable - a little pompous for my taste (I'm a meat and 2 veg.) Prices are reasonable - try to make it for happy hour 4 -6pm. Service is youthful. It is a place to meet people. Can be a little noisy. Non stop sport on TV which is a turn off for me.

All of the beers were good (ordered a sampler), but nothing that stood out as amazing. The best beer they offered was the kiwi beer. We ordered a mushroom pasta and a mushroom Philly sandwich. Both were good, but not remarkable. The spinach artichoke dip was REALLY good and came with pitas and chips. The service was fast.
