Fairplay
Highside in the high country. If you’ve never been to the charming town of Fairplay, you’re absolutely missing out. The smell of smoked BBQ fills the air in the wide open South Park County. Step inside for amazing mountain-crafted beers (rotating seasonal selections as well as staples you just can’t live without) and Colorado-style BBQ right from the smoker. Hang out inside and catch a game on one of many big screens, challenge yourself to some classic pinball and arcade games, or shoot some pool. Then, head outside to our dog-friendly patio and enjoy some epic views of the mountains.

Fairplay
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.
Wander West
IPA - West Coast
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!
Senior Guide IPA
IPA - New England / Hazy
Highside's core Hazy IPA, Senior Guide! Mosaic, Citra, and Azacca give this beer plenty of orange citrus flavor and mango stone fruit aromas, while it stays low in bitterness. Wheat, oats, and a high hopping rate help give the requisite "juiciness" that has pushed the New England style to the height of popularity. Whether you're out rafting some of Colorado's great rapids or just cracking a cold one after a long day, Senior Guide is sure to quench your thirst!
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!
Mountain Sprite
Fruited IPA - Lemon-Lime
Mountain Sprite, a low bitterness Juicy IPA with Lemon and Lime juice added for a refreshing summer crusher!
Kingdom Kolsch
Kölsch
Pro-Czech Ya Neck
Pilsner - Czech / Bohemian
Pro-Czech ya Neck begins with classic earthy and flowery Noble hop aromas with a waft of malty goodness. The flavor starts with a deft interplay of malt sweetness and hop bitterness that quickly counter each other for a balanced taste with only a slight linger of hop bitterness. Earthy, flowery hop flavor leads to a pleasant lemon pithy and light malt end. Higher carbonation levels lend a palette scrubbing effect that adds to the clean, crisp, and smooth finish that is expected of a quality Pilsener.
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.
173 Steps Pale
Hoppy Lager
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!
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.
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.
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!
