- Market Outlook / Competition
- This is the only business like it in Silverthorne and Summit County with a 30-tap self-pour model. Voted best new business in 2024, both tourists and locals love the business model and experience. Ranked top 5 for best beers on tap two years in a row. Large TVs offer ideal sports viewing, while the space is ideal for wedding parties, group gatherings, holiday parties, etc. Local competition includes breweries and restaurants serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. New owners could potentially add a small kitchen to add in-house food.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Huge upward growth opportunities as Silverthorne is now the largest town in Summit County, and growing rapidly as housing construction booms only a couple blocks away. Plans of creating a Blue River play wave directly behind the taproom would drastically enhance traffic to the location as well. The Outlets at Silverthorne just contracted with the Ice Castles, a project being built only 1/8 mile from the taproom location. This is the closest bar/taproom to the entire Wildernest neighborhood as well, a high-density of year-round residence.
