    There's a Cheeky Monk up there, which is a decent (but overpriced) Belgian beer bar with decent food. If you're skiing, the lodge on top of the winter park side actually has a pretty sweet bar.

    For food you can't beat Hernando's Pizza Pub, but it's tricky to get a table after the lifts close (it's worth the wait). Decent beer list too.

    For bottles, definitely stock up in Denver on the way to WP.

    The Library Brewery is good downtown. If Moffat Station still nrews, I'd recommend passing...

    Apparently still open; how I don't know. Avoid.

    It closed and reopened, but agree on passing. Hideaway Park brewing though is awesome. Well worth hitting up.

    I was just up in Winter Park this past weekend and while I really enjoy the Library they were out of 8 of their 12 beers. They said it was because of the busy season, so you shouldn't have a problem in March. On another point though I did bring home a growler of their Snowy Peaks IPA which I believe is pretty solid.

    Hit Hideaway Park today after being on the slopes. I concur with Ben that they are good. Their Cirque Stout (oak aged vanilla imperial stout) is quite delicious as is their BruBrew IPA. Whole lineup is solid.
