Located in Edwards Colorado, the Gore Range Brewery provides the high country with craft beers. Next time you are staying in Vail take the ECO Bus (Eagle County Transit: http://www.eaglecounty.us/Transit) to the town of Edwards for just $4 each way ($1 for seniors). The ride takes 45-65 minutes from the Vail Transportation Center, depending on the number of stops the bus makes. The buses are comfortable, the scenery enjoyable and you can have a sampler and a beer or two without worrying about the drive back.
