"Everyone knows Idaho Springs for the Tommyknocker Brewery and Beau Jo’s Pizza. But in 2015, the hungry ski gear-donning hoards got another spot in Idaho Springs to stop: Westbound & Down. Producing award-winning brews like the Westbound Double IPA and the Double Barrel Louie, they have a menu of solid bar favorites with a twist, like their classic bison burger or the fried green tomato BLT, plus vegan options like the BBQ jackfruit sandwich or falafel. Westbound and Down was also heavily awarded at this year’s Great American Beer Festival." - Rebecca Treon
