Phantom Canyon Brewing Co.
Named in honor of the historic dirt road that follows 30 miles of the former Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad, Phantom Canyon opened in 1993 in Downtown Colorado Springs.
The website says, “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.”
They describe searching high and low to find only the finest malted barley, quality hops and select ale and lager yeasts to go with pure, crisp Colorado water. The website also says, “Dedication would be an understatement when acknowledging the passion our brewers share with one another. They and their ideas are as bold as the very brews they craft. Through their fearless experimentation, we proudly introduce unique, interesting beers — unlike anything you’ll find at any other brewery.”
They continue honoring the spirit of the Phantom Canyon and Chief Two Moons by dedicating themselves to giving Colorado Springs the best beer, the best food and the best hospitality.
