Highside Brewing - Frisco (Craft Beer & Brewery in Frisco CO)

Highside Brewing in Frisco, Colorado, is a three‑location outfit that treats brewing like an extreme sport. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with the scent of hops that have clearly been given a double‑shot of bravery, and the taps pour drinks that taste like they were conceived on a mountain summit rather than a sterile lab. Their hazy IPA is the star of the show—thick, juicy, and unapologetically aromatic—while the cleaner, non‑hazy IPA provides a crisp counterpoint for anyone who prefers a more restrained ride.

The bar isn’t just about booze; it’s a playground. A row of pinball machines glows in the back room, inviting patrons to prove that they can handle more than just a pint. Tuesdays become a covert ski‑waxing clinic, where locals swap tips while sipping the latest experimental batch, and dogs are treated like VIPs (the staff actually remembers their names). Pair any of the bold brews with the smoky BBQ on offer, and you’ve got a sunset ritual that feels less like a meal and more like a triumph.

All the while, the service remains friendly and unpretentious, letting the beer do the talking while the camaraderie flows as freely as the taps.
