Cheese! They gave us cheese with our flights of beer! Why? Who cares, free food!
Anyways, Trinity Brewing was opened by Jason Yester, and has quite a few little quirks about it. The guys and gals at Trinity are not afraid of a little competition. Both winning and placing in numerous beer festivals and overall categories throughout the globe these people know how to brew some beers. Their most notable badge of honor is a ranking of the 27th best brewpub in the world in 2011 according to ratebeer.com.
Enough of the bragging though, let’s get down to what this brew pub is all about. One of the quirks I was talking about earlier is that the building that houses Trinity is made completely, yes 100%, from recycled materials. These guys even get most of their brewing materials from local farms around Colorado Springs. Yes you hippie, you would like this place if just for these two facts alone. Another plus for these guys is the fact that they offer food. They are actively trying to combat that headache inducing and stomach churching enemy known as a hangover.
So what about the beers? The brews? We enjoyed them. I’m not just saying that out of fear of being shamed by Jason Yester either. Insert Lebron taking his talents to South Beach reference here. The most surprising revelation of the night however, was the Elektrick Cukumbahh Saison. All of the tasters were pleasantly surprised at how Trinity made a tasty beer out of a vegetable that is so uninviting. Also, they were out of their Awaken Chicory Coffee Stout, which we have been told is excellent, but we understand and won’t hold that against them. As for the other beers here are our thoughts.
