Enjoy relaxing spa treatments and locally brewed craft beer this August at Oakwell Beer Spa. In this article, we’ll discuss Oakwell’s spa treatments and which beers from Pikes Peak Brewing Company you can enjoy.
Every month, we partner with a local Colorado brewery and share five of their best beers on tap. We also have nourishing beer-inspired spa services for a unique spa day experience.
Fun Facts About Pikes Peak Brewing Company
Pikes Peak is a brewery, brewpub, and beer garden in Monument, Colorado, just outside Colorado Springs. Before diving into which beers you can enjoy this August at Oakwell Beer Spa, let’s look at a few fun brewery facts.
- Pikes Peak was established in May 2011 by owner Chris Wright, who had been a homebrewer for 15 years.
- The brewery began as a small, 10-barrel brewery with a small tasting room that has since expanded.
- Today, the taproom is a lively pet and family-friendly space with indoor seating and an expansive beer garden, serving a large selection of beer, food, wine, and canned cocktails.
- In 2020, Pikes Peak also opened the Lager House in Downtown Colorado Springs to produce some of the best lagers in the area.
- Pikes Peak is known for creating a space that brings the community together. Recently, they had a John Denver celebration with several bands that brought in a large crowd. The brewery’s atmosphere perfectly fits their motto, “Life is better when lived together.”
- The Tejon Mexican Lager, which you can enjoy this August at Oakwell, was created in 2019 for Pikes Peak’s 8th anniversary. It’s still one of their most popular beers.
