It's no surprise that Colorado takes the cake when it comes to both skiing and drinking in the United States. The competition was fierce, with other top contenders like Tahoe, Whistler, Vermont, and Jackson Hole. However, Colorado managed to secure not one, but two spots on USA Today's latest list of the best après-ski bars in North America. And, to top it all off, the number one spot went to none other than a brewery.
Coming in at number 8 on the list is The Fitz at Manor Vail Lodge in Vail. This cozy spot is a favorite among foodies and families alike, serving up delicious comfort food with a touch of flair. USA Today raves about their mouth-watering menu, featuring dishes like grilled mahi-mahi fish tacos, a rib-eye sandwich, and the famous Fitz Burger. And, of course, their impressive selection of local draft beers makes it the perfect spot to grab a drink after a day on Vail's incredible slopes.
But, taking the top spot at number 1 is Outer Range Brewing in Frisco. This brewery is not only known for their amazing beers, but also for their commitment to giving back to the community. In fact, they donate 1% of their equity, profit, product, and time to The Summit Foundation, which supports the Summit County community. And, with their prime location in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, their famous Thai-ish fried chicken has become a post-skiing favorite.
Although USA Today's writeup on Outer Range may be brief, we can vouch for the fact that this two-story brewery is jam-packed and lively all year round. Founded in 2016 by Lee and Emily Cleghorn, the brewery has even expanded to a second location in Sallanches, France, a popular ski town in the French Alps. And, their hazy IPAs and double IPAs have gained a lot of attention, earning them a spot on The Denver Post's list of 10 must-visit breweries and distilleries in Colorado.
