On Tap and To Go
On Tap
Idaho Suds
IPA - Session
Our Session IPA brings effervescent hop character and crushability together! Singlehandedly hopped with Idaho 7 hops and brewed predominately with pilsner malt, Idaho Suds is a crisp and hoppy West Coast-Style Session IPA brewed with the intention of high drinkability while experiencing the nuances of hops we love. We taste notes of pine resin, orange peel, and OG cannabis with a light honeydew melon finish.
Frisco Festbier
Märzen
Classic Marzen originally brewed for Oktoberfest, copper in color with a juicy malt character and mild hop bitterness and flavor
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.
Blue River IPA
Cold IPA
German malts and hops come together for a delicious IPA. Munich and light Cara malts provide a sturdy malt backbone for the Hallertau Blanc and Callista hops. Notes of white grape, lemongrass, gooseberry, apricot, and peach with a little diggity dankness on the end.
Gose with the Currant
Gose with Watermelon and Red Currant
Fruited Gose with real Watermelon and Red Currant - the perfect beer to crush after riding some of Colorado's currents!
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.
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.
Kingdom Kolsch
Kölsch
Mt. Royal Red Lager
Lager - Amber / Red
This German Style Red Lager is Smooth and Awesome!
Rookie Guide
Pale Ale - New England / Hazy
The Rookie Guide is an easy drinking hazy pale ale with bright citrus notes and a very clean finish. El Dorado hops might be a bit basic in the realm of hoppy beers, but the Kashmir hops bring out a deliciously unique flavor
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.
OMG, Stout 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!
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!
Banana Split Board Stout
Stout - Other
Our tasty dry stout sweetened with Coconut Cream, Banana puree, and Vanilla for a delicious twist on a new fav!
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.
