#6 Beer Spot of Colorado Springs: Brewer's Republic
In only a little over a year, Brewer's Republic has carved out a great beer drinking niche in downtown Colorado Springs. It's a small quaint bar, similar to a coffee shop, with an impressive assortment of fine ales and lagers on tap.
The Beer: There are 12 rotating taps of only local Colorado beer at all times with some specialty bottles for sale. Because of the small space there is only room for 5 gallon kegs which is in some ways an advantage, the taps are different every time you come in. The owners Jason, Dave, and Brian have made really great connections with the local distributors and have been able to get limited kegs of the rarest and hardest to find beers in Colorado.
The Food: An assortment of fine pub fare including appetizers, sandwiches, pizza, and even fried twinkies are available. Not quite your typical small bar food but that's part of the charm. Everything is made in house at the adjacent Underground bar.
