The food is classic brewery eats: simple fare made with high-quality ingredients, like sides of mashed potatoes with the skins still on, cooked with butter and milk, with a pool of gravy in the center. Salads range from the traditional (chicken Caesar) to the unexpected (mango spinach with delicious candied almonds on top). Burgers can be ordered with a variety of tasty toppings, including several cheeses and sliced avocado. Veggie burgers are also available. Fish and chips are freshly fried and filled with bright white cod, sitting atop mounds of delicious fries.

Apres-ski, sample one of their own microbrews, like a tasty Oatmeal Stout or an Avalanche Lager. The Pale Ale was also a hit at our table. There should be five or six microbrew choices on the menu at any given time. Happy hours, DJ nights, and other events ensure that you will be entertained while noshing on typical (but again, really nicely prepared) bar snacks like chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and cheese fries with cheddar and Monterey Jack.

If you’re into souvenirs, this is a fun place to buy T-shirts, shot glasses, or pint glasses with the logos of their different beers. The beers, by the way, are also sold in several restaurants around town, but the souvenirs are not. The quality of the souvenir merchandise is just as high as the food, although the prices are equally high. Just one word to the wise: they will not seat you for lunch until the entire party has arrived, and are even a bit obnoxious about it if you try arguing "oh, he’s just parking the car!" I think our hostess actually rolled her eyes at us when we tried that angle.
