We just wrapped up an incredible desert trek through Moab, and we were making our way back toward Denver. There was absolutely no way we were driving past the Frisco exit without pulling off. Outer Range is our ultimate mountain pit stop. They have an awesome location with a stunning modern build and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the fresh mountain air. It is wild to think that we just visited their sister location in the French Alps during our recent European travels. The fact that they can maintain total excellence across two different continents is unreal. The two spots are completely equal, and the Colorado taproom continues to prove why they are world-class. The beers were spectacular as always. We started out with a couple of pints of their New England-style juice. In the Steep is a masterclass in the style with a beautiful, pillowy mouthfeel and heavy tropical notes. Sun in the Clouds was just as impressive. It delivers those bright citrus flavors without the aggressive hop bitterness. I even noticed Cross Flow on the tap list, which is a fresh, hazy collaboration they just put out with Casey Brewing. Before packing back into the truck, we made sure to grab a new metal tacker to hang up in the garage. We also snagged a four-pack of Lil John Wayne. The can art is easily the funniest label on the shelf, but the actual beer is a solid ten out of ten. To fuel the final stretch of the drive home, we ordered from Bird Craft right inside the brewery. They do not cut corners here. They are frying up full wings, including the drummies and the flippers, and they will toss them in any of their house sauces for an incredible snack. The skin stays remarkably crispy even under a thick coat of sauce, and the meat stays perfectly juicy. It is exactly the kind of savory comfort food you need after a long road trip. Every single time we stop by this place, they manage to completely knock it out of the park. read more

Came here after a day at Copper Mountain - great for groups and huge selection of IPA/DIPAs (with some selection of other beers). They have a "Thai-ish" fried chicken spot as their food vendor, which is pretty good. Their pork belly fried rice and bird bowl was also good. Decent spot if you're in the area, tough to get a spot on weekends (find your own table as people leave). read more

We were on our way to Grand Junction, CO and we looked on Yelp to find a lunch place. Outer Range Brewery had good reviews so we decided to try it out. We lucked out because inside the building was a chicken takeout place called Bird Craft as well as a coffee shop. We ordered lunch at Bird Craft and ate it while we enjoyed a beer at Outer Range. We really enjoyed the Depth Finder Stout with its mixture of coffee, cocoa and vanilla, so we bought a 6 pack to go. The service was good, the bartender was nice and we loved the mountain view. read more

We dropped into Outer Range Brewing Co after a morning volunteer shift at Summit Valley Horse Center. Outer Range had everything we were looking for: views and brews... and a lot of fur babies. This brewery is counter service only (you can start a tab), and take your ID up, no matter if it's your third time ordering at the counter-they card everyone every time. There's a front and side patio, as well as a second level with another outdoor deck/patio. Hungry? Hop in line at Bird Craft, the "Thai-ish" fried chicken shop. Loved the fruity sour on tap (think it was called "Sun Stripes). read more

GOOD VIBES AT ORB This is my favorite brewery ever!!! If you are in Frisco, don't pass up going here. Beers are incredible, staff are so friendly and welcoming, great tunes playing, and they organize fun events for the community. Thanks Outer Range! (Please make more sour beers) read more

Came here after a long day of snowboarding and it was the perfect apres ski! It was packed on a Saturday evening, with the line for food out the door. The window was slammed, the menu sounded yummy so I can only imagine why. I waited in line for five minutes and then realized I had about about 45 minutes to wait if I wanted to eat there so we decided to just grab a couple beers and eat elsewhere. We tried the pie one (i can't remember the name, but delicious)! And my boyfriend had a hazy ipa. The beers change so often it's hard to keep up. Both were so yummy, we found a cool comfortable high-top table on the second floor which has an open courtyard style floor plan letting you see the downstairs from your table. Makes the place feel bigger. Love the cabin aesthetic and very cool art, comfy couches too although they were all full. Definitely will be back our next time in Frisco! read more

If you're in Frisco, this brewery is a must! Chill vibes, staff are very friendly, great beer selection (the fruity sour was my fave). The rooftop patio has beautiful views, and we even grabbed some beers to take home. read more

This brewery is easily one of my favorites and after chatting with the staff, I now know why. They've won multiple awards for their beer, and after tasting it myself, it's well deserved! I ordered the peach sour, and it might be one of my favorite drinks of all time. It hit that perfect balance - not too sour, not too sweet. Incredibly refreshing and flavorful! I'll absolutely be coming back here every time I'm in the mountains. The only thing I wish was different is the food selection. There's a Thai chicken spot available, which is fine, but I'd love to see some classic brewery bites offered on-site. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit! read more

I can't speak highly enough of this place. I had close friends visiting from Maine, which has a huge craft beer scene that they're heavily entrenched in, so the bar was set very high. This place cleared the bar with ease. I would say there were 3 beers I had that have made my list of beers I would go out of my way to find again. The Sun in the Clouds IPA was delicious. I'm a big stout fan, so I rank stouts selectively, and the Summit Club Imperial Stout is fantastic. Most of all though, the Glide Path Porter may be the single best porter I've ever had, and one of the best beers I've had in general. The staff are all knowledgeable and are very helpful in finding you a beer that fits your taste, even though they don't really have a miss on the menu. And as if all this wasn't enough, the view of the mountains is breathtaking. Even if I didn't have a beer, I could easily spend an hour just sitting there taking in the view. Luckily that isn't a choice you'll be forced to make here. Can't wait until I'm able to make it back. Intestinal Impact Index Rating: 5/5 beer shoots right through me, but that hasn't stopped me yet. read more

We had really been looking forward to visiting Outer Range - we love visiting breweries especially those that brew some of our favorite beers but this was just a meh experience and I would not bother going back! It was seat yourself but many of the tables and chairs were downright dirty and clearly not being wiped down between guests! We ordered two IPA flights - they were out of any typical flight holders so just gave us loose glasses! The beer was simply not anywhere cold enough and the woman serving was downright rude, grumpy and disinterested so it was hard to figure out which beer was which! Also we were looking forward to shopping for merchandise but a lot of it was out! But the guy that checked out the tab gave my husband grief for not buying anything !! Only redeeming factor was the fact that the beer is good so we bought some to go so we can at least experience it cold and the food you could buy ( another business ) was good ! read more

Ooohh Outer Range Brewing, you're looking mighty fine indeed. When I'm heading down from a day in the mountains, I am drawn to you like a moth to a hoppy flame. "Why," you ask? "Why not," I exclaim! First, there's your covered and enclosed patio. Perfect for making the most of the Colorado sun on those chilly days. Did I mention brews with a view? Oh yeah, Outer Range Brewing has got that in the form of an upstairs patio, allowing you to really take in the views of Frisco and get up close and personal with the nearby mountains. Second, naturally, the brews. Outer Range Brewing offer up a wide variety of deliciously crafted brews to quench your thirst and make the rest of the drive to Denver just a little more bearable. Everything is crafted with care. I'm a sour girl, and I have to say, their seasonable sours are bursting with flavor. I wish I could remember the which one's I've had, but it doesn't matter - they're all excellent. I've even had a couple of the IPAs and found them just a delicious. Third, the beertenders are super friendly. They're more than will to chat with you about the beers, the brewery, or the shirt you're wearing. But for real, they're full of genuine passion for what they do. Fourth, cozy mountain vibes? They're not short on all the vibes. Throughout the whole brewery there's cozy couches, community seating, and tons of spaces to tuck yourself away and hang out for a bit. I absolutely love it. Fifth, for those of us that craving something more substantial to accompany our cold brews Outer Range offers up a tasty variety of Thai inspired bites from Bird Craft - conveniently located in their taproom. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich and the Tom Ka Ghai soup. Both are completely delicious. Bonus points for being doggo friendly (on the patio)! I love getting to love on all the pups on the patio when I'm there. Let just say, I've got a little crush on you, Outer Range Brewing. I can't wait for my next post-adventure visit. Cheers, Frisco! read more

Outer Range Brewery just became my new favorite brewery, hands down. We stopped by after a hike and were absolutely blown away by the three beers my girlfriend and I tried. Each one was unique and perfectly crafted. It's no surprise they've won so many awards, and the fact that they release 3-5 new beers a week makes me wish I lived closer, I'd be here all the time. The bartenders were not only super friendly but clearly knew their stuff, giving great recommendations and insight into the beers. The food onsite looked amazing (we didn't get a chance to try it since we were not feeling fried chicken), but it definitely added to the great vibe of the place. Can't wait to come back. read more

Been to Outer Range multiple times over the years and they never disappoint! Great beers and amazing views of the mountains from the upper deck. They lean a bit heavy on IPA's but always have enough alternate styles to keep me happy. Friendly staff, dog friendly downstairs and great overall vibe. Finally tried the Thai chicken place inside the brewery and it was excellent. My wife loved her "Ahi Tots" plate which is exactly how it sounds. Who knew they went together? Definitely give Outer Range a try when you're in the area! read more

Outer Range Brewing - Beer taste better at 9,000 feet! - Breweries Near Me - Frisco, Colorado

Nice, two-level spot with outdoor seating on both levels. They don't do traditional flights, so we tried several 5 oz pours. We both liked the Ascension coffee stout the best, and we each enjoyed a pint of that as well. After that, the Hirshgarten was our favorite, followed by the Snug oat stout and the Quiey Corners bringing up the rear. I also tasted and liked the Festbier. Beertender was friendly too. Neat place. Would definitely go back. Kind of cool there is also a coffee shop and chicken restaurant on the first level, so options for many. read more

We stop here almost every time on our way to the mountains! Awesome dog-friendly patio, tons of beer options (including gluten-free!), and a cozy coffee shop inside.

GREAT PLACE FOR A FEW BEERS AFTER A LONG DAY ON THE MOUNTAIN! This is a craft brewery with a food stall inside, thus I'm writing a separate review for each one of them. This review is about the craft brewery. The place was fairly crowded when we arrived around 6:30pm on a weekday night. We managed to find a small high table on the second floor - cozy space and great vibes! There is also a rooftop patio but it was cold and dark outside, so we didn't check it out. I was in the mood for a few lighter beers, so I tried High Peak (Pilsner), Artifacts (Grisette), and Apres All Day (Kolsch). All are of decent qualities - very crisp and refreshing. Service was great and friendly - the bar staff gave me some good suggestions based on my preferences, and we also had some small chats about the place and the beer, etc. I'll likely visit this place again for beers when I'm in the area again in the future. read more

Outer Range is the bomb! We discovered this brewery when one of our local breweries in Nashville did a collab with them and we decided to stop in at the brewery when on a road trip in Colorado. The brewery is in a great area that's just off of I-70 and surrounded by a bunch of shops. The mountains are all around you and Frisco is at ~9000 ft of elevation, so it was a super fun drive up from Denver. The brewery has lots of seating and has 2 floors with an outdoor patio as well (we didn't use this as it was raining when we came). The beer is fantastic and they make a mean IPA. We definitely grabbed beer to go and this was fuel for our trip. They also have fantastic food and their Thai fried chicken was so so good; the food alone is worth a stop. It's a great brewery overall with great food and it's now on our list of places to visit again on our next trip to Colorado! read more

Outer Range Brewery is top tier. It's hard to beat the brewery's location/view and beer. They drop new beers of Fridays and previously brewed one of my favorite beers, Hell Ya Brother. The parking lot is shared with many businesses but big. The service was quick and easy. Both floors can smell like a brewery, malts, wheat, hops etc. At first I didn't appreciate all of the smells but then it felt authentic. The upstairs includes an eclectic set of furniture, several doors that open to the balcony, and with it an awe inspiring view of the Rocky Mountains. Outer Range shares its space with Bird Craft Thai-ish Fried Chicken and Mountain Dwellers Coffee Roasters. read more

Nice spot to stop in for a beer or a coffee. Be sure to go upstairs to sit, much more comfortable and decent view from deck. Bar service only when we were there, nothing special. Both beers and coffee selections were good. read more

Stopped here with some friends on our way to Glenwood Springs - I love their beer. They have a good range (ha ha pun) and can make a delicious stout as well as an IPA. My husband and I shared a flight of four - water colors IPA, Snowfields stout, Put it Back in a Blender sour and slush IPA. The stout was our favorite - it was so smooth and the vanilla was delicious. Would have definitely gotten a four pack if they had it, but we settled with two four packs of the Slush and sour. Be prepared to wait for a table - even though this place has two stories and outdoor seating, we had to wait a few minutes to snag a table! Super popular place but not overrated, beer is that good. read more

One of my favorite breweries in CO located right off 70. Have watched this small, unassuming location turn into a two story beer mecca over the past few years. Parking is plentiful. Staff is always friendly. Beer is the best of the best. If you like dank, hoppy IPAs, you'll be in heaven. They also have delicious lagers, stouts, and sours. Prices are reasonable. The brewery now has tons of seating options. Bring your friends and dogs. read more

I had heard good things about Outer Range, but I only recently had a chance to check it out. I started with the Super Smash which is a spiced lime gose (lime, chili and habanero peppers). It was a delight to my palate with a hint of spice. I also tried the Polar Treasure, an Imperial Stout. At 15.5%, this isn't for the faint of heart. My wife and I shared a taster of it and absolutely loved it. We also tried the Supermoon Slushy (sour with raspberry, passion fruit and banana). It was good as well. The service and vibe here are great. I'll definitely visit ORB again when I'm in the area. read more

Love this place. Great beer and friendly staff. Also a great view from the upper deck.

The location is so serene and its next to the whole foods so picking up snacks was easy peasy. They also have some food available at brewery that we didn't get to try because we went just after lunch. We ordered their "In the steep" and "Rolling Hills". Both were just okay. Nothing exciting. It was good for one try and enjoy the views but not sure if ai will go there again! read more

This place was really fun! We enjoyed our time here while visiting the area for the day. I tried the sippin' and it was pretty good! Wasn't the best beer ever, but it was good! The service was also really great and friendly. They have a lot of outdoor seating, but not as much inside. It was raining pretty hard, so people were having a tough time finding places to sit. We loved that they had a coffee shop and food right in there as well. It is definitely worth a visit! read more

Outer Range Brewing was the latest in the series of trying out Colorado breweries I haven't been to before! With Outer Range I had two of their very tasty pilsners. The Kicker was the first pilsner that I had. It wasn't bad. It had a bitter, grassy flavor to it. It was by no means bad but it wasn't the one that really won me over. The one that did win me over in a big way was their High Peak Pilsner! Oh so very good with it's light breadiness and extremely clean, crisp flavor features makes this beer easily drinkable and bery easy to get more than one! read more

We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

We went here two days in a row while on vacation. Our first visit was ok. I bought a coffee and a t-shirt... next day I came back in to exchange my shirt for a different size....i was ordering a coffee and while ordering I asked the girl about exchanging my t-shirt and she abruptly told me "I don't deal with that, you'll need to go over there..." and pointed to the bar. When I approached a man who appeared to be an employee I asked "hi, do you work here?" And he said "sometimes..." They didn't have the size I wanted in the design I wanted... and he told me he couldn't give me a refund even tho I had a receipt. It's just painfully obvious this place breeds and promotes rude-ass entitled prIcks... especially the women working at the coffee bar. I don't think anyone I encountered bothered to say "you're welcome", or "thank you", or "please" or "hello" or "how are you today?" Or "have a great day". Just full of your typical rude ass entitled 20 something's and 30 something wanna-be's. I ordered a large latte and asked for the milk to be steamed "extra-hot" and of course... I tasted it and it was luke warm.... Can't even make a simple coffee order correctly.... I was really disappointed with the way I was treated here. read more

THE ONLY THING I CAN ADD to the other excellent reviews is CAVEAT: this large brewery with tons of seating doesn't have TVs to view sports. I mean the Broncos and Rockies don't suck that much. PROTIP: DUI Free: it's a 15 second walk from the back deck to the Frisco Transit Station. The county shuttles leave at 1/2 past the hour until midnight. (See pic) read more
