Broken Compass Brewing

Broken Compass is a fun spot to check out if you are in the Breckenridge area. They got tasty beers, friendly staff, and lots of dogs!

This is the best spot in Breck to grab a beer. Not only is the beer phenomenal, but the staff is kind and the vibes are perfect. Bonus for being dog friendly. Drink beer pet dogs is the perfect mantra for this place.

Awesome brewery! We stopped here after a great hike nearby to grab some beers and relax with our pup. Super dog friendly, excellent beers for every palate, and a super cool ambience. Coconut Porter is NOT to be missed, and all the IPAs we sampled were great. We definitely plan to be back the next time we pass through!

Dog friendly with great beer. We have tried a few different brews and enjoyed them all. The staff is very friendly and this is a great place for a relaxing visit. Thank you for creating a great brewery for us to enjoy when we visit Breckinridge.

You have to try the coconut porter. It’s the best porter I’ve ever had. I come back here every time I go to Breck.

Best brewery in town! The coconut porter, colorad bro and fruit ninja are my fav! Family, pet friendly environment! We can't go to Breckenridge without stopping here!

Amazing beers and a great place to relax after a long day. The coconut porter is always a must.

Always the best beer, vibe, employees, and dogs for over a decade now. Annual anniversary party not to be missed. If you're visiting for skiing, hiking, biking, whatever, put BCB on your list....either OG location off Airport road or downtown Main St. tap room.

I was on a jog when I passed by and got curious. I returned with the family after my jog and had a tasting flight. I'm an IPA person, so the It All For Nanukie West Coast was my favorite. The coconut porter was nice and balanced. I enjoyed the ginger pale ale, which was more flavorful than most pale ales. The Zamba Juice hazy was also decent. The chili pepper pale ale was fun and interesting. I probably won't be back anytime soon because I don't live around here, but I enjoyed stumbling upon this gem by happenstance. I appreciate the casual atmosphere and outdoor and picnic style seating where my kids could color and finish an online class while my husband and I enjoyed our beers.

Broken Compass was a cool stop on our way back to Denver. We found a stop across from the bar and enjoyed a few beers - for me, the sours always hit the spot. These guys were massively busy but kept the lines moving and smiles on faces. We snuck out with a shirt and a promise to return.

Beer flights are awesome and the service is great. The bourbon stout is just fantastic and not as heavy as you might expect the chili is also fantastic

I haven't been here in many years, but this is one of those places I will specifically drive from Denver to, because of the most amazing Coconut Porter that I have tried as of yet! If memory serves me correctly, last visit, one of the workers explained they select the coconut shavings and roast them in-house, just for this beer. The summer atmosphere; I went on a Thursday at noon. Not super busy, but amazing music, perfect beer and a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere! Plenty of gifts to buy, from tee shirts, insulated cups, mugs and stickers. My travel was just for a motorcycle day-ride, and I brought home a growler of the Coconut Porter I love. I will definitely be planning a trip back to stock up. One of the local guys ordered a pizza and had it delivered and it smelled amazing! Next time, I'll do a review on the pizza when I order one! Get up here, check it out and support an amazing brewery! Sláinte!

This people and dog friendly establishment has the best views in Breck not to mention some solid beer. Easy parking outside. Casual atmosphere and friendly employees. We love coming here after a ski day. The owner is usually chatting with locals. They have one of my favorite coconut porters. However, they make all sorts of brews to satisfy all palettes. Don't miss this local fav.

Update: officially my favorite brewery in the state. Broken compass just keeps getting better. Dogs welcomed: check super friendly service: check gluten free: check outdoor patio: check comfy, great views, great music. I chose the pina colada seltzer and it was so refreshing. Hubs got the chili pepper beer and loved it too.

We stopped here for a beer after a long hike. "I did it for the Nanoukie" - one of the best IPAs I've had. The location north of Breckenridge is really cool. Open air, indoor seating and plenty of patio space. Friendly crowd. Some nice swag for purchase.

Great beer and friendly clientele outside of the Main Street of Breck, so not so busy as other places

Our all time favorite spot - Breckenridge and beyond. This brewery has the greatest vibe. Local but still caters to out of towners. Every bartender is courteous as well as knowledgeable and makes you really feel at home. The beers are also incredible - they have a few staples that are on the menu consistently, but we never miss an opportunity to try their new beers. We have never been disappointed. They have a great crowd every week for trivia that is fun and exciting. We have even booked a private party here the night before our wedding and our guests had a blast and raves about beers / bartenders. Stop on your way in or out of town or just for a brew ski for apres - any time you stop you will not be disappointed!

Solid stout. Cool set up with outdoor seating with live music. Coconut Stout was solid.

Awesome spot! I love how this location is a little bit out of the main area of downtown Breck. Dog friendly and awesome beers. The beertenders were awesome also, looking forward to going back.

The coconut porter is some of the best I have ever had. Definitely try it, even if your not a dark beer fan. The flight also had Czech Pilsner, Passionfruit Sour, Irish Red, Mango Passionfruit Sour, and Chili Pepper Pale Ale. Highlights were Coconut Porter and the Chili Pepper Ale. Very friendly staff! Added bonus - dogs are welcome!

I gotta say, I am not a fan of "Breck". It reminds of a fake, plastic "town" in a Florida theme park. Artificial and gross. This brewery though, on the outskirts? May have been one the best breweries I've ever been to. First the bartender: Jake*. He was amazing! Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. A brewtender will almost always have one of those traits. Maybe 2 if you're lucky. But 3?! Unheard of. An example that illustrates what I'm talking about: He was serving at least a dozen beer drinkers, and looked laid back and chill the whole time! I asked him what hops were in "Zamba Juice" and he looked at me with a friendly but confused look. He was like "is that a trick, Zamba!" I am an avid homebrewer and I seek out weird hops. I often buy experimental hops that have not even been named yet! However, I had never heard of Zamba. The Hazy IPA they made with it here was quite good! As soon as it's available from my supplier, I'm in for a pound! We also split a sampler of 4 beers. I was impressed that their sampler had slots for 6 beers. I have 6 taps at my house for homeberew and...it seems like every single taster tray on Amazon/at-homebrew-shops only has 4 slots? I asked him where they got it, and he wasn't sure. But he told me to bring him some homebrew next time and I had to sadly tell him that I live in Alaska and that wasn't likely : ( There were also some very friendly dogs here! The kind where the owner doesn't even have to say that red-flag statement "he's friendly!"...because...he's actually friendly, and he speaks for himself! If I ever end up in 'Breck again, Jake is getting some homebrew! *If you know anything about me you know that I'm horrible with names (and increasingly, even faces, ugh). I'm also often skeptical of reviews that name-drop constantly because they seem a little fakey, like they know everyone. But, I made it a point to ask Jake's name, and then make a note in my phone, it reads "Jake, bartender at compass".

Stopped in for an excellent flight this past week. Started with a delicious Kolsch, irish red, a few blonde ales, a flavorful porter and imperial IPA. Perfect for sharing. A cool spot just off of main street with a dog friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Being in the beer state of America, I'm not surprised this place rocked. We came for a quick drink to celebrate the 4th and was welcomed to live music and lots of dogs; there's no better combo! The bar was pretty packed but we got our drinks in a timely and friendly fashion. I heard over and over again the bartender thanking patrons for coming and celebrating with them. I got their ginger pale ale and LOVED IT! They also came in the cutest glasses. After playing a few rounds of corn hole, we headed out, and before I could carry my glass in an employee took it for me! 5/5 for this place!

Excellent beer, great bartender and friendly folks all around. And who knows, you may get to pet a dog.

What a great little brewery, cozy, beautiful view out the garage glass door. Tried 3 different beers. All three were great! The service was with a smile and great recommendations. I will buy their beer from all over the country.

Love this place. The beer is very good but what makes me want to keep coming back is the people. John and Daniel have the absolutely best personalities for their job. Cheers to them- great job.

I loved hanging out at Broken Compass Brewing. I had so much fun trying the beers, being outside at the picnic tables, and chatting with our server. I haven't been out to restaurants, breweries, or bars because of COVID, and Broken Compass Brewing is the first spot I've hung out at since March. I chose it because I needed a beer after hibernating, but also because of the outdoor seating and option to order delivery from local pizza places. The outdoor tables had plenty of space between them, the server was wearing a mask and gloves, and there were arrows taped on the floor to direct people inside. It felt really safe, and I appreciate that. Now onto the beer - wooooooowza! I decided to go with a flight to get a taste of all the different types of beer Broken Compass has to offer. One of my favorites was the Ginger Pale Ale - easy to drink, crisp, just the right amount of ginger so that the beer wasn't overpowered. I'm also not usually a big dark beer fan, but the Coconut Porter may have converted me. It was so smooth and had a slight sweet finish from the coconut (that coconut oooeeee, let me tell you). My friend chose a flight with IPAs, and really loved it too, so if you're a big IPA fan, you should give it a go. It was also great that we were able to order pizza delivery. The greasy food paired with a flight of beers, was just what I needed. I'm so glad I was able to enjoy time with a friend while sipping some amazing brews and taking a pause from the craziness. Definitely check out Broken Compass Brewing...do it for the Ginger Pale Ale.

I've been here a few times now. It's the perfect place for a little après after Breck, especially if you park in the airport lot. We were there when they had a socially distanced band playing out of their pickups (parked next to each other) in the back with outdoor seating only. Another couple of times when there was limited indoor seating. The views from the back aren't great with Airport Rd right there, but at least you're not overlooking traffic. The beers that I've tried there have all been exceptional. I think my favorite is the Ginger Pale Ale. I've seen a food kiosk out front, but haven't eaten from it, an I'm not sure they are part of BCB though. They have a good swag selection from koozies to bike jerseys and even mittens! I'd like to say I'm a regular, but they don't know me yet, but they will. Happily recommend Broken Compass as one of the solidest breweries I've been to.

Drink Beer, Pet Dogs? Broken Compass already had me with their slogan. The "OG" taproom at Broken Compass is absolutely amazing. I've been in here twice now. Once during the "original" part of the pandemic and once last week. Now that their seating is back to normal, it's even better! First of all, I have not had a single bad beer here. Their coconut porter is simply wonderful and their WAPP (sour) and Zamba Juice (hazy IPA) are fantastic. You can get crowlers here or fill your growler to go as well. When I found out that they also have trivia on Tuesdays, I was all in. A lot of locals come in to play, but we were treated just like we were regulars. The trivia host was great and there were lots of fun but challenging questions. She even gave us a free beer when my wife knew the answer to a random question. ... and last, but certainly not least, there are DOGS. Yes, you can really pet dogs while you're here! It's super dog friendly and there lots of good people. You really can't go wrong!

Basically a tasting room. Casual. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fun vibe. Lots of dogs! Bench seating at front table was very uncomfortable especially for the vertically challenged. Maybe some cushions would cozy it up. Coconut stout was the group favorite. Try it over ice cream! Trust me. It's awesome. No v-neck tee shirts. That's a bummer especially since their dog theme is really clever. Go see for yourself.

We've been coming here for years but Sunday may have been the last. the bar tender was over the top rude to everyone thinking he was cool or something. Told people he wasn't going to serve them, to F off, asked a lesbian couple about lesbian porn, told me to order and then get out, so I paid out the tab with tips on the POS starting at 30%! Not for that A hole. The left leaning politics and attitude I have endured for a good pint for years, but this was it. There are plenty of other great beers to be had without being cussed at and embarrassed.

Good beer and variety plus dog friendly inside! It's in a strip of places so it doesn't stick out but we really enjoyed our flight!

Can I give ten stars to them? I came here with my husband, and the Benjamin that attend us is exceptional. He is really good with people. Just come and get some excellent and testable beers.

Best brewery in summit county plus amazing bartenders and great t-shirts. And lots of dogs!

Good beer, popular spot! I had heard great things about the beer here and turns out those things were right! The beer here is top-notch, though I do wish they had a coffee beer when I was there. However, the nitro chocolate oatmeal stout was a tasty alternative. This place gets verrry busy though. We were able to get a seat outside, but just barely. Service was mostly super friendly and quick which I appreciated. I'd go back!

Me and my wife had our wedding reception here and found it to be the best choice we could've ever made. Employees were great while we had questions of renting the tap room while we were all the way in Dallas TX. During our reception we were greeted and taken care of as if we were family and the room was kept to the most enjoyable night of our life!! The beer recommendations and perfect music of choice was just the cherries on top. Thank you so much!

Came here with a group of 18 guys as part of a bachelor party. We grabbed drinks and headed outside. They are dog friendly and have lots of your basic bar/lawn games. Everyone got different beers, which was nice because they have quite a variety. Most people really raved about the coconut porter, which was dark, slightly sweet yet also bitter like a dark chocolate. They have a bunch of t-shirts for sale and there is definitely a mountain/Colorado vibe. They even have a pay it forward wall where you can buy a beer or part of a tab for someone in the future and set whatever qualifications you want around redemption. Cool place, cool staff, good beer.

I have waited one year to come back here. They have great service, and even better beer. They have unexpected beers that are well worth trying in a flight. It's just a bit out of town, but we'll worth the drive.

Nice little brewery. Friendly service. We ordered one of everything. Not very big inside but nice. Would definitely come back.

After checking out the Breckenridge distillery, I was happy to see that this brewery was just a short walk away. I had never been and knew nothing about it. When we arrived there were a TON of people inside and outside, and it turns out that there was a going away party for one of the employees. I was worried we would not get great service, but I was wrong. They welcomed us to the party and atmosphere with open arms. I was also happy to discovered that their beer was amazing! Both my boyfriend and I (who both like very different styles of beer) were able to find something we loved. Everyone in the place seemed to be having fun. Some were parties of 1 or 2, some were families with kids, there were lots of friendly dogs... but everyone was laughing and smiling. Clearly, they serve a bit of happiness in their drinks.

Cannot say anything negative about this brewery. I'm a huge fan of their mango passion fruit sour that I brought a growler back to Chicago and the boy bought a tshirt. I love that you can bring your dog indoors (leashed so your dog doesn't start marking everywhere or pooping without you knowing). Courtney and Dan are so friendly (maybe it's because they're both from the Chicagoland area haha). They have a nice overflow lot across the street in case you can't find parking. They don't serve food but you can bring your own in. They have a new location on Main Street which is super convenient if you're in the area. It'll go through some remodeling soon but the beer will still be awesome!

Always a great Beer selection. Great vibe and locals hangout. I always try to get here, when in town. A little off the beaten path, but that's a good thing, also!

Great little brewery right next to Breck! Perfect for your après ski needs. I haven't tried all their brews but the ones I've had have been delicious. Most recently I tried the W.A.P.P., a Western Agriculture Palisade Peach sour. Honestly the name of the beer itself had me ready to try it, hahaha! Love the creativity. This sour isn't too tart, it was just right to me! Big fan. The coconut porter is also a delicious treat! 10/10 recommend this brewery!

Great taproom. Friendly, funky. Beer choices for all tastes large outdoor seating. Dog friendly.

Must visit when in Breck if you are a beer fan. Great little shop with a cozy feel. Staff was great, good beers, and you can bring in your own food and snacks. Pets and kids allowed as well.

This place was so much fun. The beers were good and the locals were open and friendly. We brought our dog inside the bar and he loved seeing all sorts of people and other dogs

Meh. Beer was ok. Tried the 8 flight. Super obnoxiously loud metal music. Won't be back.

Broken compass offers great craft beer and is a nice little spot in Breckenridge. It's a bit off the beaten path but a popular spot. They have a back patio (not sure if it's open in the winter) and is a smaller indoor space. The beers are great and they have a wide array of options (IPAs, Sours, Stouts etc.), and you can build your own flight if you want to try various options. Staff is friendly and knowledgable :)

My first time here, and what a gem! This place was just what I needed after a long day skiing. I had dropped my puppy off at the daycare just up the street and noticed the large brewery sign. With all the pizza rolls in my fridge I really wanted something small for the drive home but also a space that was dog friendly. Sure enough, this place allowed dogs in the taproom... But not your ski boots. Inside it was really well adapted to covid with tables 6 feet apart and wood blocks indicating clean/dirty. Beers are ordered at the bar and it looked like we could order additional food outside. The beers were also great. I tried the Westy, Citra and the New Zealand one. The Westy was perfectly hoppy and citrusy. The Citra was similar but maybe a smidge lighter on hops. And the New Zealand one would make a great intro to IPAs for anyone curious, since it's a super light and hazy taste.

We had our family reunion in Breck this week. Hard to know what to do to entertain several generations, so we thought "Trivia"! And "Beer"! What a concept. Throw in adorable dogs and a wonderful host (Rowdy Ali), and we couldn't have asked for a better night of family fun. Thank you so much for the great questions and music, Rowdy Ali!

Jake & Ross were attentive and enthusiastic. Great beer & nice atmosphere Would return.

This was my second visit and wow did they switch things up! It's awesome! They moved the bar and now it's a great open atmosphere. The bartender that day was Benji. He's awesome. Full of energy and no one in this busy bar had to wait for a drink. I'm not a beer drinker but Benji made some suggestions and gave me testers for a bunch. I appreciate that becuase I'd had to order a full glass and not like it. There was a trivia game going that day. That was fun to participate in! Felt kind of... well ... uninformed for round 1. We faired much better in round lol All in all a great day to end the day, or start the day... or the middle of the day!

"Drink beer. Pet dogs." - I vibe with this place. Try the Mango Sour and the Strawberry Blonde - 10/10.

This was our first stop when we arrived to Breckenridge. We love this place. Jake the bartender made us feel like locals, gave us some tips on where to ski, and gave us a few good laughs. All of the guests appeared to be locals and were great conversation. The beer was amazing! We tried a large variety and took some cans to go. They were all delicious. We could have stayed longer but needed to get to our campsite. We hope to be back before we leave the area. Thanks for making my first day of retirement extra special.

Great place for families! Cute place, great music, and dog friendly too, this brewery is a great hangout for all ages. Tonight was trivia night, and while we participated in a few rounds, we played a bit of Monopoly, while my husband enjoyed a couple of pints. He ordered: -Spicy pepper ale...4 stars. First spicy beer ever but really good, and light. -Coconut porter...4 stars. Dark, rich, and refreshing, with a hearty dose of coconut. Winner of the two. The price was only $5, and the atmosphere was wonderful and well deserving of 5 stars. On a side note, you are welcome to bring food from elsewhere. We knew this and picked up some Vietnamese food along the way https://bit.ly/2Gxee5u . It was the worst food we've had in Colorado, but even that setback didn't take away from fully enjoying our time here. Highly recommended!

I tried the Westy G IPA and it was delicious! It was so nice to see a local brewery with super friendly staff and great beers.

Friendly service, great patio. There were actual dogs wandering around to pet while we enjoyed our beers
