Who would've thought a town in good ol’ Wyoming would be taking inspiration from the ski hills of France? Well, that's exactly what we've done with one of our favorite phrases, Après-ski, which literally means “after ski” or “after skiing.” The term encompasses the social activities and entertainment following a day on the mountain, something that the 5150' is well known for.
As tribute, we decided to welcome the shred season by sharing six après-ski locations to check out in Casper:
1. Hogadon Basin Lodge
We can’t imagine a more perfect way to end a day on the slopes than après in the on-mountain lodge. Once your ski fatigue starts to set in, Slalomen Sam's Bar - located in Hogadon Ski Lodge - is one of the most convenient spots to sip on local beer, soak in panoramic views of Casper and cheers to another great day on the mountain.
2. Mountain Hops Brewhouse
After dusting the fresh pow off your boots, Mountain Hops beckons you for post-shred beers in town. Plus, you can pick from their two locations (Beverly and downtown).
3. J’s Pub & Grill
Who said foodies couldn’t après? After a long day of playing outdoors, a local draft beer paired with a juicy, flavor-packed masterpiece of a burger at J’s Pub is a delicious way to cap off your day on the slopes.
4. Backwards Distilling Company
With an inviting tasting room, Backwards is a great place to meet friends after a day on the ski hill. Cozy up with their winter cocktail menu before heading to a local restaurant for dinner.
5. Black Tooth Brewery
With ample space and tasty beers, Black Tooth is a great destination to sip on Wyoming-made draft beers. Plus, you can snack on grub from one of the rotating, local food trucks parked outside. Why choose between outdoor adventure and city hangs when you can have both right here in the 5150'?
6. Gruner Brothers
With a sweeping patio and large windows boasting panoramic views of the city, we can’t imagine a better place to après with a delicious craft beer than Gruner Brothers Brewing. Bask in the Wyoming sun while sipping on beer that feels specialty made for winter, including the Powder River Vanilla Porter and Hell's Hef Acre Hefeweizen. While you're there, try one of their specialty burgers, too.
