Flying dog does have a few nice brews. The only one I'm not crazy about is their Pale, which is odd in that I like most pales.

I feel as though we've had this thread before . . .
But I like Lake Placid's Frostbite Ale . . . Nice and hoppy

Magic Hat Moose Madness is a Bolton Valley signature brew, generally available at one or more of the on-hill bars. I'm not a huge fan--it reminds me too much of an IPA, and I generally don't like IPAs. The Sunday River Alt is my favorite ski area microbrew, but it's more of a summer beer (and that was the context in which I was drinking them).

Also try the Headwall Alt. Good stuff and better than the Pale Ale IMHO. Widcat serves Tuckerman Pale Ale on tap.
I have a great memory of May 5, 2007: spring skiing with BobR, jerryg and snoseek at the Cat and hanging out on the deck sipping Tuckerman Ale. Great way to wind down the season.

Some of my favorite skiing nights were spent with the whole crew at the rack over countless sixers of 16 oz pbrs.
Just got the motivation for a 'best skiing bar thread'. The rack, moguls, materhorn and ppeppers come to mind.
Sadly, as it is one of the NELSAPs of this thread, before it was Mendacino's East coast distribution point, Olde Saratoga Brewery was called Ten Springs Brewing Co., and their Whiteface Pale Ale was an extremely tasty ride with an amazing label ta' boot.
What I've found is that most 'ski area brews' are nothing more than something typically offered from a brewery with a different label.
This isn't true for the small breweries. Shed Mountain Ale for example is what it is, but plenty of places I've been offer a 'house brew' from a major micro-brewery that is nothing more than a standard brew with a different label.
Anyone know of any mountains that have a 'house brew' made by a specific brewery that is actually unique and not a re-label?

But ya' still gotta love that name; Doggie Style Pale Ale.
CUT THE LEASH!
p.s.- And now that I think about it, I was out visiting my friends in
Aspen, and they were doing a Flying Dog promotion at some bar. Part of the giveaways were these condoms with their logo, and the caption, "For That Special Bitch!"

Cannon usually has 1 or 2 taps at the base serving local micros. They had Tux about half the time last season, and a couple that I can't recall the rest. I have to break from the general AZ sentiment (not expressed in this thread) and say that I'm not very fond of any offerings from that brewery in North Woodstock, but their food is pretty good.
The house labels at Snoqualmie and Stevens were typically quite good--which is to say they had more of a East Coast than North West Microbrew taste/mouth feel.

Tucks is up there with the best, and likeHat, thankfully, you can get it anywhere now really. Shed in Stowe is solid, as is Moat Mountain in the Conway area, which brews a pretty good beer. Had more Shipyards thean I can remember apres at the River last year.

Love it. If only because it reminds me of Summer nights on the Saint Lawrence River.
That is true, the tram ale is the same as the smuggs one etc. which is basically the same as Hit the Trail. Just different labels.

Anyone try the new 5288 stout from Tuckermans? Had some this weekend after sampling it at a tasting. Awesome stout. Apparently they've only created two batches of it, and it only comes in 4-packs. Hopefully they brew more in the future.
really? i will have to try to find some, i am a big fan of stouts, tho not a ski area brew goos island in chicago makes a great oatmeal stout thank for the heads up
