About
Our Story
The Lake Placid Pub & Brewery serves great beers and delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere. Since 1996, the LPP&B has been Lake Placid’s pub of choice, with the freshest microbrewed ales and lagers, including the famous Ubu Ale, and traditional pub fare sure to please everyone. You will always find Ubu Ale on tap at the Pub, and frequently will find favorites such as Moose Island Ale, 46’er Pale Ale, and Lake Placid IPA. We also feature many rotating seasonal beers such as Leaping Cow ESB, Twice Bitten Barleywine, Ectoberfest Lager, Maibock, High Peaks Hefeweizen, and Dr. Fogg’s Oatmeal Stout. We have brewed more than 150 different styles of beer over our 28+ years in business.
On the second floor at the LPP&B, experience what Skiing magazine calls “a top-quality brewpub.” Have a great meal, enjoy an award-winning beer, and just sit in front of the stone fireplace and relax. In the summer, kick back on our deck overlooking beautiful Mirror Lake or under the tent in our beer garden. Downstairs at the LPP&B, experience the legendary P.J. O’Neill’s, a true Irish pub with the warm character of aged wood and brick. In business for almost 40 years, the downstairs bar is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. And now enjoy our third floor, The Hop Loft, opened in February of 2013, featuring another outdoor deck overlooking the lake, another bar and seating area, as well as a kids room featuring activities to keep the toddlers busy while you enjoy your time at the Pub. Three stories of fun, and all accessible by our elevator.
Ask a local where to find the best food in Lake Placid and they will steer you to the Lake Placid Pub & Brewery. Our menu features pub classics like an assortment of detroit-style deep dish pizzas, mouthwatering cheeseburgers, and the best wings this side of Buffalo. Other favorites include Fish & Chips, Shepherds Pie, Josh’s Fire Fish, and more. And don’t worry about the little ones — they can choose from our “Brewmaster in Training” selections such as grilled cheese or chicken fingers.

Our Founder
Christopher & Catherine Ericson officially opened Big Slide in June of 2016. Chris has also owned and operated The Lake Placid Pub & Brewery since he founded the company in 1996 at the age of 24. He graduated from Williams College with degrees in History and Psychology in 1993 then decided to pursue microbrewing in his native Maine at Kennebunkport / Shipyard Brewing Company. He then was hired as Head Brewer at The Shed Restaurant & Brewery in Stowe, Vermont, where he worked for a year and a half. During that time, Christopher and a friend from Williams wrote a business plan and their search for a location led them to Lake Placid. In 2000, Chris & Catherine married, and Catherine began working as a crucial part of the ownership structure. Chris’s beers have received dozens of awards in both international and national competitions.
