Try a Family Takeout Meal After Your Ski Day From Steep Brewery

Although Pug Ryan's Brewery is no longer open, Summit County is home to a number of great breweries, including one right here in Keystone Resort! 

After a thrilling day carving down the legendary slopes of Keystone Ski Resort, there is one thing every ski family has in common: a massive appetite. But after peeling off layers of ski gear and headwear, the last thing you want to do is wait in a busy restaurant line with tired kids.

Fortunately, you can bring the ultimate aprés-ski feast straight to your cozy Keystone lodging! If you are looking for the best Keystone restaurants and dining that offer fast, flavorful, and family-friendly comfort food, look no further than Steep Brewing & Coffee Co. at their River Run Village location.

Here is why a family takeout meal from Steep is the perfect way to wrap up your ski day, plus some top menu recommendations to please every member of your crew.

The Ultimate Slope-to-Lodging Convenience in River Run Village

Positioned perfectly in River Run Village, Steep Brewing & Coffee Co. is just steps from the River Run Gondola and the primary skier walk-ways. You can easily put in an online order right as you are taking your last run of the day, swing by to grab your piping-hot meal, and head back to your condo or townhome in minutes. No reservation stresses, no crowded dining rooms—just high-quality mountain eats on your own schedule.

Feast Like a Local: What to Order for the Family

Steep is famous for serving up hearty, hand-crafted comfort food that hit the spot after a full day in the cold. When you’re ordering for a hungry family, here are the absolute must-haves:

  • Signature Flatbread Pizzas: These are the crowd-pleasers. From the classic Three-Cheese and Pepperoni for the kids to creative specialty options loaded with premium toppings for the adults, Steep's flatbreads are baked to perfection and easy to share.

  • The Giant Soft Pretzel: You cannot do aprés-ski without a giant, warm, salted pretzel served with house-made beer cheese. It is the perfect shareable appetizer to keep everyone happy while you unbox the rest of the meal.

  • Hearty Sandwiches & Paninis: Need something seriously filling? Try the Hot Italian, Turkey Pesto, or the Spicy Caprese panini. Packed with flavor and served warm, they are the definition of mountain comfort food.

  • Kid-Friendly Classics: If you have pickier eaters in the group, the menu features simple, delicious options that kids love, including classic grilled cheese and easy shareables.

Don’t Forget the Craft Brews (and Beverages) for the Adults!

One of the biggest perks of choosing Steep Brewing & Coffee Co. for your takeout is their exceptional, locally brewed craft beer. While grabbing your food, the adults can add a 4-pack or a growler of Steep’s own locally brewed beers to the order. From hop-forward IPAs to rich, dark stouts and easy-drinking lagers, it is the perfect way to bring the Keystone brewery experience right to your living room. They also offer a fantastic selection of warm drinks, specialty coffees, and canned beverages to complete the meal.

Why Takeout from Steep Wins Your Ski Vacation

Taking a family ski trip is all about making memories, but sometimes the best memories are made gathered around the fireplace in your ski rental, laughing about the day's best runs while sharing a table full of incredible local food. By ordering takeout from Steep, you get:

  • Quick turnaround times so hungry kids don't have to wait.

  • A diverse menu that satisfies both foodies and picky eaters.

  • The ease of staying in your comfy clothes after a long day on the mountain.
