If you’re the kind of person who thinks a mountain adventure isn’t complete without a cold pint in hand, welcome to beer paradise! This slice of the Rockies doesn’t just wow you with its towering peaks and rugged trails—it also knows a thing or two about pouring a great Estes Park beer.
The Barrel
Imagine this: you’re kicking back with a craft beer in hand, your dog snoozing by your feet, and live music playing in the background—all inside a one-of-a-kind storage container turned epic bar. That’s The Barrel. Right on Moraine Ave, this year-round hotspot has 64 rotating taps in the summer, 25 in the winter, and plenty of non-alcoholic drinks, mead, and spirits too. Bring your own food, grab a bite from a food truck, or just snack on-site. It’s a must-visit vibe.
Avant Garde Aleworks
Looking for a brew that’s a little outside the ordinary? Head over to Avant Garde Aleworks, where Belgian-inspired beers and refreshing hard seltzers take center stage. It’s a laid-back, friendly spot that feels like a hidden gem—perfect for swapping hiking stories over a well-crafted pint.
Estes Park Brewery
Here’s the deal: Estes Park Brewery is where you go when you can’t decide what you want—because they have it all! With over a dozen fresh brews on tap and a root beer that’s a hit with kids (and the kid in all of us), there’s something for everyone. Plus, the food is delicious and the beer garden is buzzing.
Lumpy Ridge Brewing Co.
Good beer. Good people. Great mountain views. That’s Lumpy Ridge Brewing in a nutshell. Whether you post up at their converted gas station taproom or hang out downtown at the Publick House, you’re in for some seriously chill mountain-town vibes.
Rock Cut Brewing Company
Last but definitely not least, after a day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, Rock Cut Brewing is the perfect place to refuel and relax. It’s an easy stroll from main street and the kind of place where you’ll instantly feel like a local.
