Local Relic ~ Colorado Springs, Colorado


Latest visit: Dec 2022

First visit: Dec 2018

Back again after about 18 months. Only had one beer, not too heavy, as I had much to do in the afternoon. But I'm falling way behind on the local breweries without much of a good excuse. Note that the free parking is no longer available, as the city has decided to dig into everyone's wallet wherever they can. Otherwise the experience is exactly as laid out below. The food menus look delicious - artisan is the first word that comes to mind. I should take advantage of it sometime. Perhaps have Mrs. RJG join me, as she did for the first visit.

---Bier Reise notes from 6/27/21

The brewery is in an old church on the outskirts of downtown. Plenty of free parking all around. Easier to get in if you go through the back parking lot (off of Weber). Walk in, head to your right. The taps are on the left side. The beers available are on paper menus. Much has changed since we last visited in 2018. They now have 3 other food/drink vendors in the same "church hall". Very relaxing setting, with perfect sunlight befitting of a church. They also have a stereo with a turntable that plays records from their extensive collection. On the visit in 2018, they played Blue Oyster Cult's Spectres, which was a nice surprise. Local Relic prides themselves in making different beers each time.
