Upstairs seems like someone’s converted attic. Terrible aesthetics and layout. Long bar, typical wait staff with feigned interest in anything you have to ask them. Families, tourist and loud kids all over. Typical pub food. Beer is not great but is much better than the bile you find in their bottles. Only brewpub for miles, worth a few mins of time from the dedicated beer traveler but it’s by no means a destination.

Average to below average beer, good location, didn’t have the food. The beer is the same ber that yo get at every half assed brewpup in the USA. Worth a visit if you are in the area, but don’t plan your day around it.

Stopped by early evening. This place was much larger than I imagined and a little sloppier than I guessed too. LOTS of kids and families. It was not an atmosphere that I would enjoy for any period of time but it was tolerable (reminded me of the Smoky Mountain brewery for those that have been there). Food selection was sports bar in make up and fair tasting (I did not have the pizza but it looked good). The beer selection was decent and all were fairly drinkable. My biggest beef was the service. Once our waiter took our initial order I did not see him until I was trying to pay the check. I had to get my own silver ware and napkins and flag down other waiters to get water. I only got my initial 4 beer sampler and that was it as I could not have ordered more if I have wanted. I left annoyed. Would I go back??? I suppose so if I really, really, wanted a beer.

Strangely large. Lots of places to be. Lots of things to look at. Quite a few beers on tap, quite good food of the common sorts. That’s not a knock; the selection is good, and the food is good. Definitely worth the time.

Located in beautiful Estes Park. The place was okay to look at on the inside and clean, but the view outside was gorgeous. The food was above average. Similar menu to most brewpubs. Beers were pretty good. They also had a tasting counter, which I didn’t hit. A nice place to go while in the area.

Pre-32nd birthday bash. Had the brat plate and the sampler. Nice two-story building nestled in the heart of Estes Park. Good service. Kickin’ gift shop. The sample bar on the first floor is free... Just tip the guys good, huh? Beer labels are available for $1 (for all available) at the sample bar...just ask.

[Colorado Road Trip – 2006] A fun brew pub with a big park in the background. This was a great place to stop and have some lunch they had some great food. As for tasters you can get all you want for free downstairs or sit upstairs and pay 50cents each. We did both it was much better upstairs sitting than having to stand while everyone going to the bathroom looked at you. A fun place some good beers the staff was very nice.

tasting room downstairs. resteraunt with cafeteria type atmosphere. Building is in disrepair. Leaking roof on a rainy day. The food was among some of the worst I have had. Selection was descent. Service at the tasting room was great. Service upstairs in the resteraunt was awful. Won’t be back

Ambiance is family friendly/ touristy. Service is about average, a little slow if they are busy but friendly. The beer selectiion is good, but most beers are average. The food is good, but small quanities for the price. Nothing to make a special trip for, but not bad if you’re in the area.

Food is tasty, but not much atmosphere. Loud room noise but not patrons and not refined. Atmosphere like eating in a school cafeteria. I think they had 5 brews to choose from, none I especially liked, though none were really awful.
