Après Ski Beers: Heady Topper

An All About Après top choice for skiing and riding's best après ski beers. If you have heard of Heady Topper, you know that coming upon a can of one, if you are not from Northern Vermont, is like finding your cell phone in the snow after you've dropped it off a lift. Hell, even if you are from the Northeast Kingdom, it's pretty damn tough to get your hands on this iconic beer. Stories of people waiting in epic lines or chasing down the Alchemist delivery truck are stuff of legend and something that I have personally been a...

Stein's Bloody Mary Makes for a Happy Thanksgiving

There is no doubt the bloody mary is the ultimate hangover eraser. There is a reason why it's so big in the ski and snowboard community. When you hit it a little too hard at apres ski the day before, a good Bloody Mary will have you back on the mountain skiing or snowboarding in no time.

What, I really liked the most was how well the beer worked with the bbq wings and beer can chicken nachos that I...

Après Ski Beers (Kinda): Upslope Pumpkin Ale

After a string of unseasonably warm weather last week with temperatures soaring into the 80's, Fall has finally arrived here in New Jersey. When it is that warm, it is hard to even think about drinking fall beers. I mean, let's face it, August like heat deserves August like beers. However, now that the weather has cooled down considerably and Halloween is only a week away, I can finally get in the mood to drink something a little more...pumpkin flavored. Last night I cracked open a can (or two) of Upslope Brewing Company's Pumpkin Ale. I know that many people...

Après Ski Drinks: "Fire on the Mountain"

All About Après at The Stowe Mountain Lodge Last winter I had the opportunity to visit the Stowe Mountain Lodge at Stowe Mountain in Vermont. This beautiful, modern but rustic lodge is the first lodging of any kind on Stowe Mountain and provides anyone who stays there with an amazing, top-of-the-line experience. Located on the Spruce Peak side of the mountain it is a quick gondola right to and from Mount Mansfield. This is perfect for getting out for first tracks and an ideal way to get back to the lodge for après ski. The Hourglass Lounge is the après ski location at...
