Vail Brewing Company

I love this brewery. Not only is it close by, but the beer is good and there's always a great selection. The beers rotate regularly and they are almost all good. The crew is top notch and friendly. I'm a member of the mug club and really enjoy my time there. They allow dogs and there are frequently more than one there. There is a fire pit outside, next to the food truck which is usually Rocky Mountain Taco. In the winters they sometimes have a large tent so you can sit outside the brewer but still stay warm. I highly recommend this brewery. Maybe I'll see you there!

Excellent beers, really appreciate the flights of 4 beers of your choice. My favorite was the Japanese rice ale, light and refreshing. The taco truck food were perfect with the beers.

Dog friendly inside just must follow the totally understandable rules. Great beer! Delicious food truck.

This was the other half of our lunch experience after our day at Vail (the other being that Rocky Mountain Taco food truck outside. Upon entry, I noticed a funny smell - can't tell you what exactly it is: not gross, but not altogether pleasant necessarily. I've been to other breweries with on-site beer-making facilities, and I've never noticed a smell like that. No matter ... you walk up to a counter to order and pay; the choices are written on a board behind the counter (they listed 'water' too!). You could try before you buy, but I knew what I wanted. After asking about the two options under "IPA - my kind of beer" (the latter part of that was in my head), I chose one (the hoppier one of course), and I liked what I had: at, what $6 or something like that, it was a good price for a pint. Bathrooms are at the back, to your left.

Beer is fantastic, bartenders are attentive and friendly, and they the locals are fun to talk to. Hands down recommend coming here! And dogs are welcome which is a huge plus!

I'm so spoiled to be living in Seattle, WA "Beer Mecca" that I sometimes become apprehensive going to other breweries outside the Pacific Northwest. With VBC I wasn't disappointed and the beer selection is top notch. What a great job of brewing some world class IPA's. The IPA that I kept coming back to was the "SuperNova" and it was really a great IPA that suited my taste the best. Another IPA I really liked was "Passive Aggressive". The atmosphere is laid back Colorado where you can just hang out with the other locals. To top off a great brewery, they have a taco truck, Rocky Mountain Taco outside that hits the spot to have a hike and the a pint and a couple of carne tacos. I can come here every day I'm in Vail; it's that good.

Great spot for locals and tourist willing to venture out from the resort area. Indoor seating, beer only. Food can be purchased right outside from Rocky Mountain Taco food truck. The beer is great, but honestly, the food truck is a real gem as well. Outdoor seating and a heated tent outdoors for even more seating.

Great spot to grab a cold one after enjoying a hike or bike ride around Avon! Dogs welcome, but only outside. We all enjoyed our beers and the Tex-Mex food truck (Rocky Mountain Taco, an Avon "thing"). Standard order-at-the-bar service. Not overly busy on a Saturday in June!

Yum! The beers here are by far my favorite Colorado craft beers. The blonde coffee "morning after" blows my mind! I love coffee and beer but all the coffee beers are a dark heavy stout...except this one. Wow who knew a blonde coffee beer would be so damn good?! It's my fav. The seltzers have been super delicious and I can't wait to see what flavor profile they come up with next. Love the hazy IPA "contact high" as well. You honestly can't go wrong. The beers just have a pizazz and flavor that stands out from other brewers.

Excellent beer selection and they had a great food truck. We were able to enjoy the afternoon out with our pup.
