Our favorite brewery visit on this trip. Beers were all great and the tender was cool AF. They don't have a kitchen but there's tons of restaurants right around the brewery to get food from.

Popped in for a beer on way home. Had a Gingerbread Coffee Blonde that I loved. Love the chill atmosphere and the music. Friendly bartender.

This new brewery has some very delicious and innovative beers. The Kiwi Ninja was a top notch hazy IPA. No off flavors at all, just delicious. The Hangover is a deeply satisfying dark fruited ale, with huge blueberry flavor, balanced beautifully with the dark malts and robust 8% ABV. Also worth a mention was the mango fruited sour. Flavors of vanilla, oats, and mango. The oats give a beautiful creamy flavor and mouth feel.  Great brewery.  Dog friendly with great service.

I really enjoyed it here the beer was amazing, my son had the homemade root beer and that was really good. The food truck they had had some really good food.

places/ChIJI-vWRq5FE4cRNn-HqrCELFY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNndG91MTd3RRAB

Cool little craft brewery in downtown Colorado Springs.  Lots of fun touches like flights make from old license plates and tap handles made from wrenches.

In addition to the bar menu, they have an associated food truck that serves lots of tasty choices.

Somewhere around 20 different craft beers on tap, some nitro, plus craft root beer for the non beer drinkers.

This is one of the places that makes downtown Colorado Springs so much fun.

Mash Mechanics Brewery is a fantastic spot for both locals and travelers. The owner and staff are genuinely welcoming, making you feel right at home. The food is excellent, and the beer selection is top-notch. They’re also a great resource for recommendations on nearby hikes and other places to eat and drink. Definitely worth a visit.

Wife and I visiting from Texas, and with so many brewery choices locally, we’re so glad we stopped at WestFax! We were greeted by Morgan, and she was so sweet, kind, and made us feel so welcomed!! The beer selections were SOLID, the views were amazing, the outdoor space was awesome, and the music was so good!! Great beer and great service…what more could you ask for??!!!!

Came here on Sunday to celebrate St.Patrick’s early and it was a super windy day so we went from drinking outside to inside when the sun set behind the mountains. Due to the wind they couldn’t turn on the fire pits. I chose the Irish coffee stout, it was very strong and the coffee flavor was prominent. I was hoping it was gonna be thicker and creamier but no. While we were there a food truck showed up which was cool. Overall it’s a cool spot and plenty of beer options.

I love this brewery!  The customers, beer and bartenders are wonderful.  Ethan has been our bartender since opening and he is the best!  He’s authentic, hospitable, and really cares about people.  He seems to always know when you want another beer and will occasionally give you the answer to a trivia question.  This place wouldn’t be the same without him!

So happy to have found this brewery! Visiting from Texas we were looking for a low key dog friendly brewery and this place fit the bill! Not  only do you get great views of the mountains but you also get fantastic beer! They are also dog friendly inside and out which is great when the dogs need a relief from the sun for awhile! If you’re visiting and in the area definitely check this place out! It’s small but amazing!! The only ding would be the parking situation. It’s a little difficult to realize you need to park on the other side of the Wendy’s and walk, but it’s just a minor inconvenience.

My Women Who Love Beer went to Westfax. The owner was welcoming and personable. Please forgive me if I forgot her name. The beer selection was diverse and high-quality. I had the Urban Lumberjack and Western Lumberjack beers. The taste of both were true to their description. I especially enjoyed the taste of the Urban Lumberjack. I would like to mention that the wallpaper in the ladies room is spectacular!  I am a skier who grew up living in a ski town part of the year in Colorado. I can tell you the drawings took me right there. I realize this does not have anything to do with beer but the “kitch” was much appreciated by this gal!

Really great liquor store with a huge selection of specialty wines, spirits, and beer.. We appreciate that the staff were very helpful. We were looking for a very specific Sauvignon Blanc wine that we wanted to purchase and the staff looked on the computer to see if Coltrane carried that particular wine. They did not but they were very helpful and having us select another wine that would be comparable in taste and characteristics.. They also have a huge selection of snacks and specialty cheeses.

A Hidden Gem with a Heartbeat – Coal Train Delivers More Than Just Spirits!

But what truly sets Coal Train apart is the heart behind it—the owner. Their passion for quality, community, and customer care radiates through every aisle and interaction. It's rare to find a business where the owner is not only hands-on but also deeply invested in making every customer feel like part of the Coal Train family. You can tell they’ve poured their soul into this place—and it shows.

Support local. Shop with heart. And treat yourself to the Coal Train experience—you’ll be back again and again.

It's on my way everywhere. Every once and awhile I feel a little overwhelmed by the selection, but the stock is priced the way I like it. I've never stood in a line. Best of all, when they don't have what I've got in my head to get, they always,always give me a consoling explanation. Seriously, everybody there knows what's up. Five stars, but fix the pints!

Ant believe I've been driving by this place for so long and had not gone in until now! Truly a hidden gem! Wonderful kind and helpful staff, beautiful building and display of wines! When I called ahead of time, Taylor "the wine guy" knew exactly what I was looking for even when I myself didn't.

places/ChIJb1DlSURFE4cRgptqZM2tqcw/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnM0xERHhRRRAB

Y’all, these people are the best kind of wine, beer, and liquor experts. They share their knowledge with you in this beautiful way of inviting you in and really customizing their recommendations for your occasion, tastes, and budget. Gate openers, not gatekeepers. Perfect place to find that pairing for a special occasion or gift, so many unique offerings. I feel very cared for when I go in there, and I know the people I’m buying gifts for will feel that care too.

Wackadoo Brewing

places/ChIJ51-d7AFRE4cRDIKy9KHmiI8/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VOYmVxT0NZaW91SGVnEAE

Wonderful veteran owned brewery - Steve the owner is super kind and informative as well as appreciative of every single person that walks in the door.  The craft beer is so tasty ($7.00 flat per beer) and they have 20 on tap.  They have the coolest / largest flight available in CO called the Squadron and you get to try every beer on tap via this flight. Their swag is under priced if you ask me, and is very good quality.  I purchased a zip-up hoodie for $45.00 printed on the front and back. The owner prices things based off of what he would want to pay vs what he can get.  He offers mug memberships and food is included with those memberships.  They are now serving food daily, and it looked great as others were being served (we ate beforehand.). I highly recommend trying this brewery out - I don’t think you will regret it.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Two thumbs up, A++
* Returned the next day and purchased the $50.00 Squadron Flight!  What an experience.  Great beer, people clapped with encouragement, lol good times.  The fried pickles were great too.  Awesome place.

This establishment is a true craft beer brewery. They don't specialize in flagship beers, every batch they brew is a new style or flavor. The brewmeister, Steve gave me great advise to improve my home brewing methods. If you are ever heading to see the Garden of the Gods, I recommend you first stop at Wackadoo and hydrate before hiking.

places/ChIJ51-d7AFRE4cRDIKy9KHmiI8/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VNclV6dW5nZ04zSHN3RRAB

When you’re here you feel like family. The owner, Steve, CLEARLY cares about the people who walk through his door. As a military family, I cannot rave enough about how military based and conscious this bar is. When you walk in, if your military or military family, they light your branch up on the wall. Knowing that ALL of the proceeds after all the bills and salaries are paid, 22 local veteran charities get ALL the profits donated. That’s so awesome. The beers are so fun and fresh, and the mug club is an absolute must. It’s like finding your people who appreciate a chill time with great company and a brewery that is genuinely glad you’re now apart of something bigger than all of us.

You’ve GOT to be here for one of their many events like battle bot wars. People come from all over, and even down from Denver, to participate.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out on the coolest vet owned and operated brewery in the country.

places/ChIJ51-d7AFRE4cRDIKy9KHmiI8/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNKbHAtem5nRRAB

They had a Valentine’s Day steak dinner, salad, fried potatoes, and steak. For dessert, chocolate covered strawberries. AMAZING! 20 in house brewed beer taps, veteran owner onsite, and the rest of the staff is awesome too! Thanks for making this such an enjoyable experience.

FANTASTIC brewery with rotating taps and plenty of community/theme nights.

As an added bonus, they have a partnership with the nearby 3.14 Pi bar so you can get both dessert pies and pot pies brought over to the bar. Yum!

Urban is a must-visit. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the beer selection is top-notch — from crisp lagers to bold IPAs and creative small-batch brews. Whether you’re relaxing after a hike or just meeting up with friends, it’s the perfect spot to soak in that Colorado craft beer vibe. Great beer, great people, and a patio made for sunny afternoons. Can’t wait to come back!

My favorite neighborhood brewery 🩷
There’s always a new, creative brew on tap as well as much-loved rotating selections. I’m a huge fan of the ultrasuede fruited sour made without lactose, but still has that luxurious mouthfeel. Right now I’m enjoying the Jock-A-Mo : a pistachio cream ale for Mardi Gras! If you’re a juicy IPA fan, dude incredible will knock your socks off

New location convenient to Interquest, North Gate and Flying Horse. We tried the pizza and lettuce wraps. Lettuce wraps are a new twist, with spicy Italian sausage red peppers, and grilled mushrooms. They will tell you it is 3 small lettuce wraps but they are fully stuffed lettuce cups. Pretty amazing if you like those flavors. Good food to pair with the beer.. We will definitely be back.

This place is awesome. Went for the first time for their Round Up event and was very impressed. Might be the best brewery I've been to in the Springs area.

So many food options and everything looked and smelled wonderful. Sadly we had already eaten before we came. I look forward to returning and trying the food.

Good variety of beers and at reasonable prices. Served nice and cold.

They also have a full bar, cocktails, and wine.

Inside bar and table seating, lots of outdoor seating, and a rooftop bar area that's adults only (nice if you're not into the family scene).

All the staff was so much fun and very patient. Even if there's a line behind you, when you get to the front they treat you like you're the only one there and don't rush you at all.

They host lots of fun events... Trivia, music bingo, themed nights (there's a Taylor Swift one coming up), live music and more.

This place is great, but the food options closing two hours before the beer/drink options seems crazy to me... Don't really understand that. Let me put it another way, it's a fantastic venue that unfortunately could be even better if they rethought through some of the logistics of their offerings.

We had a large group of 16- most were older people and not having a physical menu made the experience difficult. I know that sounds super silly but watching them ask the servers a million questions could have been easily avoided! It was a great experience otherwise. We came in on a snowy Saturday and the place was still pretty busy. My friends were telling me this place gets packed in the summer!

Wonderful veteran owned local brewery just minutes away from the Garden of the Gods! They always have a nice variety of brewed on site beers and they always have their flagship beers like the Helo Hefe which is my favorite. There are multiple food and drink venues on site so there is no lack of a variety of food to enjoy. The staff is always friendly and they hustle to make this very busy place run smoothly.

Goat Patch beers are always good. This was our first visit to this location. We heard the food was great. Not so much. Ordered a Billyfold appetizer and a Mountain Goat pizza. The pizza was soggy and underdone. Thin crust should be crispy. Maybe the cook didn't understand operation of the pizza oven. Can't recommend the food.

This is a chill spot to enjoy some delicious beers from a diverse menu. The location is fun, relaxing, and spacious in and outside of a former church with a cocktail bar and food vendor sharing the space.
The beers were not only creative but also included styles not typically found on American brewery list.

I will absolutely be back next time in in Colorado Springs!

places/ChIJJ4lgPH1GE4cR8p8_B3m6ftk/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQwLWV6NllBEAE

A hidden gem and must try! They have a unique set of beers that probably won’t be made again as they are constantly on rotation. It is in a shared space. The food was fantastic we had the tostadas. We shared to flights of 8 different beers and loved 80% of them. We would definitely be beer members if we lived in the area. They have a pricy, but great membership program:) The open on church space was eclectic and fun. Can’t wait to go again!!
Back again after about 2 years and things have evolved! They are still only making beers 1x and they are still fantastic! They now have brunch available, which was pretty good. The biscuits were a bit dry and they could have provided more jam.

Very open and laid-back atmosphere. The roasted potato wedges were so delicious and the charcuterie board offered a large variety and quantity of tasty items. Food and beer pricing was very reasonable. The main host did a great job, providing excellent service. Those handling the beer and wine bars also checked to see how we were enjoying our flight selections. Very pleased with this dining choice and will definitely be back.

Local Relic was absolutely worth a visit. The staff was helpful, the beer was unique and enjoyable, the food was good, and the old church setting made the experience all the more  fun!

I really liked the fact that I could have ordered cocktails and wine if I wanted (though I stuck with beer.)

As others have mentioned, the acoustics are not the best, so the venue can be quite loud. I’m not overly bothered by noise, so no issue for me.

Altogether, will visit again!

The location (an old church) was really cool. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful! 3 different stations, one for beer, one for mixed drinks and one for wine was innovative and allowed you to spend time looking and talking with the server. Food was fantastic! Huge servings and multiple layers of flavor in my Mojo Pork Huevos Rancheros!! My wife loved her Todays omelet. Beer selection was outstanding with an amazing amount of different styles. My wife loved the selections of wines.  Highly recommend the Local Relic and we will be back.

The staff is exceptionally friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The beer selection is impressive, catering to a variety of tastes. I particularly enjoyed their “Homeward Bound” IPA, which offers bright citrus flavors and a silky mouthfeel. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Lost Friend Brewing Company is definitely worth a visit!  ￼ ￼

What a unique neighborhood hangout!! Dogs and families are perfectly welcome. The vibe is awesome. The beer was pretty good, but I personally felt like something was missing out of each beer I had that would've completed the flavors they were going for. It's good beer, but just need a tweak. Wouldn't keep me from coming back though!

Lost Friend is my favorite place to grab a beer in the Springs!
I have always found the staff to be friendly and eager to help and the atmosphere to be incredible and unique for the city.
Between their dog friendly and family friendly nature, the library with a wide selection of books to grab and peruse when by yourself, the games that were available and the views out the large bay door (seriously stunning view of the peak) this place feels like the community focused establishment our city needs most.
This is the kind of place you can bring a laptop to get work done on a weekday (assuming you have the kind of job where you can have a slow beer while working) bring your family on the weekend, catch up with an old friend, or sit and play a board game with loved ones.
The beer selection is very much up my alley and I love how often they are trying out new things. They have a great rotation of food trucks that come through so you never need to worry about going hungry while here.

Really, I just can't say enough positive things about this place!

One of my favorite breweries in town! The beer is delicious and the atmosphere is awesome! They have amazing views of Pikes Peak and when the weather I'd nice they open the garage doors to enjoy a nice breeze and fresh air. The staff is great. If you get thirsty I'd highly recommend stopping in for a drink. You might even find a friend you lost!

places/ChIJ9zWCJBxPE4cRv4O2JzfzfuM/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR6LV9IdlZ3EAE

This has a fun welcome home type vibe. Board games to play on a couch or at a table. College type crowed being older still felt welcomed. Lea, the bartender, was so polite and down to earth that it was a really great place to relax. They have a food truck out front, so grab your food, bring it in, and order your drinks(food truck will be reviewed separately). Great first impression. Will be visiting again in the future. Thank you so much.

Fossil Craft Beer Company

places/ChIJ2VeBhpdaE4cRaBQku4QW420/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUN3dEt5V1NREAE

That’s some good beer right there! Worth the stop off Hwy 24 on your way up/down the mountain.

places/ChIJ2VeBhpdaE4cRaBQku4QW420/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR6MXI2eHRnRRAB

The staff at  Fossil Craft Beer was friendly. They have a different food truck outside every day of the week with a weekly schedule. They offer multiple Craft beers that are brewed on site. Lots of places to sit indoors and out. Very unique! Also pet friendly.

places/ChIJ2VeBhpdaE4cRaBQku4QW420/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUMyOThHd19RRRAB

The beer is awesome, food trucks well chosen and the atmosphere is fun. Really enjoyed coming out here on my trip. Only thing that bummed me out was I specifically went in to buy a mug to send home to my uncle (my fossil hunting buddy) and they will not sell them as just merchandise. They are part of a program where they keep them there for the regulars. I understand why they wouldn’t sell them to other people not in the program but just wish they had a different color or something we could have purchased for a souvenir of the trip.

Great, friendly place in walking distance from Rudy’s BBQ. Cream Ale, XXL IPA, and Tripel were delicious. Kombucha is always delightful and perfect for the weekly detox.

places/ChIJ2VeBhpdaE4cRaBQku4QW420/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNJMWUzZHJ3RRAB

5 stars based on the service alone. Harley was amazing..talking about beer, telling stories, and making other recommendations for our trip. Only sampled a couple of the brews but each were real enjoyable.

*Stopped in again on my most recent trip to CO.
Loved the expanded/remodeled space.  Beers continue to stay on point.

South Park Brewing

Food was decent nothing special. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was definitely better than the green chillie burger. Beer is tasty.

Staff are so friendly in this place, they are kind and sincere and make you feel welcomed! German Smash burger is very delicious and highly recommended. The variety of beer is very nice to try as well.

Beer selection is amazing! Got the flight didnt disappoint! The smash burger is by far the best I've had in the Colorado Springs area! Come try it for yourself!

We had a wonderful experience at South Park Brewing.  They had a nice diversity of beer and it was served at proper temperature.  The beers were fantastic.  The food was REALLY good, the chicken sandwich was one of the best my wife's had in town.  My burger was exceptional.   We are looking forward for a return visit.  Cheers!

Fantastic food and drafts all around! We ordered cheese curds, chicken sandwiches and smash burgers—all of it was fabulous!

The drafts were also great. Highly recommend trying this gem out!

We sat outside on the deck and took in the beautiful Mountain View’s.

Cogstone Brewing Company, LLC

We've picked-up pizza from Cogstone at least once a week for the last six months. It is very consistent and good! Easily the best pizza in the Springs. One pizza is just the right size for one person. Dough and sauce are both perfect for any toppings. The service is always friendly and atmosphere clean. Highly recommend!

places/ChIJhZ2gd1RPE4cRH3y9ACPORmQ/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUM3MnB2LVZnEAE

Love many of their beers including the CHIPS AND SALSA (tastes like the real thing) and apricot kolsch. Their pizza is an artisan wood fired pizza, DELICIOUS! If you love pizza and beer, this is the place to go. We love their Wednesday night trivia.

places/ChIJhZ2gd1RPE4cRH3y9ACPORmQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUM1NWFhNzZnRRAB

Great brewery with fun beer options and delicious eats! With 12+ options on tap and a simple (very reasonably priced) one page menu this is a great spot to have a beer or two and some great food. Atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is very friendly. The food we had was super tasty and they had some great shareable options which is always nice in a brewery setting. Having the chance to sample drinks before you try is always appreciated! We came by twice in 3 days and it was a great experience both times! Definitely a fun spot to check out if you’re interested the area! The burrata is a must have!

places/ChIJhZ2gd1RPE4cRH3y9ACPORmQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQtako2V3VnRRAB

My partner won a coupon to this place so we figured we would stop in! The beers were pretty good they offer a solid selection. There are a lot of beers that I wish were available that are only available during different seasons/times. The Chips and Salsa Beer is a decent choice and seems popular. I enjoyed an Apricot Wheat Beer from them. I wasn't expecting much when it came to the food but it was surprisingly delicious and well made! The cheeseburger they make was absolutely awesome as well as the fresh fries. My partner ordered the Burrata and we shared it. It was fancy and tasty. Small cozy place with a comfortable vibe.

Will definitely be visiting again!
Thanks Cogstone!

Went on a sunday, dude was single handedly serving and cooking for 14 people.  Claimed food was slow but I think he did well serving. For the pizza. I'm not a fan of the crust, but it was good over all. A solid 4. The beer however, enjoyed the Irish lager, and really loved the wee heavy... they had a beer called chips and salsa... they named it correctly. So delicious, it was like drinking salsa!!! I wish I could give the beer a higher ranking.

Cerberus Brewing Company

Cerberus was a great place to stop in for a burger.
They also have a wide variety of drink menu here.
Great location conveniently located on the corner with street parking plus private parking around back.
To my surprise there was a smoker pit going in the rear parking lot today where they smoke their brisket.
Such a rare sight these days surprising and pleasant.
I was greeted by friendly staff the moment I walked in the door.
I definitely felt welcome and at home the entire dining experience.
I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger to my surprise came out as a double meat Patty so all I can say is be ready the burgers are big.
Great flavor on the burger very Savory with a hint of sweetness and the brioche bun is always my preferred favorite.
This restaurant offers outdoor seating and a beer garden as well as indoor seating.
This entire facility was very neat organized and clean.
I would recommend Cerberus for a great dining experience.

What an amazing place! Unique menu items, outside area for you and your dog. A Bark-cuterie Board for your pup too! Reasonably priced entrees and drinks. Teacher specials on Thursday nights with District ID. Excellent food and excellent service! I’m so impressed!

places/ChIJxcdfLy5FE4cRxvDgZ59-MJE/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21OSVRuZFRSVzlCVTFsMlVWWnhaVk01ZVVvMFdsRRAB

Cerberus Brewery has quickly become one of my favorite places in town, and for good reason. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, laid-back, and full of personality. But what really made our experience unforgettable was the combination of stellar beer, mouthwatering food, and fantastic service.

Let’s talk beer first—Drake High End Lager is hands down one of the smoothest, most well-balanced lagers I’ve had in a long time. Crisp, clean, and incredibly drinkable. On the other end of the flavor spectrum, the Mexican OT is bold and unique, with just the right kick. If you like complexity in your brew, don’t skip this one.

Now for the food: do not leave without trying the truffle fries or the brisket grilled cheese. Perfectly crispy with just the right amount of truffle oil and parmesan with garlic aioli - absolutely addictive.

And a huge shoutout to our server, Cora, who was the cherry on top of an already amazing visit. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests having a great time.

Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a great place to relax and enjoy amazing food, Cerberus Brewery is a winner. Can’t wait to come back!

We stopped in at 11am on a Sunday for brunch. It was moderately busy and we got a seat right away. There were brunch specials but you could also order from the normal menu. Mimosas, Bloody Mary, and Screwdrivers were $6. I got the breakfast poutine skillet (vegetarian version with drunken beans and mushrooms) and my husband got a Cuban with potato wedges. Everything looked delicious when it came out (pretty quickly too) and we were pleasantly surprised by the taste. Firstly I thought the potatoes and drunken beans on my plate were the stars of the show, but it was really the bread. The toast served with my dish and the bread on my husband's sandwhich...wow we will be dreaming about that bread. Service was good and there was plenty of shade to sit in on the patio. Overall we really enjoyed our experience here!

places/ChIJxcdfLy5FE4cRxvDgZ59-MJE/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VLNjQyN2VlNzlMYWtRRRAB

Went here after a hike at seven falls and sat on the patio with 2 dogs and 11 people. The service was great and they were super accommodating for our large group and very patient! The beers had great names and tasted even better. A few of us ordered the pink lemonade frozen seltzer and omg it was to die for. The food is also SO good. Between the table we got a good mix of food. Our vegetarian friends loved the smoked tofu grilled cheese and beetwich! We also loved the lamb sliders, smoked brisket grilled cheese, and the Korean bbq chicken sandwich. Our whole group kept saying that we couldn’t wait to come back again and how amazing the food & atmosphere was!

Bristol Brewing Company

After getting a truly amazing burger from ‘the kitchen’ with some of the best onion rings I’ve EVER  had—I needed GOOD BEER.

I found some that met that met that title at Bristol Brewing.

Skylar was AMAZING. She gave GREAT suggestions for my flight.

I got the honey wheat for my friend and I drank the other 3. (I also got a Shirley Temple to cleanse my pallet in between.

I really liked the Hazy IPA and the Mango Sour was one of the best sour I’ve had in a couple of years. (My mouth is watering thinking about it.)

Next time I make it to Colorado Springs, I’ll be back!

places/ChIJwy4Q3MNEE4cREjDA0ikYYsQ/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURndTVyQ1JREAE

This is a really unique location. It's in an old school so there are other little nooks with food. There is fun art on the bathroom walls.

places/ChIJwy4Q3MNEE4cREjDA0ikYYsQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQzNTd2MTFBRRAB

I love what they've done with the place!  Possibly the best setting for a brewery that I've seen (and I've been to a few).  Really like the way they've set up businesses-within-the-business so there's variety as you explore.

The beer was good:
Winter Warlock Oatmeal Stout - 3/5
Pinon Nut Brown Ale - 4/5

My brisket sandwich was small, but it made a good first impression on taste.  However, too many bites had big chunks of fat.  The green beans were really good.  My wife's loaded waffle fries, with chipotle seasoning, were quite good except for the cheese, which had a slightly grainy texture and sub-par flavor.

If we lived in the area, we'd visit from time to time, but for us this was just one of 400 Colorado breweries we're trying.

We were visiting Colorado Springs during Thanksgiving week and found this place in Ivywild School.  The place was spacious and busy on Friday afternoon.  Our server was nice.  My husband and son  enjoyed their beer.

We had two coupons- what a wonderful experience!!! Glad we came in, everything was fantastic! Perfect place for any occasion. Thank you uber! Update 11/1/24 I've been in here so many dang times (more than 18 in the last 10 months) and these guys are just so friendly and the beer is to die for!!! Zack is my all-time favorite but I just met Teri today and she is a sweetheart!!!

The food was really good, the burgers were delicious. The main star of the Colorado Mountain Brewery experience was Bilal A. He was what you wanted in a server, very attentive, never let my drink empty before another one was being served. Have great recommendation for the food and knew how to serve a table with kids by asking about refills and the quietly about dessert! Bilal needs a raise he did an amazing job!

Friendly staff and delicious food. Perfect place to hop into after a day of walking around garden of the gods. Kid friendly and clean restrooms. The bison egg rolls were the best

places/ChIJoZ12msdaE4cRQiao0Tsqboc/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURRdS1iLWpBRRAB

The food here was amazing! I tried the bison jalapeño poppers and the alpine chicken sandwich, and both had so much flavor. While the service was slow—taking longer than expected for both drinks and food—it was definitely worth the wait.

places/ChIJoZ12msdaE4cRQiao0Tsqboc/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURBOXJmSV9nRRAB

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Service was superb but most of all, the menu was stacked and over delivered. It's called Colorado Mountain Brewery, but I swear the food shines so bright that you forget they brew their own beers. We will definitely be back to try more items.

Voodoo Brewing Co. - Colorado Springs

Voodoo Brewing is a great place to meet up. I found a great menu selection here.
I had one of there great burgers and it was seasons and cooked two perfection.
Also tried their fries to my surprise they had great seasoning.
Overall great atmosphere inside and outside patio dining available.
Found a creative list of appetizers and eats at a great price.
