Tappin' Tuesday - Vanilla Porter

Tappin’ Tuesday is back…Today we’ll be tappin’ a keg of Vanilla Porter.  Come by before it runs out!

Go Big or Go Home!

Oh yeah, we’re going extreme this weekend to celebrate the 2012 ESPN Winter X Games.  FREE LIVE MUSIC Friday and Saturday Nights, $4 PINTS of Aspen’s favorite beer, and awesome GRUB from Aspen’s Over Easy Cafe.  Every hour is happy hour…that means $4 Pints and $15 Pitchers of locally made craft beers, light to dark.  We open every day at noon, and stay open until the party is over; that means late.  Also, our hard Cider will be back on tap!  Local Apple Cider fermented with wild & Champagne yeasts. 

Raise your hand (or a pint) if you like to get EXTREME!

The Great American Ale Trail

The Great American Ale Trail, by Christian DeBenedetti, is an amazing resource for beer drinkers everywhere.  Wherever you live or travel in the US, including Alaska and Hawaii, this book should be your guide to the best beers around.  Whether its a brewery, brew pub, or great bar featuring craft beer, you will have “a roadmap for taste-bud adventure.”  Come check out the book at the ABC before you realize you cannot live without your own!
