Tonight kicks off our first ever Tappin’ Tuesday and we’ll be tappin’ into Coffee Porter! Believe it or not, we kinda like beer and now that we have the brewery up and running and our main beers back on tap, we’ve started experimenting with some new flavors and styles of beer. Mark you calendars, tell your friends, every Tuesday night we will tap a keg of something new and different. Coming up in the next few weeks we’ll have a Belgian Blonde, Imperial Stout, Vanilla Porter, Oak Aged Red, Double Hopped IPA, and more.

Is it ski season yet?
Town is starting to fill up with funny looking tourists, we finally have some snow to be grateful for (even though it’s going to be -14 degrees tonight), and the Sheen’s have successfully put Aspen on the holiday celebrity map….again. For these things we are grateful and what better way to give Aspen an excuse to celebrate this week! Join us Thursday, December 8th to adorn our Aspen Brewing Co Christmas tree with your very own ornaments. Bring any and all ornaments you’d like us to hang on our tree and we’ll give you your first beer for $2. It will be our rendition of the Sardy House tree lighting, only nothing like it. Then on Friday, December 9th, to get you in the Christmas caroling mood, come listen to live local musicians Mark Nussmeier (Hurricane Carter) and the Gregger as they lay down multiple guitar loops, drum beats, and vocals to a packed house. Anytime these guys have played at the brewery we get tons of requests to get them back so here’s your chance to see them again. Set #1 will start right around 8PM so get here a little early if you want a seat. Finally, back by popular demand, will be our 3rd Annual Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl on Saturday, December 10th! What better way to welcome in the opening day of Aspen Highlands than a tribute to your ugliest disgrace of a sweater (AKA amazing!). Make those poor sheep proud to have given you the tool to craft your Cosby masterpiece and parade it around Aspen all night. While the fur coats and cowboy hats come out of their off season hibernation, we’ll terrorize downtown at Aspen Brew-friendly establishments like Little Annie’s, Silver Queen, Sky Bar, and Red Onion. Meet us at the tasting room at 9PM to down a cold one before the onslaught begins. If you’re a bartender in Aspen receiving this, consider yourself warned!
The Brewhouse anxiously awaiting to make some beer!
Finally, after months of delays with our equipment, the new brewery at the Aspen Airport Business Center is complete. We are anxiously awaiting our final inspections and our first brew day-hopefully this week! To celebrate, we have 20% off our merchandise online if you “like” our store, and bigger discounts on select merchandise in the Tasting Room on Hopkins ave. Sales will go through the weekend after Thanksgiving. Come by and celebrate with us…the Tasting Room is always open (noon-late every day).
Our beer will resurface in Bars and Restaurants throughout Aspen, Aspen Highlands and Snowmass as well as the Roaring Fork Valley soon. Request it at your favorite valley bar! Check our website for an up to date list of establishments serving Aspen’s finest brew.
Well, it’s obvious we have a lot to celebrate here in Aspen. First, a special thanks to all of the men and women who have served in our armed forces. We raise a cold pint to honor you. Next, we’ll be skiing in Aspen/Snowmass in a week! And finally, Thanksgiving marks our one-year anniversary in the Tasting Room on Hopkins Ave.
So…we’re celebrating with LIVE MUSIC FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHT – Lightning and Thunder with special guest Rain will be rocking the house from 8PM ’til Close Firday. Bar Band is playing Saturday Night 9PM ’til Close.

It’s a school-night, we know…but that doesn’t mean you need to be home by 8PM only to stare at your great costume thinking…I should have gone out, at least for a little while. Or you are going big because Halloween is your favorite holiday. Either way, swing by the Brewery tonight, in costume of course, and you could win some brewery gear! Be there!
