Mash Mechanix Brewing Company

Mash Mechanix is a relatively new brewery. By that, I mean about three years, maybe four. It’s just east of downtown Colorado Springs where the trendy new apartment buildings are sprouting up. The brewery itself is a cool, one story brick building with a nice ‘L’ shaped patio that goes along the back and side of the building. There’s a permanent food ‘truck’ outside on the patio, in case you get the munchies.

There’s a good range of beers on tap, from Belgians to browns, lagers to the dreaded hazy IPA. There’s also a black IPA and a few cream ales, to include Anna Banana, which is the first beer I reviewed from here.

I’ve only been here a couple of times and I’m not sure why I haven’t stopped by more often. They’re right off one of the city’s bike paths (Shook’s Run) and close to downtown. I’m start putting it in my rotation. The crowd is a good mix of Colorado Springs residents: Hipsters riding in on their rented electic scooters, older brewery regulars, tourists, you name it. There's usually some entertainment on the weekends, but all in all, it's just a laid back urban hangout.

(And FYI: For those odd people who don’t like beer, there are some cocktails and wine available.)
