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!
Hops in this batch: Simcoe, Sultana, El Dorado!
Trip Leader
IPA - American
Aromas of pine, grapefruit and hints of tropical fruit blended with a touch of yeasty breadlines. What follows is a delicious blend of citrus and pine finished with a malty backbone. Body and mouthfeel are medium to medium light to allow the hops to shine.
As raft guides go, we like to hit both sides of the river or both “coasts” and this IPA is a representation of that.
Senior Guide IPA
IPA - New England / Hazy
Senior Guide and New England IPA's (NEIPA) are generally low in bitterness and high in hop aroma and flavor. Malt flavor is low with a light, bready, malty character. Mouthfeel is somewhat full bodied from haze forming proteins and yeast still in suspension, the trademark of this style. This combination of light malt , high hopping rate and protein haze help give the requisite "juiciness" that has pushed the New England style to the height of popularity.
Picture of Nectar
IPA - New England / Hazy
Picture of Nectar - our Rotating Hazy IPA series!
Now, we all can have a little fun experiencing a world of hop varieties under one prenotion - nectar is the focus. Hops: Mosaic Dynaboost, Galaxy, and Dolcita!
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.
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.
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.
Kingdom Kolsch
Kölsch
Mt. Royal Red Lager
Lager - Amber / Red
This German Style Red Lager is Smooth and Awesome!
Summit Tradition
Lager - Helles
A crisp and light lager to crack open at the top of the summit - it's only tradition!
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.
They Kiltkenny!
Stout - Irish Dry
OMG the smooth, roasty Dry Stout, Kiltkenny, and is so delicious it might the last stout you'll ever want to drink!
