Whether you have experienced the Sample Flight Slalom Challenge or not, you definitely need to stop by the Brewery tonight at 6pm to watch the premier of Zane Lamprey’s Drinking Made Easy Aspen episode. Zane, Steve and the crew bar hop through Aspen’s favorite establishments, coming up with drinking shenanigans throughout. Come laugh your Wednesday away with us!
Holy Cans! Yep, we just unloaded a full semi-trailer of This Season’s BlondeCans. Just over 205,000 of them to be exact.
Yes, it’s true! Our fourth anniversary is this Saturday, St. Patty’s Day, and we are celebrating all week long! Sure, it may seem like we’ve only been open a year or so, but with our IPA at 7%ABV (and often a little higher), time flies by! Come join us for a celebratory pint of your favorite local brew, we have all nine draft lines flowing!
Beer, beer and more beer!
It’s Tuesday again, and that means we’re tapping another specialty pilot brew. This week, Chase infused a blend of spices, including sweet orange peel, lemon grass, coriander and black berry leaves into This Season’s Blonde. Bring your special someone by for a pint of our Spiced Blonde before it’s gone!
Also, back after a long hiatus…Ajax Pilser! Tasting better than ever, especially after fresh pow.
Lightning and Thunder are making moves and breaking into new ground with the addition of a bass player. The newly formed three piece is playing better than ever, looking for a new name, and continuing to expand their repertoire of classics both new and old. The trio takes stage at 8PM Friday.
The Bar Band is back Saturday Night laying down covers of The Doors, Talking Heads, Jimi Hendrix and more. These guys rock, it’s that simple. Music starts at 8PM Saturday.
Broman drinks Imperial Stout...you can too.
Yep, it’s Tuesday again, and that means we’ll be tapping a new keg this afternoon. If you remember the days of our Tenth Mountain Oatmeal Stout, then you’ll be sure to stop in today for a pint of our latest creation…Imperial Stout. Dark and smokey, deliciously smooth, our latest batch of Imperial Stout very well might be the perfect beer for a cold winter day. $4 Pints, $2.50 1/2 Pints.
Sorry, no growlers or pitchers of our Tappin’ Tuesday brews.

Wow, we have a lot to be thankful for… A couple days ago there was a nice English couple in the tasting room and after offering them a pint, Danny discovered that they had found us through their Lonely Planet guide book! We had no idea that Lonely Planet even had a page for Aspen, let alone a spot with our name on it (not to mention the “Top Choice” icon next to our name)! Also mentioned was the Woody Creek Tavern, Victoria’s, Eric’s, and J-Bar. Thank you English couple and thank you Lonely Planet!
Then, a friend tells me that she saw us in American Airlines’ magazine Celebrated Living. Really? It is a feature about ski destinations and the apres scenes. We not only got mentioned next to the Little Nell and SKY, but the Aspen photo was of our beer! Check it out here: http://www.celebratedliving.com/aspen-garibaldi-lift-company-bar-nell-hotel Sick!

Liquid Assets—by Amiee White Beazley.
After almost 10 years without a single keg of beer being commercially produced in Aspen, things are about to change.
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) ― Aspen is finally jumping on the craft-beer wagon, with three young entrepreneurs planning to open the Aspen Brewery in December.
Although craft-beer breweries dot the state, this upscale resort town had been left out until now.
