Skiing and drinking beer are two beloved Colorado activities, though it’s not in your best interest to do both at the same time. Look for these snow-worthy brews at your favorite local liquor store, or head for their namesake mountains to toast your perfect powder day.

Little Mo’ Porter

Elevation Beer Co., Poncha Springs

This robust porter is named after brewers’ favorite ski run at Monarch Mountain. Expect a balanced brew that’s malt forward with a lingering sweetness of chocolate and coffee.

Bernese Mountain Brown Ale

Guanella Pass Brewery, Georgetown

Parker the Snow Dog, the official mascot of Loveland Ski Area, has inspired his own brew. His last birthday party at the brewery raised over $1,100 for furry friends at the nearby animal shelter, thanks to proceeds from the balanced American brown ale, hopped with a touch of piney flavor.

Pray for Snow

10 Barrel Brewing Company, Denver

It’s every skier’s and snowboarder’s mantra, and the herbally-spiced winter ale is an annual favorite. Even better, 1 percent of all Pray for Snow sales benefits the climate advocacy group Protect Our Winters. 

Avy Dog Ale

Blue Spruce Brewing Company, Littleton

Who doesn’t love the four-legged heroes of backcountry search and rescue? This medium-bodied oatmeal pale ale gives them their due, with a Patrol Shack partnership that directs a portion of sales to snow safety and rescue nonprofits.

Out of Bounds Stout

Avery Brewing Co., Boulder

Don’t worry about that double black diamond “Experts Only” warning on the can. This big, roasty stout is just right with a hearty barbecue platter after you hang up your skis for the day.

Face Down Brown

Telluride Brewing Co., Telluride

Every skier knows the epic fail pictured on the can of Face Down Brown. The beer, however, boasts multiple podium finishes at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup, thanks to toffee, chocolate and nut flavors.
