Phantom Canyon Brewing Company, Colorado Springs
Phantom Canyon Brewing Company, founded in December 1993, is the oldest brewery in Colorado Springs. It's located in the historic Cheyenne Building, built in 1901, and has become a significant part of the city's craft beer scene. Originally, the building served as the local offices of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, and it underwent a transformation in 1909, reopening as The Cheyenne Hotel, which remained under the Shafer family's ownership until 1963. Today, it's recognized as the first downtown restaurant listed on the National Register of Historical Places, situated prominently at the intersection of Pikes Peak and Cascade.
The Cheyenne Building takes its name from Cheyenne Mountain and features Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne Indian Tribe at its front entrance, paying homage to its rich history. The brewery spans multiple floors, with the second floor hosting the Phantom Canyon Billiard Hall—a hub for pool enthusiasts and late-night entertainment, offering various options for amusement. On the other hand, the third floor Banquet Hall, newly restored in December 2001, provides an elegant venue for private parties and business gatherings. It boasts scenic mountain views, high ceilings, and a fully equipped bar and kitchen. Phantom Canyon Brewing Company isn't just a brewery; it's a place where history, craft beer, and community come together.
