We are a small 5 bbl brewpub located in historic Manitou Springs. Sitting at the base of Pikes Peak, we are the closest brewery to its splendor. All of our beer is born from the pristine waters located near the top of the peak.
Our cellar, pub, and brewery reside in what was formerly the Manitou Burro Line in the late 1800’s. Visitors would come to this very spot to rent a burro and ride to the top of Pikes Peak.
Our beer is meticulously crafted, at every step, with the finest ingredients available. We look forward to serving you soon!
Come sample one of our artisanally crafted beers.
MBC offers a wide variety of beer styles brewed on location and also craft beer from our favorite breweries around the world. While we offer a few flagship brews year round, our tap selection generally varies from week to week, and of course season to season.
A new wood cellar addition in early 2018 should start yielding barrel aged varieties later in the year.

| High Ground IPA | 6.9% | |
| This beer is meticulously crafted with care in EVERY step of the process. Hop bursted and dry hopped with over 5 lbs of hops per barrel. |
| Mom Juice |
5.1% | |
| Luckily, summer isn’t over yet, but you can reminisce on the good ol’ days with the flavors of summer. Nothing like the combo of Pineapple + Coconut thrown into a light & refreshing Blonde Ale to make you feel like you’re chilling at the pool or relaxing on the beach, this Mom Juice is not meant for sippin’! | 20 ibu |
| Dry Irish Nitro Stout | 4.7% | |
| Light bodied Irish Stout with subtle roast finish. A refreshing, thirst quenching beer contrary to its appearance. | 24 ibu |
| Gourd Hoarder’s Pumpkin Ale |
5.9% | |
| Each sip starts with a blend of spicing that immediately leads into a light noble hop bitterness, finishing with a delicate pumpkin/malt finish. | 15 ibu |
| Cerise Mousseux Nouveau |
6.8% | |
| 2016 World Beer Cup Silver Medal winner in the Experimental category. The vision was to create a beer reminiscent of a sparkling wine. It was made using 100% malt fermentables. The pH was lowered to bring it down to the range of sparkling wine using a lactic acid bacteria blend that creates a clean, fruity lactic acid profile. It is then fermented with wine yeast and secondary fermented with cherries. Is it beer or is it wine? We’ll let you decide. | 7 ibu |
| Manitou Lager | 5% | |
| A clean, light, and refreshing Helles style lager biased more towards malt than hops. Soft bready notes with a clean finish. | 18 ibu |
| Sucker for You | 5.1% | |
| If you’re a sucker for sours, grab a glass of our blackberry sour, kettle soured with lactobacillus & finished with the addition of blackberries. |
| Wheat Up, Peaches! | 5.5% | |
| Wheat beer with the oh-so-just right amount of peach aroma & flavor. Once you get a taste, you’ll know Wheat’s up! |
| Wine ‘Em Dine ‘Em Ginger Lime ‘Em | 5.1% | |
| A ton of fresh ginger, a ton of lime zest & lime juice, this beer isn’t for the fainthearted, order only if you’re ready to pucker up. | 7 ibu |
| Burro Barn Brown Ale | 5.5% | |
| Our brewery resides in what was formerly the burro barn for the Manitou Burro Line in the late 1800’s. Visitors to Manitou Springs would come to this very spot to rent a burro which was then used to summit Pikes Peak. This American Brown Ale is a subtle blend of chocolate & caramel-toffee flavors, moderately bittered to balance the sweetness of this medium to full bodied ale. | 38 ibu |
| Patio Pounder Pale Ale | 6.6% | |
| A hazy American Pale Ale loaded with Azacca, Cascade, and Idaho 7 hops giving this beer a mountain of tropical notes reminiscent of mango, papaya, pineapple & citrus. | 41 ibu |
| Westside Wheat |
5.6% | |
| A light bodied, American wheat beer spiced with coriander and orange with a slight honey-malt finish. | 15 ibu |
| Barr Trail Pale Ale | 5.5% | |
| This is a tasty tribute to Pikes Peak Barr Trail. Parts much traveled, summit less conquered. Perfect balance of malt and juicy tropical hop aroma and flavor. Take a quick trip on Barr Trail. | 38 ibu |

| A-Frame Amber Ale {{{UPCOMING}}} | 5.2% | |

Beringer Founder’s Estate Red Blend
Flavorful California cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Shiraz, Merlot & Petite Sirah
Dante Cabernet Sauvignon
Dante Cabernet Sauvignon is bright with enticing aromas of cranberry, red plum, bright red cherries, and milk chocolate. The mouth is rich and dense, with layers of freshly roasted coffee, chocolate covered cherries, a solid oak structure lending clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and a bright, juicy acid just ready for food.
Lindeman’s Chardonnay Bin 65
On the nose, bright citrus aromas are accented by fresh meringue with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, enjoy the essence of Sierra Madre’s unique fruit — rich, mouth-filling flavors of crisp citrus with a delicate, balanced pear finish.
T. Halby Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio with a fragrant flowery bouquet and full of pear and apricot fruit flavors, ideally balanced for a refreshing experience.
Six Hats Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp and lively, elegant balance between the tropical fruits and the minerality.
