    Edwards has Crazy Mountain Brewing and Gore Range Brewpub. Crazy Mountain is a cool place to hang out during the summer, very laid back.

    As for bars, I can't really help. Don't spend a lot of time in bars up there any more.

    Still looking for a good beer shop, myself. My brother-in-law lives in Avon so he thinks Beaver Liquor is great, but he also doesn't drink much. I haven't been there in years. I know there is a little shop in East Vail incorporated with the market and there's a shop in West Vail back by the grocery store. The East Vail shop has a tiny selection. West Vail is slightly bigger. I am not aware of any awesome shops, yet, sorry.

    Yeah I don't think it's a great brewery or anything, just the atmosphere is nice there. The Mountain Living isn't bad, but the wit is a chamomile bomb.

    i couldn't make out the chamomile, the corriander overwhelmed it for me. tasted like a damned spice rack.

    I like to go to the Red Lion everytime I visit Vail. Not sure about the selections, but its a pretty cool pub.
