It is a crime against humanity and ski culture that the best beer in Summit is not available at the best bar in Summit.

Outer Range and Arapahoe Basin are perfectly aligned in culture, sustainability mission, and general vibe. I mean, just look at their can designs and beer names! Drinking a beer from Boulder, Chico, or Telluride—while satisfying enough—is not nearly as delightful or climate-friendly as sipping on a Top 10 beer in the country (according to Beer Advocate and anyone with tastebuds) that only has to travel 16 MILES from Frisco. A-Basin has dedicated itself to the ideal ski experience by leaving the Epic Fail pass, it’s time to offer non-corporate beer too, while moving closer to goal of being carbon neutral by 2025.

The only downside I can think of is cost. Surely people will be willing to pay a premium for premium beer. If distribution is an issue, I personally pledge to drive kegs to the Basin weekly. 

*I have absolutely no personal affiliation with Outer Range, other than being a huge fan.
