Come out for Team USA's Rafting fundraisers at Broken Compass!

We're thrilled to host the Team USA rafting teams' fundraisers at Broken Compass this week as they gear up for 2014 World Rafting Championships in Brazil.

The women's team fundraiser will take place Wednesday, Sept. 24, beginning at 4 p.m in our taproom, with a poker tournament ($25 buy-in), raffle tickets ($5) and loads of cool swag, not to mention the company of the wonderful women of the Red Lady Raft Racing team. 

The men's fundraiser caps the weekend, so swing by Sunday afternoon starting at 3 p.m. Twenty dollars gets two of our delicious brews, BBQ catered by Moe's and a raffle ticket, with prizes including a Araphoe Basin season ski-pass. 

Join us in supporting your Team USA rafting teams! And as always, in supporting good beer and good company. 

A GABF note from the brewmaster

Just back from dropping off our Great American Beer Festival (GABF) beers! It's been a dream of mine for some time to be on this side of the table! I make the beer but none of this would have been possible without a huge cast of characters. To the entire Broken Compass crew, this is just the beginning of a great ride. A huge thanks to all of the friends and family who took a huge leap of faith to help make this happen. And to the legions of locals and patrons who have made the first three and half months spectacular. A huge shout out to Jason Wiedmaier and Lone Tree Brewing. And of course to Ax, my partner in crime and substitute wife as all of this went down, here's to a long prosperous partnership. And last but not least to my wife, Jolene Ford, I love you to the moon and back. Thanks for 15 years of being awesome and for supporting me and letting my dream take wings! 

Cheers!
Ford

Cheers to seasonal beers

Although Breckenridge is slowly winding into the offseason months of October and November, there is no offseason for beer lovers.

Here at Broken Compass, we're bucking the trend and bolstering out tap list, adding three new beers over the past week and a half. The newcomers offer something for everyone, no matter your taste in beer.

The cool, refreshing finish of the Ginger Pale Ale makes it a perfect companion to a sunny September day. Subtle hints of ginger swirl throughout the ale and into your taste buds, easily paired with picnic lunches or three-course dinners. For those of you searching for a rich, smooth beer, look no further than the Irish Red. A big malt and notes of caramel lead the way for our take on a wonderful Irish tradition, and make for a beer so sippable you won't want to put it down. For the hopheads of the world, revel in our new Double IPA. But be warned, at 8.2% ABV it's no joke. 

And while Oktoberfest may be over, true pumpkin season is right around the corner. So keep your eyes, ears and tongues peeled for a Broken Compass Chocolate Pumpkin Stout (a treat so delectable we'd probably hand it out to trick-or-treaters if it wasn't alcoholic).

Broken Compass Hats are here!

Our first order of Broken Compass hats have arrived just in time for river season. Check out our new swag under the merchandise tab on our website.

Brewing is Imminent!

As the ski season comes to a close here in Breckenridge, Broken Compass Brewing is just starting to pick up speed. After the yeast arrives on Thursday, there should be nothing standing between Ford and brewing our delicious beer in these stainless beauties.

Prepping the tanks for our first big brew.
