Burning Man, Beer, and Breckenridge: Meet Jason Ford of Broken Compass Brewing

Published: March 31, 2020, 5:56 p.m.

Jason Ford is not just the owner of Broken Compass Brewing Company in Breckenridge, Colorado, he is an icon in the Colorado craft beer scene. His passion for life and commitment to community are infectious.\xa0

An avid cyclist, mountain lover, brewer, and builder of the Man at Burning Man, this guy\u2019s got life figured out. If you\u2018ve never been to Breckenridge, this quaint (albeit busy) little mountain town has held a place in our hearts for many years.\xa0The ski resort, the people,\xa0the mountain vistas, the fall leaves, the hiking and mountain biking trails, and the breweries here - you get the picture.

If we hadn\u2019t moved into our RV, this is where we would have lived. In fact, we might just park our RV here forever.\xa0

We hope you catch the passion bug from Ford like we did.\xa0In fact both he and Kenny were so excited to be chatting about Burning Man, the mountains, and beer, that neither of them could stop pounding the table. Anyhow, Ford will get you stoked for community while encouraging you to live the life you love.\xa0So while you may not be able to move to Breckenridge right now or head off to Burning Man yet, you can definitely start planning.

Oh the places we went!
