It's a fun vibe, especially with a larger group, but harder to talk because it is loud. There are three drink stations--wine, mixed drinks, and beer. Our party sampled all of them. Very nice. Everything is connected when you start a tab, so you don't have to worry about paying at each station. My wife and I shared the sanctuary salad--delightful! We add bacon as our protein and had the smoked tea vinaigrette--doesn't sound like much, but it made the salad great! Daughters ordered the charcuterie board, which was delicious. And we ordered the chocolate mousse for desert--very rich, like fudge. Mmm. Highly recommended!! If you are in Colorado Springs you have to try it. Service was very, very good. At the end of the night, I asked my wife how much she thought it cost for the four of us to have dinner and drinks. She said, "$200." It was $120 with tip.

I met Dan while I was advertising the Humane Society's Pawtoberfest and to pick up a donation for the Humane Society's Fur Ball. Thank you for supporting the animals! I visited to have some mead and was quite happy that the menu has a quick note on the sweetness of the drink which helped me to choose my flight. I thought the PB&J was quite fun, because you can really smell the peanut butter! I think my favorite was French Blue or BBA Solstice. I invited some friends from work and they also enjoyed their drinks, unanimously voting the BBA Solstice as their favorite drink. There isn't food available in the meadery, BUT that means that you can bring in your own food to enjoy with your mead including a friendly food truck and nearby restaurants. There is a Pokemon Go Pokestop accessible from the meadery.

I ordered the Half Brisket & Grilled Cheese--smoked brisket, Gouda cheese spread, fried onion, arugula, and green chiles on sourdough. It came with fries and a small salad, all for just $12. I thought that was a fantastic deal, and the sandwich was delicious. We sat out on the dog-friendly patio, which made it even more enjoyable. Our service was quick, and our server was very friendly. And, of course, the star of the meal was Sophie. She absolutely loved her Barcuterie Board...although she politely left the carrots and celery behind. A fun, casual lunch with good beer, good food, and a very happy pup.

This one star isn't so much of an "it was bad" rating as opposed to "it lacked an experience"…read morerating. Not that there wasn't some frustration involved. Steven and I have practically become beer snobs overnight. With this in mind we are always looking for another brewery to try. Along the way we also got a taste for mead as well. Colorado is mostly known for their breweries but there are a handful of meaderies in the state as well. Almost all of them seem to be ran out of some body's home. Calling to see if a tasting can be arranged can be difficult. Some of the ones we tried to go to before act like they don't even want you to come over and try what they have to offer. One meadery owner acted like she was selling illegal drugs and said that she didn't want us to come over without an appointment and have the neighbor's become aroused because they see a strange car in the driveway. Hmmm. Colorado's breweries and meaderies are listed in a guide, a map if you will that indicates the various breweries in the state. The map has jumped the gun on several occasions and we went to breweries that haven't even opened yet. The brewery guide and map has been however accurate with hours of business with these places listed. Which brings me to the Black Forest Meadery. This was the only meadery that seemed to have established hours without the comment 'call for information' . This gave us the idea that this place was more established and ready to receive guests. The GPS led us through different parts of Black Forest, CO and eventually to a residence where the meadery is. There was a sign that indicated we were indeed at the meadery with an additional sign that said there was a wine tasting today. Under the sign that had the said name was a phone number to call to have a gate open to get to the residence. We called without no answer which eventually led to an answering machine saying that we reached Black Forest Meadery. Yes, we KNOW that already from the sign. There was no information stating their hours, just in case the map got it wrong again. Totally deflated we went back to the Interstate with no mead. So was the map wrong? Who knows. This leads me to my final rant of going to homes that run a business inside them. The residents can totally make up their own rules. That is fine but if customers get the idea that you will be around and you are not... well the customer feels kind of screwed. It may all be a question of seriousness too. Maybe selling puppies and making mead is more of a hobby and you aren't really open for business till you need some extra money on the side? Who knows what peoples motivations are. After some further thought it might had been a good idea that no one was there to let us through the gate. It might have been a very pressuring experience where a couple is reeeeeally pushing you into buying some mead or that puppy or whatever. Then you feel bad if you don't buy anything and they get frustrated at you because 'lil Susie had to wait fifteen minutes after soccer practice because they were dealing with the likes of you. It takes pressuring 'used car dealership' type sales to a whole new level because you are in some body's domain and not in your own or out in a neutral area. Who knows, maybe none of these stereotypes would come true at Black Forest Meadery there was no way to tell. That gate did not open.
