A very refreshing treat after walking Main Street

What can you say about a refreshing root beer float, made with an assortment of root beer options on tap. It was tasty and refreshing. The Store is seriously all about anything Root Beer. Mix and match assorted root beers to go.

Family stop

The rootbeer flights were great! You can taste 5 of the rootbeers on tap, it was only $5. Some of us then got rootbeer floats with our favorite. The hotel is connected and you can go in and look around.

Great in theory

I was a little disappointed with our experience at Root Beer Revelry. I've dragged the kids to hundreds of breweries where I've gotten to have flights and fun and they've had to sit there with a sad soda so I was very excited for them...More

Fun family tasting!

The kids loved trying a flight of 5 root beers on tap! Then they chose their favorite for a root beer float! A fun thing to do with the kids after a full day of skiing.
