Best beer in Estes Park. Dog Friendly. Great Open Mic program. Beautiful Patio. Great selection of Food Trucks.

Great aesthetic and cool vibe! The beer selection is a little limited, but they have a Belgian strong ale with true Belgian yeast. Bravo. But the venue makes all the difference. Definitely need to check out if coming to town!

I tasted their imperial stout and the basil ginger blonde ale. I don't like blonde ale but this basil ginger one is sooooooooo delicious!!! You can definitely taste the basil and the ginger, make this a very special beer. The imperial stout is good too.

Yes, you can get their beer all over town, but you can't beat it straight from the source! Beautiful outdoor seating area with great views. Staff is friendly, and they always have a rotation of food trucks popping by. What more could you ask for?Oh, you want a great place off the madness on Elkhorn? Done!

Avant Garde Aleworks is just on the outskirts of Estes making it a little more quiet than downtown. They have a chill atmosphere, music, a large patio with a nice mountain view, fire table and heaters for chiller weather. The beer selection was a little light on my stop but included: a petite saison, rice lager, le fourquet (Belgian style), farmhouse saison, rye IPA, and a boozy imperial stout (that is good for me). They also have various seltzers for non beer people. The in doors is a little small but this in Colorado so I see the push to outside. The staff was friendly but I did not talk much beer with them. They had an awesome food truck for my stop and I would definitely stop again.

Rye ipa is top shelf, great outdoor seating and crew

For Estes Park, this is an a-okay brewery. For the seasoned craft brewery traveler, this isn’t quite it. It’s a cute little place with minimal seating inside, decent beers, and a food truck outside that serves burgers and breakfast tacos. Walking in, it seemed much smaller than you would think. A few tables inside, but the thing that irked us was how tiny the space at/behind the bar was when ordering. If anyone is sitting at the bar drinking, you feel like you’re crowding their space trying to order yourself.
The outside is spacious with lots of seating options, but unfortunately this leads to tons of kids running around and screaming. Was a bummer that the Colorado Saison was truly average-or-below, and the Belgian Pale Ale was decent. Got out of there pretty quick and headed over to Rock Cut which is overall a totally different and more enjoyable experience.
Great brewery for Estes Park. I like the French Pilsner and the pizza at the Mangia Mangia food truck on Saturdays is fantastic. Nice space to hang.

Regardless of the Chris S review, they brew good beers here. This is my 370th brewery so I've been around. All the beers are solid. The strong ale and the Imp Stout are favorites. Plenty of shaded seating outside. 4 tables inside and three barstools in front of a cactus garden.

This brewery is solid place for beers, we stopped by a for a flight of tasters and all of them were enjoyable. Their patio is nice and spacious, the playlist of music was enjoyable, nice views, a great atmosphere, and and a very good West Coast IPA

Warm, kind mountain people vibes; they have clean poncho blankets for you to snuggle with outside when the sun goes down. Love the servers , love the soft pretzels , love the frosé✨.
Good beers. Better views...
Wonderful vibe, beer, and staff!
