I slept about 4 hours the night before to make it early for sunrise. To say that a few tasty beers were what the doctor ordered would be the understatement of the century! None of this matters, of course, to the good folks at Rocky Cut Brewing Company. This is off the main drag of Estes in an unassuming strip plaza. Humble vibes inside, a simple U-shaped bar top with seating all around, a few smaller tables, a community table, and a large patio with mostly picnic table seating. If you're lucky, snag a stool right along the Big Thompson River! Though, I recommend they fix the wooden placeholders for beers, they're leaning on the wrong side of history, we don't want any full glasses of beer reaching an unnecessary demise! Interference IPA * American IPA * 6.7% * 16oz ($7) From their website: "Climbing the Interference Boulder in Rocky Mountain National Park requires strength and power. This Colorado IPA showcases the power of hops with an intense blend forging citrus aromas with a pine forward finish. Featured ingredients: Cascade, El Dorado, Mosaic, Chinook, & Simcoe hops * Recommended adventure: hiking Black Lake, climbing the Twin Owls, skiing upper Hidden Valley." A perfectly apt description. I would summarize this beer just as they did, focusing on hops, citrus, and pine. Absolutely delicious, a memorable IPA in recent memory. I liked it so much I ordered it again and it tasted just as delicious the second time down! They also had a food truck outside, so safe to assume they do this often. Would love to try more of their beers during my next visit. Rock Cut, I see you!

Not everywhere had shade but we found a spot with an umbrella. We ordered some food and a couple drinks inside. They ended up bringing food out to our table and also checked in a couple times so the service was great as well. Drinks were nice and cold with what seemed like a solid selection to choose from. Food was overall tasty and we'd order everything we got again. The cheese curds were fantastic and you get a good size order for the cost. The burger was good, but average and nothing really special. Lastly, the O rings were great and out favorite being the breadcrumbs not beer battered. I'm sure it gets PACKED during nice weather and days but we'll definitely try to be back at some point!!

You can bring your food inside and then imbibe on great selection of adult beverages they have to enjoy your food with. Dog water bowls are provided throughout the establishment if your pups thirsty add well. Fun place to stop and fill your tank!

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.

The outdoor patio is large, pet-friendly, and a great place to hang out. Everyone working was friendly and welcoming. My wife and I split a burger, and I took our server's recommendation by ordering something I normally wouldn't: a burger with avocado, Swiss cheese, and bacon. It was a great combination--nothing overpowered the other flavors, and it all came together really well. The fries (not pictured) were also crispy and delicious. Our group of six had a great time, and we'd definitely stop back before another concert
