On Tap and To Go
On Tap
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
IPA - Other
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.
Pale Nectar Ale
Pale Ale - New England / Hazy
A hazy American Pale Ale using Nectaron Hops from New Zealand with a smidge of El Dorado hops for a delicious juicy experience.
Peach Gose Way
Sour - Fruited Gose
A Fun Peach Infused Version of our Popular Orange Gose Sour!
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
Sour Grapes
Sour - Fruited Gose
Concord grape and limes added to our Gose for a fun purpleish sour
Ginger Cranberry Sour
Sour - Fruited Gose
We took our lightly spiced Gose, added cranberry and ginger for a festive take, then added cayenne pepper for an added kick in honor of Madhur Jaffrey's famous cranberry sauce.
Mt. Royal Red Lager
Lager - Amber / Red
This German Style Red Lager is Smooth and Awesome!
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.
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.
Latte Skiing
Stout - Milk / Sweet
Our tasty Night Skiing Milk Stout aged on coffee beans for an added kick!
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!
Frisco Gold
Blonde Ale
Crisp, Refreshing American Blonde ale
Descent of Man
Sour - Other
An American Stout soured in gin, brandy, and whiskey barrels for several years to create a complex but smooth sour. Notes of chocolate, gin botanicals, and hazelnut, with a Madeira like finish.

Colorado BBQ
Beer and BBQ, can you name a more dynamic duo? We sure can’t, which is why in 2020 we decided to shift all of our kitchen efforts over to BBQ in hopes of creating a food menu that can contend with the beer we have on tap. We think we've hit the nail on the head and can barbecue with the best of them, but I guess you'll just have to swing by and decide for yourself!
