Description
The imposing landscapes. The off-the-beaten-path landmarks. These define the notorious landscape stretching across central Colorado. These make Phantom Canyon.
From our standpoint, if you’re going to name yourself after a special place like Phantom Canyon, you need a building just as special. Thus, the historic Cheyenne Building named after Cheyenne Mountain and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne Indian Tribe, a luminary whose stone visage watches over the front entrance.
Since opening in 1993, we continue honoring the spirit of the Phantom Canyon and Chief Two Moons by dedicating ourselves to giving Colorado Springs the best beer, the best food and the best hospitality we can. All three levels share stories from brew and food lovers of all walks of life, making us one of the best restaurants in Colorado Springs.
Now it’s your turn. Come on in and experience Colorado Springs’ original brewpub.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, brown, garnet color, with a smaller, beige head. The nose is coriander, vanilla, butter toffee, toasted coconut, walnut, and mild resin. Sweet and malty, with a light, balancing bitterness. Medium to heavy body, grainy, and syrupy. Beautiful and malty. Good barrel character, but not boozy. Quality.

Draft at the brewery. Clear amber color with a tiny white head. Good lacing. Has a little more caramel flavor than the Boxcar Amber, but it has the same chemical-like finish. A little too harsh for me.

Draft at the brewery. Clear dark mahogany color with a dark beige head. Excellent lacing. The flavor is dominated by the rye which drowns out the brown flavor. It's okay, but not worth seeking out IMHO.
