Absolutely the best beer in the valley. I will wager to say the best beer in the Rocky Mountains. Their hazy IPAs are to die for. The staff is great all locally owned and operated. Pop out in for a beer and tell them Mayor Wolf sent you. read more

We made a quick stop here to try some of their beer. Thankfully they offer flights here which the boyfriend really enjoyed. It was a nice sunny day and they offered both inside and outside seating. We took in the sights and sunshine sitting at one of their tables outside. The place loses a star because they don't offer any public bathrooms. read more

Vail needs craft beer and Vail Brewing (appropriately named) is where you can get it. The brewery fits well into the towns vibes. It's craftily decorated with skiing and snowboarding and wood paneling. It's got TVs and plenty of places to sit inside and outside, including a chair lift bench! The beer is good. It's a must try for craft beer lovers and drinkers. A trip to Vail would be incomplete without stopping in! I'm not saying it's the best beer in the state (it's Colorado we're talking about) but it a definitely great! They have some staples they have on draft all the time and they will cycle in some variations and some new brews every so often. Prices are good and their brewery swag is on point. Definitely some souvenirs in there!! read more

Stopped here on vacation with my husband and parents. We loved the Deck Daze Wheat and Hot mess blonde. Nice patio seating, friendly staff, clean, and nice atmosphere. I recommend coming here to have a beer and take in the scenery. read more

Nice atmosphere with outdoor seating ... good brews and friendly service. Offer snacks.

Excellent beer, fantastic service. Tried multiple beers, IPA's were particularly delicious. Two thumbs up!

It is my wife and I first time in Vail. We are both beer lovers and when we heard there was a brewery less then a 5 min walk from our hotel needless to say we were very excited. We stopped in and met the bartenders Kevin, Corbin and Arturo. Not only did they have an incredible knowledge of the beer but they had us laughing constantly. They were both very funny and could hold a conversation. We tried all the beers on the menu. I must say all of them were awesome. Each one so different from the other with great flavors. If you are in Vail I highly recommend you stop in for a great beer and a laugh. read more

Good beer. Great views. Cozy. Good service. Fair pricing. Enjoyed the stop. Recommend it.

Found Vail brewing after cruising the village. Good selection of beer and nice space overlooking the ice rink. The stout was very tasty and worth returning for! read more

The atmosphere and the beer was great. The bartender was absolutely miserable which was a turn off. This was at 2:45pm on 2/3/22. We were a party of 3: #1 ordered a beer flight, #2 ordered a beer flight, when #3 ordered his beer flight, the bartender said very matter of factly, sorry, we don't have any more containers to put the beer flights in. Effectively, that there were no more beer flights available. #3 suggested, how about if I just carry the 4 flight glasses individually, to which the bartender jolted and sneered. Her mannerisms, tone, and lack of courtesy were irritating and even offensive. In a town of mostly tourists, including us, I would've expected hospitable service. read more

This beer was so good, had me wishing I could take this entire place back home with me to Chicago. The Hazy is a must have, service was great. Our waitress was very professional and conversational, so was the 'guy' sitting at the counter. We felt welcomed and even took a 6-pack of the IPA's home. This little community share bathrooms, so be ready for a lil bit of a walk, and don't wait until the last minute to go. read more

It's like Disney world, tons of kids and dirty as all get out. Go somewhere else. Poor service, limited selection and very pricy. read more

Very nice selection, good local brews. After golfing, skiing, or mountain biking it's very refreshing to stop here for a couple. Nice atmosphere and they continue to surprise me. read more

We very much enjoyed our visit. Staff was awesome and so helpful. Grabbed a pizza at the server's suggestion and sat outside by the fire pit eating pizza and drinking beer. It was awesome! read more

Small but quaint place to try some local brew. Service was outstanding and the view was awesome. We appreciated that they allowed us to bring in our own food read more

Visited Vail for the first time. We own a brewery in SC. Many told us to stop by VBC, as it's highly recommended. They were not wrong. I've been to A LOT of breweries, but this is one of the top! Every single beer was pure perfection...and the seltzer was excellent too. Did a great job at social distancing too! read more

Great brewery with a wonderful view of the mountains. Seems like it would be a great place to go to after a day of snowboarding. read more

Always great beers, enough outdoor seating/ standing area. One of the few places that stays open later during off season so we are usually there most days. Good selection of beers in the cooler to take back home too! read more

Overall outstanding IPAs. Bartender made us feel welcome. It was a nice reprieve from the sun after soaking it in all day. They do also have an outdoor space if you want to sip in the sun. read more

Neat little brewery. They have indoor and outdoor seating - dog friendly with water bowls outside. They don't serve food, but you can buy assorted bags of chips or bring food in from one of the nearby restaurants. I brought in some pizza I bought down the street. All the beers I tried were very good and faithful to their style. The Contact High Hazy was spot on with a 7% ABV. Pete's Stash Pale Ale was a nice 6% IPAish style beer with Simcoe, chinook, mosaic, and falconers hops. The servers I had were very friendly. They have brewery stickers and some nice shwag - t-shirts, hats, etc. Their crowler cans have a cool design. read more

Great spot to chill and have a drink in the Vail village. I tried the Blonde ale which was delicious and hit the spot after being out in the cold read more

On my most recent visit to Vail Brewing, three groups of people walked in and asked if the brewery served food. The bartender told them no, but mentioned that they could bring food in (she suggested a couple places). The groups never returned. I asked the bartender how often this situation happened--she said "all the time." These poor, poor people have no idea about what fantastic beers they've passed up! Vail Brewing makes some of the finest IPAs in Colorado. I've had seven different ones over the course of two visits and all of them boast a fantastic, fine-grained texture. Both New England-style IPAs stood out and the Tourist Trap Imperial IPA has been consistently excellent (lots of resin and citrus). A wheat IPA, and a black IPA also were memorable, while a rye IPA was more good than great. Pete's Pale Ale excelled on tap with its dry body and citrusy flavors, but tasted somewhat faded in a can. Likewise, the flagship Gore Creek IPA is vibrant on tap (hop oil and pine flavors), but tastes subdued when canned. If you visit Vail and don't go to Vail Brewing, then clearly you fail to recognize that we're living in the golden age of beer. I've driven two hours from Denver just to go to Vail Brewing--that's how great the IPAs are. read more

Love the beer here and definitely love the laid-back atmosphere. Visited in early October so this was the perfect spot to relax in the sun with nice temperatures! read more

Sitting outside on their supposed patio drinking 1 of a 4 pack I bought inside and was told I could not drink outside by the guy that sold me the beer. Then he proceeded to threaten to call the police. Dumped the beer and the place. Beer is good but nasty employee. He must be having a stressed day. CBD store is down the street. Talk a walk and chill dude. read more

This was such a sweet brewery in the heart of Vail, CO. We went twice during our stay in the area. The bartenders were always super nice and let us try samples before committing to a draft. They even recommended different beer combinations like a mix of a Pilsner and the kombucha they brew, which was such a refreshing mix. The front patio with the umbrellas was the perfect spot to enjoy the brews and the views. They patio is dog friendly and so relaxing. Will for sure return next time I'm in town. read more

Laid back small brewery with great patio seating. Tried several different beers and all were good.

So glad to have found a gluten reduced beer here! The blonde is delicious!! Bartender was helpful and timely. We went for the trivia which was not great... the girl running it was a little annoying and we couldnt hear well sitting at the table in the back. Overall though, we had a great time read more

Amazing venue and wonderful staff!!!! Was a great ending to our trip to Vail. Love the beers!!!!

The Recovery Pills is my hands down favorite and there is absolutely no where better to soak up some sun and enjoy a killer view.

Great selection, great location, great service. Kevin was knowledgeable, prompt and super helpful! Definitely will be back.

We went to Vail Brewing Company when visiting Vail with our family from Florida. Our young niece loves breweries so we felt this would be a great place to bring her and her boyfriend. The environment and decor is super trendy and classy. The set up of ordering and paying at the bar and sitting at a table was a bit frustrating. After ordering, we wanted to add another round of beers, but then had to stand in line behind another group again, then when we wanted to add another appetizer... again had to get up and go stand behind another set of people ordering. What would have been an easy $200 bill was only $60. We got annoyed with having to wait in line to order- we didn't have enough time to keep wasting standing in line so we went somewhere else for dinner because of this. Yet to pay the bill... had to stand in line at the bar again- which was an easy 5 min. Yet... you have a waitress. And your supposed to tip her.... The service/ attendance to patrons was very poor however we really enjoyed what we ordered. read more

Bartender the day we went was pretty douchey, seemed more like a tourist bar and not a brewery. The bartender had zero knowledge of the beer and told me to order using my gut to find out if I like it. Mean while, in Avon we went to Ein Prosit and Joe was super knowledgeable, and gave suggestions based on what he likes. Very welcoming. Guess Vail is losing its tact, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you are grabbing a quick beer. read more

Pretty basic spot with some interesting beers on tap. I enjoyed the sour on a recent visit. It was cold in here, wish they had a fireplace. Got a sweet beanie. The singer was too loud. read more

Their Gore Creek IPA was very W Coast Style & easy to drink. I did a tasting of the several other IPAS including the hazy w/ hemp-style Unified Chaos, hazy Cloud IPA, & double IPA Tourist Trap. ALLL had very detailed descriptions of all hops and palette descriptors (see photo). Warren was very friendly! Thank you!! read more

Guy running the counter was a complete A-hole - threatened to kick us out when we joked about our underage ID's (our average age is 38), so we just left and didn't want to spend a penny there. Actually feel bad for the owner having such a terrible employee read more

Loved the beers I tried here in my 6-sample flight! Standouts were the oatmeal coconut stout and brown ale. Also liked the pale ale, pilsner, amber and double IPA. Next time I'll try the apricot sour. Dog/kid friendly and there was a taco truck or front on Saturday night. Lots of options, seemed like 20+ beers on tap. Looks like they host lots of fun events like poses and pints yoga, trivia and live music nights. I can't wait to return! Pretty packed but friendly, efficient service. read more
