Brewery Profile
HighSide Brewery
In Frisco’s mountain-town beer scene, a visitor to HighSide Brewery finds a place built around the rhythm of outdoor days. The taproom is set up for lingering after time on the slopes or trails, with mountain views and a social, casual atmosphere where ski stories and trail reports fit naturally into the room. The beer list is described as broad rather than narrow, covering crisp lagers as well as more adventurous sours, so the first impression is not of a single-style specialist but of a brewery with several entry points for different drinkers. It also operates with a full kitchen and cocktail bar, which makes it more of an all-in stop than a quick tasting-room detour.
Travelers coming through Frisco often look for the same things after a day outside: something cold, something filling, and a place where gear, weather, and plans for tomorrow do not feel out of place. HighSide fits that pattern by pairing its beer lineup with high-elevation Colorado-style BBQ, a food angle that gives the visit a regional feel without requiring a formal dining stop. For beer drinkers, the range from lager to sour gives room for both familiar and exploratory choices. For mixed groups, the cocktail bar matters, because not everyone wants a beer after skiing, hiking, riding, or simply spending the day in the mountains.
For practical planning, HighSide is best approached as a brewery taproom with food service rather than only a place to sample beer. The full kitchen makes it a reasonable choice around lunch, dinner, or the après-adventure window, while the cocktail bar broadens the options for non-beer-focused companions. The atmosphere is described as welcoming to both two-legged and furry friends, though visitors should confirm current pet rules, seating areas, and any seasonal details directly with the brewery. As with most craft breweries, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, especially if you are looking for a specific style such as a lager or sour. The main draw is straightforward: mountain views, a varied tap list, BBQ, and a setting geared toward refueling after time outdoors in Frisco.
Perched high in Frisco, Colorado, HighSide Brewery offers the perfect après-adventure sanctuary where you can swap ski stories while soaking in mountain views from the taproom. They pair their impressively diverse beer lineup—ranging from crisp lagers to adventurous sours—with unique, high-elevation Colorado-style BBQ. With a full kitchen, cocktail bar, and a welcoming atmosphere for both two-legged and furry friends, HighSide is the essential stop for refueling after a day on the slopes or trails.
