Breckenridge Taproom
Wander West
IPA - American
Highside's Hop Exploration Series! Our modern West Coast IPA using rotating hops, hop-products, and techniques. Made with a consistent lean, dry, and crisp base, hops truly shine. Come explore a world of hops with Highside!
Scenic Fruit Loops
IPA - Fruited
A low-bitterness, cocktail inspired, Juicy IPA we brewed with our friends at Strange Craft Beer Co to highlight the upcoming Brewers Rendezvous in Salida on July 11th and the plethora of scenic loops around our beautiful state! Hop-derived tropical citrus flavors along with added purees of Blood Orange, Pineapple, and Lime kick up the juicy character and make a crushable summer IPA!
XPA
Pale Ale - XPA (Extra Pale)
New Zealand meets the American West Coast in this hop-forward crusher. Motueka brings bright lemon-lime zest and ripe papaya, while Mosaic layers in bold mango and blueberry with complex dank, earthy undertones - a pure expression of these two standout varieties.
Dry, crisp, and lean at 5.4%, Highside XPA delivers big aromatics with a clean, refreshing finish.
Kingdom Kolsch
Kölsch
Hoosier Hefe
Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen
Our take on the classic German Hefeweizen. Unfiltered and unfined, Hoosier Hefe bursts with notes of bubblegum, banana, and yeast-derived clove. Brewed using wheat and german hops, our Hefeweizen is balanced, and refreshing; a beer to look forward to on either side of Hoosier pass.
Side-Piste Pilsner
Pilsner - Other
French Malt with French Aramis and Mistral Hops make for a unique flavor profile in this crisp, hoppy Pilsener style brew. The French Hops provide a noble like spicy, herbal quality with subtle notes of peach and melon with a citrusy background. French Pilsen and Vienna Malts lend a solid backbone with a slightly sweet finish.
Snap, Paddle, Pop!
Lager - Japanese Rice
A snappy, flavorful lager brewed with Jasmine rice, toasted rice, and terrified rice, along with Pilsner malt and Sultana hops. Pilsner malt and rice paddle together to form a crushable base for Sultana hops to pop with flavors of citrus, pineapple, and berries.
173 Steps Pale
Lager - Pale
173 steps from the Breckenridge Gondola, you'll find this easy drinking lager at our Breck Taphouse! With a generous dose of Alora hops. A light malt sweetness tempers the light bitterness letting flavors of subtle apricot, yuzu fruit, and sweet melon shine.
Mt. Royal Red Lager
Lager - Amber / Red
This German Style Red Lager is Smooth and Awesome!
Smoked High
Lager - Smoked
Our Amber Smoked-Lager; made with our base Pale Malt, a blend of caramel and dark malts, and Beechwood-Smoked Malt, giving it flavors of caramel, light toffee, and a balanced smoky character while finishing clean and crisp. Smoked barbecue and a smoked lager - a match made in heaven.
Pair "Smoked High" with smoked wings, brisket, sausage, or our smoked turkey Cali Club.
Then again… we’re COBBQ. Everything’s smoked high at 10,000 ft — and this beer was made for it!
Saison DuPark
Farmhouse Ale - Saison
Highside's take on Saison; Inspired by the great, but delicately dry-hopped with Motueka and Hallertau blanc for a little flair. Notes of Lemon, white grape, and bubblegum with a refreshing, light-bodied finish.
I'm Your Huckleberry
Sour- w/ Huckleberry & Lavender
Our gold medal-winning fruited sour is loaded with real huckleberry concentrate and lavender giving it a complex, yet highly drinkable fruit and floral flavor. Tart, yet highly drinkable, this fruited sour ale is a great refreshment for the summer weather.
Can't Dew Better
Sour - Fruited Gose
If you've ever sat in the heart of Frisco, dog-leash in one hand and a cold beer in the other, looked up at Mt. Royal and said "I really can't do better than this", we at Highside can relate! Made with real Honeydew and Cantaloupe, this refreshing sour is sure to dew the trick on a warm day!
Night Skiing
Stout - Milk / Sweet
Chocolate flavors, milk silkiness with the right balance of dark roasted malts for a smooth run. It is exciting, just like skiing down the slopes at night. Pure heaven in a glass!
