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.

Draft at the brewery. Clear amber color with a small white head. Good lacing. The flavor is more hops-dominant than malts and not much caramel flavor. Tastes more like a pale ale than an amber ale.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a dark, unclear, orange color, with a medium, fine, beige head. The aroma is orange peel, brown sugar, pine sap, and some rye spice. Sweet and malty, with a sharp bitterness. Medium body, with a grainy, sharp palate. This is a malt-forward and fun beer.

Taster at the brewery. Pours black, with a pretty big, foamy, beige head. The aroma is smooth coffee, rye, bittersweet chocolate, and dust. Sweet and sugary, with an acrid, unpleasant bitterness. Very light body, with a frothy, watery palate. Good coffee notes, but this is an oddly light and weak stout.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a clear, light orange color, with a medium, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is caramel, smooth vanilla, lemon juice, red wine, and white sugar. Sweet and nicely tart. Light to medium body, with a surprisingly smooth and lightly acidic palate. This is a mellow and quality sour.

Pint at the brewery. Pours a hazy, yellow color, with a medium, frothy, white head. The aroma is lemon, dry grass, resin, and light cloves. Surprisingly dry, with a smooth bitterness. Light to medium body, with a crisp, grainy palate. This is a nicely yeasty and herbal wheat beer. Interesting.
