Our Backcountry Tap Room is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a makeshift tap room placed right where adventure happens to debut a new beer. A true embodiment of our Après Everything mentality, these hidden gems reward those willing to sweat their way to a cold refreshing beer, by giving them a beer worth sweating for.
And to make sure we’re taking care of the beautiful backcountry locations that serve as our beer-drinking backdrops for this one of a kind event, we’ve teamed up with our friends at Leave No Trace. Every ticket sold directly benefits their annual Hot Spot Program, which identifies areas suffering from severe human-related impacts that can thrive again with Leave No Trace solutions.

Exclusive Releases
Why put a beer hut in the middle of nowhere? Because that’s exactly where a brand new Upslope was brewed to be enjoyed. And like all of our beers, those debuted at our Backcountry Tap Room are worth the journey. Especially when that journey ends with a sip of a never-before-tasted-Upslope, and one heck of a view.
2024 Release:
The seasonal debut of our Spruce Tip IPA (7.5% – 12 oz)
Be the first to try it this year before you can buy it!
And at 10,350 feet!
