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.

Bottled. An unclear dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, vanilla, wood, over ripe fruits, and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of whisky, caramel, over ripe fruits, alcohol, and vanilla, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy dark amber color with almost no head. The aroma is sweet and nutty, maybe a bit buttery. Very sweet flavor, almost like a Thomas Hardy, with good malt and toffee flavor; there is an interesting pineapple freshness; in the final, some sweet nuts, alcohol, caramel; correct bitterness.
Very good, 70% classic British, 30% zesty American.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours a cloudy amber with a tiny off-white head. Thick caramelish aroma, some overripe fruit - slightly oxidized. Rich body, lowish carbonation, a little manure(!), sweet vanillaish but not overly woody or Bourbonish. Has a salty character. Lovely. 160612

Tap @ brewery. Golden orange appearance that’s a bit hazy with an off white head. The hibiscus is fairly strong in the nose along with notes of spice, honey, lemon, and orange. Again in the flavor, the hibiscus leads with a big floral element and lighter notes of citrus fruits, wheat, and spice. Some white pepper on the finish. Carbonation was a bit low.

Tap @ brewery. Amber appearance with a tan head. Somewhat toasty, caramel, toffee, mild grassy/earthy hoppy aroma. Sweet toffee forward, sort of reminiscent of an English bitter, with a higher hop content though it’s still pretty tame by American standards. Cracker, toast, earth notes.
