Get Your Own DAM Beer
Continuing on the brew theme, my family and I were shopping the outlets in Silverthorne yesterday (nothing like waiting til the last minute to buy school clothes), and ate lunch at the Dillon Dam Brewery. I love this place.
Free Wi-Fi, kids’ menu, pool tables and video games are much appreciated. It’s a working brewery, so there’s a little self-guided tour you can take past the vats and “mill room” and such (you can’t miss the scent of hops, yeast and barley). The American menu includes burgers, sandwiches (”sammies”), salads, pastas, ribs, fish ‘n’ chips and more.
I had the yummy Tuscan Wrap (fresh grilled chicken, balsamic-roasted eggplant, tomatoes, red onions, red peppers, cilantro pesto and jack cheese all tossed together and wrapped in a red chile tortilla; dipped in Sundried Tomato Vinaigrette) and a chile-infused beer (it must be a seasonal brew; I don’t see it on the online menu).
The Dam Brewery is a cool place to stop with the kids for a break from shopping or if you’re passing through to or from the ski slopes along I-70.
On Little Dam Street across from Christy Sports in Dillon. Get directions here.
