Not many breweries can claim to have a mountain-bike park on their property, but this one can.

Outdoor adventure is really the focus of RMOC, a company that provides everything from guided rafting and kayak excursions, water safety classes and mountain biking trips in the summer to snow gear rental, ice-climbing expeditions and avalanche education courses in the winter.

But the area was really transformed when a neighbor down the road had a large pile of unwanted dirt left over from highway construction. The neighbor told Slate that if he was going to haul it away and use it for the bike park, he could have it for free. One hundred truckloads of dirt later, the park had really come together. Today it includes a pump track in the center and multiple jump lines on the outside, with varying degrees of difficulty, including a jump feature over a decommissioned car.

Back at the brewery, the plan is to eventually add a 1.5-barrel brewhouse in another building on the property and brew more small-batch beers on the premises. Slate already has the plan sketched out, and hopes to install the brewery in the coming years. Live music on Thursdays has helped gain the attention of the town's residents, and the crowd is starting to diversify from the core outdoor enthusiast and RMOC customer base that primarily filled the bar and patio in the early days.
