## About

Big Slide Brewery & Public House opened in June of 2016 at 5686 Cascade Road, the main road into Lake Placid from the south. This building is a just over a mile from downtown Lake Placid,near several popular and busy sites such as the Lake Placid Horse Show Grounds, the Olympic Torch, the Ski Jump Complex, Craig Wood Golf Course, the ADK Loj, and the Bobsled Track. All of these venues are busy and people travel right by us on their way to and from these attractions as well as into and out of Lake Placid. 

We have installed a hybrid 3.5/5 barrel brew-house, right in the center of our dynamic concrete-topped bar, a comfortable dining room, and a semi-open kitchen. While we will open with beers from our sister brewery, The Lake Placid Pub & Brewery, by the end of June will be have transitioned to 10 Big Slide house beers. We will be featuring a wide variety of styles from lighter colored beers, Pale Ales, IPAs, Porters, Stouts, and Belgian beers. In addition, we have a separate fermentation room which we call The Funk Room, designed specifically for sour and wild-fermented beers such as Berliner weisse, Gose, and lambic beers. In the middle of the bar, you will see a wall of wooden barrels which will house beer aging inside of them, soaking up the flavors of the liquors which originally lived inside, like bourbon, whiskey, and red wine. Big Slide will push the envelope of beer styles.

Great beer, great food, and great service in a dynamite atmosphere
