About Big Trout Brewing Company
Big Trout Brewing Company is a brewpub at Cooper Creek Square in downtown Winter Park. Its website says it is a family-owned brewpub that opened in 2020. The taproom sits on the ground level of the parking garage, next to the transit center.
The brewhouse is the distinctive part. Big Trout says its high efficiency brewing system cuts water waste by 20 to 30 percent and gets roughly 98 percent extraction from the grain. The site ties that to conserving water that feeds the Colorado River headwaters.
The beer list covers IPAs, pale ales, lagers, ambers, a Kölsh, browns, porters and stouts. The website lists Colorado State Fair medals for beers including #9 Amber Lager and Alpine Lake IPA.
A kitchen serves pizzas, wings, sandwiches and salads. The site says all ages are welcome at the brewery restaurant. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Winter Park on this site.
