Breweries & Wineries in Estes Park
Colorado has long been a favored home to breweries of all sizes and their fans: did you know that both the world’s single largest brewery (Coors) and festival (Great American Beer Festival) are located here? It is a state that has also made thousands of successful microbreweries and regional craft brands possible: every town has one or two to call its own, and Estes Park is no exception! Are you a fan of breweries and wineries? Estes Park is a wonderful place to visit if you are! Featuring eleven styles from stout to pale ale, the Estes Park Brewery is our town’s top source for hand-crafted beer. All can be had on tap or bottled, perfect for taking home. From the list, Stinger Wild Honey Wheat and Longs Peak Raspberry Wheat have led a poll on their site–not a bad place to start! The Brewery’s full menu of burgers, sandwiches, and salads, plus pool tables and video games, make for a complete evening out. Best of all, they are located just a 2-minute drive or 20-minute walk down the road from Brynwood on the River.
Thanks to the climate so many outdoor enthusiasts have enjoyed, visitors to Estes Park can also taste the fruits of Snowy Peaks Winery at their tasting room on 292 Moraine Avenue. These wines are produced in small enough batches that are all sold directly to the public at their location in Estes Park.
Fans of Estes Park brewing can also taste even more of Colorado’s finest at town-sponsored festivals such as the Whiskey Warm-Up, the Autumn Gold Festival, and the Fall Back Beer Festival, which coincides with Learn to Homebrew Day. These family-friendly events bring attendees and brewers together with live music and delicious food for a fun and educational experience. Look at Estes Park’s official list of events for further details!
There is no pairing quite like an active day outdoors with a gourmet beer or wine to finish the evening, so it is also no wonder why Colorado has become one of the top sites for craft beers and microbreweries in the nation. Try some of them for yourself during your next stay with Brynwood on the River!
