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.
Also, our cold-weather MERCHANDISE is ON SALE…Thermal Long-sleeve’s are $25, Grey Hoodies $30, Sweatpants $20, Long-sleeve T’s $22 and Orange Hunting Hats $15. Come and get your ABC gear now or buy online from our website before it’s too late.

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!
Winning!
What an amazing weekend in Moab! We left Aspen in the snow early Saturday morning to support our riders and friends at what might be the last 24 Hours of Moab mountain bike race. Despite a cold and rainy start to the race, the weather cleared and conditions were perfect. Our official team: Tiziano, Tom, Ian and Shawn dominated the Sport Division, winning by almost a full lap! Our good friends John and Pete Gaston were racing on the Honey Stinger Bee Team, while representing Strafe Outerwear and Aspen Brewing Company in sweet skin suits. I wish I had more photos of that!
Honey Stinger Bee Team won the Pro Division and first place Overall. The Aspen Brewing Company team won first Place in the Sport Division and third place overall! The Roaring Fork Valley was all over this race, and the Vail Valley simply could not keep up. Nice work guys!
What an awesome weekend…24 Hours of Moab needs your help. With a record low number of teams in all divisions this year, it might have been the last race. Get a team together and enter now to ensure this amazing event continues!
If you’re worried about the forecast in Aspen this weekend, or need a little time beyond the roundabout, head out to Moab, UT and come support Aspen Brewing Company’s bike team at 24 Hours of Moab! Tiziano (of L’Hostaria) Ian, Tom and Sean (not pictured) are riding fast and hoping to climb their way to the podium this year! Our friends John & Pete Gaston of Strafe Outerwear will be there throwing it down in the pro division as well!
Head 12 miles south of Moab on highway 191 to the Start/Finish and Camping area and look for the brewery tent…we’ll be there supporting our riders, with beers of course! See you there.
