Prost Brewing is preparing to open its first Colorado Springs location at 3305 Cinema Point, taking over the former Old Chicago space and giving the Denver-based brewery its first foothold in the city.
The new location will become Prost’s sixth in Colorado and is planned as a larger biergarten-style destination with plenty of room for guests to gather, eat and enjoy the brewery’s lineup of German-style beers.
According to Axios, plans for the space include a covered patio, a private events area and an additional outdoor patio with a small stage. The outdoor area will also include space for children, while the overall setup is expected to be welcoming to families and dogs.
Live entertainment will be part of the experience, with weekend music planned for the patio. Prost also plans to bring seasonal celebrations to the location, including Oktoberfest.
The brewery’s beer list is rooted in traditional German styles, with options including Pilsner, Kölsch, Hefeweizen, Vienna Lager and Dunkel. Seasonal beers rotate throughout the year, giving the tap list room for styles such as Märzen and other limited offerings.
Prost focuses on traditional brewing methods and sources its malt and hops from Germany. Its beers are brewed using the classic combination of malt, hops, water and yeast, with an extended lagering process used for many of its styles.
The Colorado Springs location will offer more than Prost’s own beer. Guests will also find cocktails, wine, cider, seltzers, guest beers and non-alcoholic options.
Food will follow the German-inspired theme, with the menu expected to include bratwursts and other sausages, schnitzel sandwiches, burgers, salads and additional options.
Prost Brewing opened its first brewery in Denver in 2012 and has since grown its presence throughout Colorado. The brewery currently has locations in Denver, Fort Collins, Highlands Ranch, Northglenn and Wheat Ridge.
Renovations at the former Old Chicago space are expected to wrap up by the end of November. Prost has not yet announced an official opening date for the Colorado Springs location.
