Despite the hit-or-miss service, I really enjoy this place. The beers are great (which is ultimately all that really matters at a brewery anyways) but the food is pretty good too.
They have the tiniest kitchen I have ever seen (think small apartment kitchen) so it is no wonder they can be easily backed up in there. I had the Mac & Cheese the first time I was in and absolutely LOVED it, so I was bummed when I went in again and it was off the menu. Also off the menu are the sliders, which my husband really enjoyed. They now offer a more extensive list of burgers and some other more restaurant-style entrees other than the bar/grill type food I love.
I mentioned the if-y service earlier and the more busy the restaurant, the crappier it gets. It seems that they are always understaffed so prepare to wait a long time to order, pay and get refills. BUT, I don't think that the service should stop you from coming here. At all. If you skipped out because of that, you'd be making a mistake. The beers really are awesome, and even if you don't care for the ones they brew, they have tons of other locally brewed beers on tap.
If you are in the Springs area, this is a must try.
The beer selection is very nice. I liked how they have many taps from out of state. The music they played was my kinda style, roots reggae.
The Slap yer Mama IIPA was very balanced considering the IBUs and strength. Being from San Diego and a big drinker of West Coast style IPAs, I could be teleported to Trinity and drink the whole keg of their Flo. I also liked the Elektrik Cukumbahh, unsuspectingly on the strong side for such refreshing taste!
The food was delicious and stood out. Their menu was simple to order and the plates came out fast for us. The bartender, servers were very friendly and accommodating. Rikelle deserves an A+ for her sharp service, and she knows beer. Hope to see you again!
solid beer usually, they specialize in saison/belgian style ales, but they have a wide enough brews to satisfy your friends who like mass produced ales/lagers.
Restaurant is very nice environment, combines a Colorado feel with perhaps the Hippy crowd, cool bar top made from recycled glass and lit from below.
Food leands towards vegetarian and 'slow' food (local produce), perhaps not 100% vegan, but I really enjoy the food.
plan on $20 to cover an entree/beer/tip - fairly pricey,
However, go during happy hour, and you can typically get a house beer for $3! Â I also recomend the Belgian or sweet potato fries with a variety of kick-ass sauces.
The growlers are a great deal also, but the champagne bottle beer are champagne prices since they've won several Great American Beer Festval awards, those are the priciest beers, of course!
Staff has always been friendly and fun to chat with.
They have a nice out-door seating area with a nice view of Pikes Peak. Â Really makes for a great afternoon with a few friends.
Overall - great environment by yourself or with a group from work, great beer, great food, but a little pricey.
Oh, and they have free wi-fi...
