Fieldhouse Brewing Company

IMG_7185[1]
Yes, I am going to rant about the Caramel Macchiato Stout from FieldHouse Brewing Company. Sounding like something a very affluent European man would order after his morning jaunt around his estate, it couldn’t be anything farther from that. It is more reminiscent of a man with a huge beard, who also happens to be giggling while playing with a puppy. I digress though, FieldHouse is located in downtown Colorado Springs, it’s the first microbrewery to do so in over 21 years.

IMG_7179[1]With most of the bartenders sporting brodacious beards and jorts(Link Urban Dictionary), this place was super relaxed. With a massive garage door as the back wall, the atmosphere was like a cafe and auto-garage had a litter of beers. We got the same disillusioned look that we got at Triple S when we asked our bearded bartenders to try every beer they brewed in-house, but they were happy to oblige.

Right outside the open back wall FieldHouse works with local food trucks to provide food, in our case we sampled some golden liquid mac n cheese that would have made Chester Cheetah drool.

Being stuffed to the gills with mac n cheese and more than adequately satisfied with our beers we came to the conclusion that FieldHouse Brewing Company is one of the best places to go grab a beer and some food while you’re downtown.
