Description

This is our unfiltered Hefeweizen style Wheat Ale, designed for outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen who want a refreshing brew after a fun day of making the most of Aspen’s amazing landscape. Whether its mountain biking, hiking, fishing, running, or just going for a stroll, Smuggler Wheat is what you need to reenergize after a day in the outdoors. The low hop and therefore low bitterness of this beer means it is truly a thirst quencher that also provides much-needed nutrients after an active day. Thankfully for all you outdoorsy people out there, the beginnings of both the Hunter Creek Trail and Smuggler Mountain Road are located really, really close to the brewery. These trails offer every level of difficulty from the casual nature walk to the clinically insane climb.

Smuggler Wheat is named after the nearby mountain and its historic silver mine, Smuggler Mountain and Smuggler Mine. It was from Smuggler Mine that North America’s largest silver nugget was unearthed. Before Aspen was known as a ski and/or vacation town, it was a thriving mining town, and we at Aspen Brewery don’t want people to forget the city’s rich and dynamic history. So, celebrate the days of old, and raise a pint of Smuggler Wheat!
