Really easy outdoor/indoor place for beer. Best prices I can find in the area and locally made. Beers were 6 bucks eating in but 10 bucks for a six pack to take away which is great for a microbrew. Nice atmosphere, easy to talk to people who were friendly and kind. Taco truck outside is awesome and a nice dispensary next door.

Stopped here on our way home from Glenwood springs to grab a beer and some lunch. This is the cutest spot that is tucked away behind a gas station, limited parking but you’ll be fine. I had the guava cider which was easily the best thing I’ve ever had in my adult life, highly highly recommend. My husband tried the hazy IPA which was also really good(and I don’t drink beer). The outdoor seating is partially covered but there’s also some seats in the sun with a beautiful view of the mountains. Loads of pups so super dog friendly.
The food truck when we went was the taco truck which was also amazing, highly recommend the white girl burrito and the pork tacos were also amazing!
Definitely stop by this brewery, from a girl that doesn’t like beer, I could a shameful amount of their IPA’s!

Vail Brewing Company is a local brewery for me. As a result, I've visited many times. Always a good experience. Their beers are excellent. I can recommend this without reservations, as long as you understand this is a very casual experience. No food is available from within the brewery. There is a taco truck outside. It's totally permissible to bring the food into the brewery.

Great beer and fair prices on filling growlers (much better than the competitor in downtown Avon). The girls said the raspberry cranberry cider was the best cider they had ever had!

Great atmosphere, great place to relax with friends and a great place to try a variety of award winning beers. Flights of six or twelve are available. Fire place for warmth, wait staff for great service, and great beer to enjoy while you wait out the weather or wind down from the week. Wish we lived closer.

Great place to stop after a ski day! Good-sized indoor space with outdoor patio for sunny days. Fun little yurt as well. Rocky Mountain taco food truck is parked outside as well - best tacos in the area. Lots of different beer styles and the Hot Mess is a blonde gluten-reduced. Also have some seltzers.

We love this place and stop in when we travel from the front range to the Western slope. A great place to stop for a beer or grab some to go. We often do both!

Great spot that I've enjoyed going to for the last 8 years. It's got a great staff, the beer is good, plus a nice spot that brings in talented music acts occasionally from around Colorado. If you go there at peak times it can be difficult to find parking. There is always a good mix of visitors and locals who stop in.

Really great beers. Almost perfect. Awesome beers and great atmosphere. Brooklyn was a great beer tender. Wish they had a dishwasher. With the traffic it would make me more comfortable. Definitely be back. Get a dishwasher! It's 2021! It's 2022. Still no dishwasher! Drinking out of hand washed glassware makes me sad 😕🤔😀 …

Love this spot. Best beer and vibe. So relaxed and full of amazing locals. Rocky Mountain taco and their awesome burritos make it the perfect stop on an afternoon in the valley.

The beer was great at Vail Brewing Co! We went during a really packed day and the girl behind the counter was having no problem keeping up with everyone’s orders. I thought that they way they wrote the beer menu board with all the different fonts and colors was super cute. We will be back!

Great brewery right off I70 in Eagle Vail. I recommend the Vernal Hazy IPA. Tasty and a low IBU.
