Storybook Brewing

Friendly. Brews were flavorful, great price (especially in comparison with Houston prices!). The place was clean, open and decorated as the other reviews said it was. The bar area was small but there were a couple of tables available. It felt like a local hang-​out, which I love. They don’t offer food but the Tin Can food truck owner and chef stopped by our table and was helpful with beer selections and to offer a menu of what she was cooking yesterday. We already had dinner plans but will try the food next time. The prices were low and the food looked great! Our only wish was that it had a few tables (non-​smoking) outside to sit at, to enjoy the view.

Good brews. Oddly placed with only one wood sign. When In there it was a small space (like the business was starting off). Some games to play in there too.

I really liked this place! It had a laid back vibe, very fantasy like and cool. Beers were very very good and were of a nice variety. Staff was wonderful and very pleasant. Best part for me as a dog lover — there were dogs in the bar!!! Only negative for me was the single Girls/​boys bathroom. We did not try the food trucks but heard good reviews. It should absolutely be on your micro beer stop list!!!

When I first heard of this place couldn’t believe it could be any good but picked up a growler of the Java porter and it was amazing! Go for the nitro but even the C02 is great! I will be back for more

Storybook is one of the best breweries we’ve tried in Colorado Springs. We really like getting their flight (6 beers) and trying a variety of different beers each time we go. Storybook is tucked away in a small industrial parking lot. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the inside is great. I really enjoy the ongoing storybook theme throughout their brewery. They have neat chalk drawings and their beers are named along the same storybook theme. The bartenders are always really friendly and more than happy to answer any questions or provide info about upcoming events.

Storybook is in a neighborhood building like you’d expect a new brewery to be in. Meaning more of an industrial area. Their beer is fantastic and their staff is always great. About their beer, it’s easy for me to say their Java Dragon is in my top ten beers in Colorado Springs.
They had a food truck a lot of the times I’ve been there. When the truck isn’t there, they have an agreement with a local pizza joint that will deliver with a discount if you mention Storybook.

Great local brewery. The owner and staff are incredibly personable and kind. Coming from a place with a lot of local breweries, this places easily sits atop the list. If/​when we return to Colorado Springs we will be back here in a heartbeat.

Out of the many microbreweries that the Springs has to offer, it only took one visit to Storybook for it to become my favorite of them all.
While the location is not as good as others, Storybook more than compensates for that with their excellent beers and unique ambiance. This brewery has the «storybook”/“fairy tale» ish theme going, and it kills it. Beer menus are creatively tucked into old story books and the names of many of their beers keep up with the theme as well. The people behind the bar are so nice, friendly, and down to earth… no beer snobbery here. I only tried two beers here last time – the Last Straw Berry Wheat – light and very drinkable. Can’t remember the other one but I do remember being a very satisfied customer.
I don’t live in town anymore but as a Springs native with family still here, I can guarantee I will be back to visit Storybook again!

Hands down the best brewery in the Springs. They were our 120^th brewery in CO and we are so glad we visited them on our way to Denver. I know, without a doubt, when a brewery is there for the money, fame, for the food or as these guys, for the love to brew. Breweries that venture into being gastropubs and in other areas that aren’t related to beer could be good but aren’t my cup of tea. Brew and serve beer and leave the food to food trucks or catering. Their Nitro Java Dragon Porter was amazing, their décor is awesome (loved the book related theme) and their servers were great. We had a super nice chat with the bar tender. There aren’t many breweries out there that deserve 5 stars, this one does.

Fantastic craft beers in a comfortable atmosphere. Very friendly, attentive staff. Pete, the brewer, is a tremendous guy. Nightly food trucks round it out. Worth a visit!

Eclectic little brewery on the north side of Colorado Springs. I was impressed with the wide variety of beers on tap, perhaps one of the largest selections I’ve found in town. I tried a flight and was impressed with quality of all of them. My two favorites and recommended choices are their Toad Stool IPA and Fur Lisa Kolsch. On the negative side, the tasting room tends to be dark and dreary.

Really great beer from a small local brewery. I tried all their beers and they were pretty well executed all the way around. I prefer IPAs and the Hop Kong Phooey (7.7%ABV) was amazing. The Gnomish Beer Goggles (APA 6.7%ABV) also was a standout. This is by far one of the better breweries that I’ve tried in Colorado Springs. They have food trucks that stop by daily if you’re hungry. I didn’t get a chance to try The Potato Potato truck but it looked delicious. The staff at Storybook was great and the Bar and sitting area were also very nice and welcoming. I will be back!

What a great find. It’s such an odd location but once you step foot inside the atmosphere is awesome! We took a seat at one of their many tables to check out the menu and were quickly greeted by a server. I thought this was a great touch. She was so attentive and had great recommendations. Oh and also, the beer is absolutely DELICIOUS. Seriously some of the best brews I’ve found in Springs. They seem to really take pride in their craft and for good reason. I really have nothing bad to say about this place. The Kolsch is addicting and the bartender recommended a half red-​half brown that was extremely satisfying.

Awesome little brewery and very close to home. Have tried all their beers and found none to be bad. Love the java porter and stout and the new IPA is solid too. Food trucks here frequently. Give it a try…1 downside is they do not open till 4pm.

Great beer, friendly service, and interesting décor in a weird part of town.
Located in a strip-​mall in a spooky part of town, just north of Fillmore, Storybook definitely had a vibe to overcome. This they do in spades.
Firstly, it’s a brewery, let’s talk about the beer: My favorite is their red, which has a rich velvety mouthfeel and a little bit of sweetness. Secondly is their strawberry blonde, made with real strawberries and tasting like something straight out of dessert. Third is their Java-​dragon stout, which they offer on nitro, tasting like a mocha chocolate milkshake (and not in the gross Fort-​Collins Brewery fake-​chocolate kind of way).
The seating is comfortable, there isn’t loud music, and it has a very personal feel to the whole place. It’s great to meet friends and talk. If you friend them on Facebook, they will often let you know what food trucks are planning to be outside. You can tell that it’s a family-​run operation, which I appreciate, and they’ve taken great time and care to put polish on the operation, from the branding to the décor.
Like beer and live in the Springs? Definitely a go-​to.

Great people serving great beer. Come try the Java Dragon Chocolate Porter on Nitro, it’s amazing!

Great small local brewery! Tried the last strawberry it was amazing. Very friendly staff and very good service. Great place to have a brew and a conversation and games.

Storybook Brewing is among my favorite hangouts because I live very close and I can pedal there. Be advised I always rate a brewery higher if I can pedal to it easily. They opened recently and don’t have a bike rack yet, but Pete the owner says they will get one soon. Like Kyle C. I like the Fur Lisa Kölsch and the Gnomish Beer Goggles– American Pale Ale beers. Both are very smooth.
Pete and his staff of young ladies are all very friendly and polite. Service is good. They usually open around 4pm, sometime at 2pm. There is a food truck open most of the time out front from about 5 – 9 for dinner. The exterior is very non-​descript, look for the big «SIT means SIT» Dog training sign of the business next door to help find the place. Location is near the corner of 4^th and El Paso, 4 blocks north of Fillmore.
Beer menus are inserted into old children’s storybooks. Always a nice vibe, a good local hole in the wall kind of place. Women seem to like the place as much as Red Leg.
