A brewing company or brewery is about the business of making and selling beers. The brewery is the place where the beer is commercially made.

As mentioned earlier, Colorado Springs is known for its flourishing beer culture.

Did you know that this mountainous state ranks fourth in the United States for craft beer production?

The brews of the Springs are top-notch. Some of the different breweries found in Colorado Springs are:

2.1. Nano Brewery

Considered the smallest type of brewery, nano breweries are considered under the craft brewery category. A nano-brewery produces beers in batches of three barrels or even smaller. 

2.2. Microbrewery

Popularly known as artisan breweries, craft breweries brew beer by inculcating traditional approaches and innovative modern ingredients and methods. These breweries focus on experimentation and innovation. They add a modernized touch to old traditional flavors and produce something new. 

2.4. Brewpub

Producing and selling beers from the same premises is known as a brewpub. 

2.5. Farm Brewery

A farmhouse brewery is a place where beer is brewed on a farm. This beer was initially made to be distributed among workers, but these brews became popular instead for their unconventional taste and character.
