Beer Menu

 Enos Pils • German-style Pilsner • 5.2%

Enos Mills was a naturalist, writer, and homesteader largely known for his contributions to the founding of Rocky Mountain National Park. This German-style Pilsner, the foundation of many breweries, is dry & crisp, showcasing a raw, grainy malt presence with just a hint of honey. Assertive noble hops display subtle black pepper over green tea, making this lager perfect for a sunny summer day. • Featured ingredients: Pilsner malt, Hallertau Mittelfrueh & Saphir hops • Recommended adventure: soaking your legs in the North Fork of the Big Thompson River after running Crosier Mountain

 Oktoberfest • German-style Märzen • 6.7%

In honor of the prince of Bavaria’s wedding 200 years ago, we celebrate the changing of seasons, the turning of leaves, and the bugling of elk with our version of a Märzen. This brew showcases an aroma of slightly toasted, bready, and biscuity malts with a floral spice from the hops, and a flavor that is subtly caramel sweet with a balanced, dry finish. • Featured ingredients: Vienna & Munich malts and Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops • Recommended adventure: Driving the Peak-to-Peak Highway to see aspen leaves in early morning light, hiking to Loomis Lake

Eschaton • American Strong Ale • 7.5%

Named in reference to a complicated geopolitical tennis game in one of Kate’s favorite novels, Eschaton is originally an Ancient Greek term for the final event in human history. Brewed as a project to celebrate her Master Brewer Certification, this American Strong Ale (a style between barleywine and IPA) opens with a rich malt character of rye, dark caramel, cherry, and plum, then finishes with a strong, bitter hop presence adding spice, rose, and pine. This beer contains multitudes, just like Kate herself. • Featured ingredients: Special B malt & Rakau hops • Recommended adventure: Wearing a beanie, Listening to Kendrick, reading DFW or Cormac McCarthy, playing Cribbage, Skiing Hidden Valley

 Goblin Forest • Black IPA • 7.4%

Take the dark, gnarly path into the Goblin Forest, our black IPA and one of our favorite spots on the Longs Peak trail. A fusion of an IPA and a stout, this beer is roasty with notes of dark coffee and pine. • Featured ingredients: Biscuit & Debittered Chocolate malts and Simcoe, Chinook, & Northern Brewer hops • Recommended adventure: hiking Chasm Lake, sunset viewing in Moraine Park, building a snow cave

 Galactic Portal • Hazy IPA • 6.3%

As turbulent water rushes from Grand Lake to the East Portal on its way to sustain Estes and the Front Range, we draw inspiration for this powerful, hazy IPA. With a healthy dose of Australian Galaxy hops, known for notes of citrus, passion fruit, and pineapple, this beer has a bounty of fruit flavor and a silky mouthfeel. • Featured ingredients: Oats & Wheat and Galaxy, Motueka, El Dorado, Citra, & Mosaic hops • Recommended adventure: kayaking Lake Estes, hiking Sky Pond and Lake of Glass, stargazing in Hermit Park

 Canyon Crusher • Light Lager w/ Lime • 3.9%

Inspired by the refreshing nature of Mexican lagers, we offer this light bodied, crisp, crushable beer. To make the flavor pop even more, we’ve infused this lager with lime zest and pulp for a bright citrus flavor throughout. • Featured ingredients: Pilsner & Acidulated malts, Cashmere hops, and lime. • Recommended adventures: Relaxing in a hammock, backpacking to Sunbeach Lake, tubing the Big Thompson River

  Wooden Otter ‘26 • Rye Whisky and American Single Malt Barrel-aged English Barleywine

A revision from our first barleywines, this beer is darker, richer, and much stronger than earlier iterations. The opening notes are dominated with complex malt starting as dark toast, caramel, and toffee, followed by undertones of chocolate, and finishing with dark, dried fruits of cherry and plum. The barrel-aging adds aromatics of oak, vanilla, and the whisky itself to provide the balance to those deep malts. • Recommended adventure: Finding a quiet spot far away from Matt and Kate or your glass might vanish • Maximum of two 8oz pours per guest

 Wooden Mayhem ‘26 • Barrel-aged Imperial Stout
2022 GABF Medal

Combine our Russian Imperial Stout recipe with a six hour boil and fifteen months in whisky barrels, and what follows is pure Wooden Mayhem. The aroma opens with rich fudge, molasses, pipe tobacco, licorice, and toffee, and finishes with dates and dried dark cherries, balancing the roast and leading into the oak of the Boulder Spirits single malt barrel adding vanilla and whisky. This is a strong, flavorful stout: crafted and blended to perfection. • Featured ingredients: Molasses, Roasted malts • Recommended adventure: Contemplating your life ethos by a fire

 Old Fashioned ‘26 • Cocktail-inspired Ale

For the return of our first cocktail-inspired beer, the old fashioned, we used a blend of our barrel-aged Colorado Cask Ypsilon and Steel Otter to create a caramel base with a solid oak and whisky roundness. The Otter adds the initial fruit notes, but we enhanced it with cherries and orange bitters for the added sweetness and spice of the classic cocktail. • Featured ingredients: Bordeaux cherry juice, bitters • Recommended adventure: Playing chess, Climbing Kor’s Flake • Maximum of two 8oz pours per guest

 Snowy River ‘26 • Red Wine Grape Sour

Fermenting with our spontaneous and wildly captured culture, we barrel-aged this beer and then rested it on grape must from our friends up the street at Snowy Peaks Winery. The lemon & pear of the base beer, River Culture, combine with strong plum and mixed berry notes from the grapes for a tart beer with dry tannins and a gorgeous, rich pink color. • Recommended adventure: visiting Snowy Peaks for a wine tasting
