OCC Brewing and Restaurant (Craft Beer & Brewery in Colorado Springs CO)

OCC Brewing and Restaurant in Old Colorado City, Colorado Springs, is a place where the love of science meets the love of a good pint. Co‑founders Dan and Claire Ramos (former wildlife biologists who swapped fieldwork for fermenters) serve up an ever‑changing roster of 16 drafts, ranging from faithful European lagers to daring, modern twists that make you wonder why anyone ever settled for “just a lager.”

The kitchen isn’t an afterthought; it dishes out sandwiches that could win a culinary award, a brisket creation that has become something of a local legend, and a solid selection of vegetarian and gluten‑free options for those who prefer their hops without meat. Weekends bring a brunch that feels like a mini‑holiday, and the front patio lets your dog lounge while you stare at the rooftop deck, where Pikes Peak looms like a reminder that the world outside is just as impressive as the brew inside.

Community isn’t just a buzzword here – fundraising nights and support for local causes are regular fixtures, proving that this brewery is as generous with its spirit as it is with its flavor. Whether you’re perched indoors or outdoors, the view and the beer make for an uncomplicated, thoroughly enjoyable experience.
