Craft beer fans thirsting for WestFax Brewing Company suds, fresh from the tap in Colorado Springs, will have to wait a little longer.

The much-anticipated “soft grand opening” of the taproom at 31st Street and Pikes Peak Avenue, originally planned for Friday, has been postponed, according to an announcement from the Lakewood-based brewer.

The brewery attributed the delay to “unforeseen circumstances and setbacks” with several vendors, after a remodel and build-out that began in 2019 under a different Colorado beer brand, WeldWerks Brewing Co. of Greeley.

WestFax took over in late 2022, after WeldWerks pulled out of the project.

WestFax didn’t set a new date for the soft opening of its taproom, at 3043 W. Pikes Peak Ave., but said the announcement would come “soon.”

“While we’re just as bummed as you are about having to delay our opening just a bit longer, we are still committed to giving you the best WestFax Springs experience possible and can’t wait to open our doors soon,” according to the statement.

WestFax opened in Lakewood in 2016, and the Springs taproom is its first expansion.
