Team work was apparent as Austin greeted us and got us started with drinks (helping out Eric). Had to try Dale's Ale. Delicious. We then shared a bunch of appetizers. We did the Nachos with steak (cheese sauce was amazeballs and the steak was excellent), roasted beets (fantastic), fried pickles (delicious), and then Austin brought us by a plate of Hush Puppies (best Hush Puppies we have ever had). We also ordered a cup of their Gumbo to try. Incredibly tasty!! For main courses, my wife and I had the Prime Rib Dip (Delicious), my son had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich (fried-he loved it), my daughter-in-law had a burger that she loved. Loved the set up of the place. Very open and airy. Just an outstanding lunch & experience. Thank you Eric & Austin.

The bar atmosphere was welcoming and we liked the decor. The bathrooms were really nice.

I tried the Nitro Stout. It's now my favorite beer in life. Kinda like Guinness but with a slight…read moresmoke taste. I promptly odered 2 six packs from Total Wine. So a low IBU (I'm not an IPA fan) and 6% ABV. There might be a slight chocolate taste to go with the smoke but it is absolutely not one of those horrid flavored beers.

Avant Garde is a locally-owned craft brewery that specializes in European style beers. They have a number of rotating beers on tap. They don't have a food menu, but food trucks will stop by on a regular basis. The staff is both friendly and helpful with recommendations. One thing that I liked about coming here is that Avant Garde Aleworks is just outside the busy downtown area. It made for easier parking and it was nice to not have to deal with traffic. You can still get great views of Rocky Mountain Park from here. I enjoyed my beer and my short time on the patio to wind down after running my 5K. They have canned beers to-go if you are not able to hang around. Avant Grande is both family and pet friendly. They also host movie nights and live events. Check out their website for updates.

Their charcuterie options were also abundant but we opted for the Colorado wild game sausage board.

The staff is outstanding--everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience. You can tell they really care about what they're building here. The wine selection is excellent, and their flights are a steal at just $14. They also offer meads, mulled cider, and an entirely new food menu that pairs perfectly with the drinks. There's clearly a lot of thought going into the experience now. We also heard a new deck area is coming soon, plus plans for a paella night--which honestly sounds amazing and gives us even more reason to come back. If you haven't been to Snowy Peaks recently, it's absolutely worth another visit. They're doing great things and it's becoming a must-stop spot in Estes Park.

My daughter does not have a taste for beer so she sampled the seltzer and settled on the Cherry Popper. I am always for the dark beers so after trying a sample of the brown and the stout, I chose Wired Greasy Grinder milk stout. The seltzer was interesting as it was not back-sweetened like so many are. It was more like a flavored sparkling water, but with alcohol. She really liked it. The milk stout had a wonderful malty, roasty flavor that I love. When my friend arrived, she chose the same as me and we all sat and enjoyed some conversation. This is a nice location tucked away just off I-25. I look forward to visiting again.
