⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review
Avant Garde Aleworks in Estes Park is one of those breweries you visit once and immediately add to your “must return” list. This place delivers everything you hope for in a Colorado craft brewery experience—quality beer, a relaxed vibe, friendly people, and a beautiful setting that makes you want to stay for hours. As a big IPA fan, I was especially impressed with their selection. Their IPAs are bold, fresh, and balanced, with the kind of flavor profiles you expect from a brewery that clearly takes pride in its craft. Every pour tasted clean and intentional, which is something I always look for when trying new breweries.
The atmosphere is equally impressive. The outdoor patio is fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for enjoying mountain air while sipping a cold beer. On a nice day, it’s hard to beat. Inside, the space feels cozy and inviting, with a warm, modern aesthetic that makes it just as enjoyable when the weather turns cooler. It’s one of those breweries where you feel at home the moment you walk in.
Another great perk is the rotating food trucks. It’s always nice to have good food options on-site, and the variety keeps things interesting every time you visit.
If you’re in Estes Park and enjoy quality craft beer, Avant Garde Aleworks should be at the top of your list. A fantastic brewery with consistently great beer and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Highly recommended!

Don't waste your time. The staff panders to locals and could care less for traveling beer nerds. We had locals spill beer on us and even had someone flip us off as the left. Very disappointing because the beer was very good... the experience was awful.

Their entire beer menu is solid - great patio and environment on a nice day in Estes!

Great patio with lots of space and shade. Dogs welcome which was a plus for us. We loved all 3 beers we tried, but the cream ale was probably our favorite. We also enjoyed some of the BBQ from their food truck (which was awesome along with all the sides).
Love this brewery. Staff and beverages are amazing!

Amazing beers and other brewed seltzer made right there. They always have great service and their employees know a lot about beer. If you ever find yourself in Estes Park, make sure you make time for a pint at Avant Garde.

Loved this smaller brewery in Estes. The people who run it are super passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. Will definitely be back!
