Beer & Spirits Made in Mammoth

Mammoth Brewing Co.

Since 1995, Mammoth Brewing Company has been brewing beer at altitude in Mammoth Lakes. The brewery and beer garden on the corner of Main Street & Minaret Road is a favorite spot for locals and visitors to rest after a day on the trails or the slopes. Grab a flight or a pint with food from The Eatery (serving lunch and dinner inside the brewery). And be sure to check out the retail section. Growlers, bottles and Mammoth bear cans make great gifts or souvenirs. 

Distant Brewing

Distant Brewing is the newest brewery on the scene in Mammoth Lakes. With rotating taps aplenty, you’ll likely find new beers to try every time you visit. Plus, Distant Brewing offers multiple sizes of to-go options so you can take a bit of Mammoth Lakes home with you.

Shelter Distilling

Located in the Village at Mammoth, Shelter Distilling creates innovative, progressive spirits at 8,000 feet. Choose from a menu of craft cocktails, wine and beer (all brewed/distilled in-house) plus small plates. It’s the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink if you have dinner plans in The Village at Mammoth or to unwind after a day of adventure.

Devil’s Creek Distillery

The newest addition to the Mammoth Lakes spirit scene Devils Creek Distillery is family-owned/operated and offers barrel-aged spirits, handcrafted on site from start to finish. Head off the beaten path to the tasting room located on Meridian Blvd (near the Hwy 203 junction) to sample bourbon whiskey aged the old-fashioned way, as well as rum that’s aged and finished in California wine barrels.
