Mammoth Brewing Company

Mammoth Lakes


You be the judge whether beer is brewed best at high altitude. Boasting the highest West Coast brewery, at 8000ft, Mammoth Brewing Company offers more than a dozen brews on tap (flights around $9) – including special seasonal varieties not found elsewhere. Tasty bar food available (flatbreads, burgers and mac 'n' cheese).

You can pick up a selection of craft beers like Epic IPA, Golden Trout and Double Nut Brown to go.
