Great service by lindsey....fast, friendly and attentive. Cozy fireplace and a laid back relaxed seating. 12 beers on tap (beer only, no wine or liquor), with a variety of styles. The gose was pretty good as were the 2 double ipas and my wife liked the seltzer (she is a wine drinker normally). They had cans and a special bottle to go as well as the tap room offerings.
Plenty of parking and we would certainly go back when We return to vail.

We LOVE the beer here. Snow angle was sooooo good!!!! My boyfriend enjoyed the CDC brown ale. Smaller place with cozy vibes. Bartenders are very friendly. We enjoyed Kevin’s company. He gave us some great recommendations! Will be back one day!! Thanks for the memories. (:

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to drink local. Great location with plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating around firepits with a view of the ice skating rink. I loved the ski chairlift inside! The Dark Necessities Porter was delicious.

Checked out the brewery as it was only a 5 minute walk from the Four Seasons. The location is just the right size as its cozy but big enough to have a decent size crowd. The beer-tender was extremely helpful not just with the beer selection but recommending activities in the surrounding areas. They have a good selection of IPA’s and blonde Ale’s. I recommend the Hot Mess Blonde or the Core Greek IPA.

My wife and I went by Vail Brewing Company early in the afternoon. It’s a nice, warm, comfortable place to enjoy a beer located on the second floor of a development near the center of Vail village. The local bus stop is located right outside at the street so getting there is easy. Bathrooms were located downstairs, and were common to several establishments. The place was clean, the beer was good.... it was crowded but the small wait to be seated was worth it. We will go back.

The Vail Valley’s newest brewery very well may be its best.
On a recent trip to the Valley, I dropped into VBC several times with both family and friends.
Having at one time as many as 15 beer selections on tap, I tried most, including a delectable Kolsch, an IPA, and a couple of lighter summer-type beers. On my first day there, they had a bourbon-influenced stout which was truly exceptional.
No food, although on the weekends a fine taco food truck is prominently parked outside the front door.
Brewmaster Garrett really knows his craft, and I look forward to seeing VBC expand its presence by kegs and cans, which I understand are in the relatively near future.
Of particular note, two of the brewery’s founders are former Green Berets, and it’s nice to see the Old Glory that they brought back from Afghanistan hanging proudly over the brewing vessels.
The only negative after several visits is I wish the blonde beertender would act like she enjoyed her job a bit more, but perhaps I just caught her at a bad time.

This is pretty far from the gondola but you are rewarded with excellent beers for a reasonable price. It's tiny and can imagine it might be hard to get a seat on a busy day but we didn't have that problem.

We stopped here rather later, for Vail, and were greeted with warm smiles from Aurtoro, (spelling?). There was another small party and you could tell it was about to close. Aurtoro took great care of us. I'm not a huge beer drinker so he mentioned adding Kambucha to a certain brew and it was by far the best! While we were there we had great conversations and recommendations. Definitely stop by and check out Vail Brewing while in Vail Village.

We met a couple of friends here shortly after all arriving into town and the place had the perfect ambiance to grab a couple of beers and relax with friends. The beer is great with numerous options on tap to meet anyone's craft beer tastes. There was a fire place going with several tables, high tops, bar and a lounging area with couches. There were books and games for kids to be entertained while you stopped for a beer or two. Outside there is a famous taco truck for the world's best tacos if you need a bite. And if you want to walk around the corner there is a dispensary if you feel so inclined. We stayed for a couple of hours, had a great service, great beers and left early evening. We would definitely recommend you make a stop.
