Beer Can Derby – This is the second best use of our new IPA cans that we could think of! Trick out your Can Car at home and then run it on our purpose-built track! IPA cans will be available at PPBC on Thursday, June 20th, but you can start sketching your design on the back of a coaster today.

Can Cars will be set up Councours-style at 3p to allow the crowd to enjoy your craftsmanship, then racing starts at 4p! We will have prizes for fastest Can Car as well as Most Boss.

ALL CARS MUST PASS INSPECTION TO QUALIFY FOR THE RACE
Following are the inspection points:
1. The can weight shall not exceed 5.0 ounces. The official race scale shall be considered final.
2. The overall length of the can shall not exceed 7 inches.
3. The overall width of the can shall not exceed 2 ¾ inches.
4. The can must have 1 ¾” clearance between the wheels.
5. The can must have 3/8” clearance underneath the body.
6. The can may be shaped any way that is desired.
7. The can must be freewheeling, with no starting devices.

Each can must pass inspection by the official inspection committee before it will be allowed to compete. The Inspection Committee has the responsibility to disqualify those cans that do not meet these specifications.

Jam Sessions at PPBC

courtney — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:39:02 +0000

Join the Sweetest Jam in Monument!

Come out to Pikes Peak Brewing Co. the 2nd Sunday of each month throughout the summer to meet and play with other area musicians!

The Jam begins at 6:30p on:

June 9

July 14

August 11

What can you expect at this Jam Session:

“In the likeness of that famous overused, underpaid song… “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”"

Don’t let our circle be unbroken as the song leader picks the key

Jammers will bring their instruments to play sweet music so all can see

Please feel free to join the leader when he sings a chorus or two

Unless invited don’t sing on the verses, I promise there will only be a few

The only time to break our circle is if while passing you haven’t a clue

Always keep your eyeballs watching so the audience will never “boo”

Please feel free to bring your own songs, make 5 copies to share with the crew

And this will be a sweet jam session, and next time you’ll bring more friends too.

The top 10 things we are hoping you won’t hear at the PPB Jam….

1. “Where’s the beef, I’m mean beat?”

2. “It’s all about Me, It’s all about I, It’s all about number one, oh my me my”

3. “What - I don’t need to watch the leader, I just like to close my cosmic eyes and “feel” the music”

4. “Boy, wish I could have heard your break, but it’s hard to tone down the back beats on my tuba”

5. “What is the electronic device thingy on your guitar that has a lit up screen with a needle lined up under the letter “E” – that is space age, dude!”

6. “What is that guy doing kicking his leg out toward the end of the song – poor fella he must have a charlie horse”

7. “What’s all this AABB – poor fella must have a stutter”

8. “If we are talking keys – I’ve got keys for ya” as one kind soul shows off his percussive sounding key chain

9. “Whew – that break was so bad it smelled like my Aunt Fanny”

10 “I wish I would have stayed home and watched my pine needle turn to mulch”

Check back for the song list for June!

Local 5 Pale Ale

admin — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 03:42:54 +0000

Pikes Peak Brewing Co. is proud and honored to produce the 2012 edition of the Local 5 Pale Ale. This beer is brewed for and with the help the Local 5 of the Professional Fire Fighters Association in Colorado Springs.

Whenever a fire fighter is lost, the Local 5 sends a representative to attend the funeral and comfort the family. Additionally, each September, the Local 5 hosts the Fallen Firefighters Memorial Ceremony in Colorado Springs. In these ways, this group of extraordinary men and women honor the memory and service of the fallen fire fighters.

Proceeds from the sale of this beer will go directly to the Local 5 and help cover travel costs associated with this service to our brave First Responders. Come have a beer with us, and show your appreciation for our local heroes!

Stay tuned for a list of venues for the Local 5 Ale. This beer will debut on Sept. 10th at the PPBC tasting room and then Sept. 11th at locations around Colorado Springs. It will only be here for a short while.

Our root beer is one of the smoothest, most amazing root beers you’ll ever taste. And we even offer free refills. Your buddies won’t be able to say that!

The Brits are Back

admin — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 02:39:27 +0000

A light bodied beer, with a dark color. Smooth and refreshing with subtle notes of chocolate. Mild describes the hop presence, not the flavor. A dark beer for all seasons and all beer drinkers.

Elephant Rock IPA

admin — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 02:36:30 +0000

A massive amount of late addition hops makes this beer’s strong citrus and pine aroma and taste as big as its namesake. A classic American IPA using 5 different hops at 2.5 lbs/barrel of beer.
