    Dazzle dazzle sour
    Isabella S.

    Good dazzle dazzle sour beer and plenty of seating inside and out. Has games as well!

    It's a nice space for a group of people to share high top tables and a beer. The beers themselves were unimpressive. I tried four, including a Belgian dubbel and a NE IPA. They were all flat tasting, really dull flavors.

    Well rounded tap list. Drink your colors.

    Huge space here. The most space of the numerous breweries in the area. Super friendly bartender with reasonably priced beer flights to try samples. Really enjoyed their Baltic Porter and Bock. Full Send IPA was decent, as was the Orange Peel Saison. I would be hanging here quite often if I was nearby for the large room alone. Recommend.

    Vicious Cycle Brewing is packed with people on the weekends. There are tons of games, great beers, and typically a food truck. There is a parking lot with additional parking by the bank in Fraser. I noticed a lot of families walking over from the homes nearby. It's great for locals and visitors. They sell merchandise as well.

    Fun new brewery in Fraser. The location is very nice. Whoever designed it did an excellent job. It is visually appealing from the road, draws you in. The inside is even nicer. As for the beer, I loved the High Country Hefe and Scorpion Saison. The Irish Red was also delicious. This should be a must visit when in town. The staff is very friendly and the food truck outside makes amazing food. The only issue is the parking. It is not very big and can fill up quickly leaving people looking for a place to park nearby.

    Cold delicious beer. The decor and ambiance was very welcoming for our first brewery in the mountains. Did not disappoint. Friendly staff

    Sweet dogs are allowed inside :-)

    Amazing accidental discovery! We spent a month in Winter Park this summer and accidentally discovered Vicious Cycle Brewery after meeting their owners at a local distillery. While it may have been an accident for us I advise you all to do it on purpose. Nathan and Rebecca never told us they were the owners, they and their adorable Dalmatian mascot simply encouraged us to check it out. We did, and we ended up back 3x a week all summer after tasting the beer and meeting Travis behind the bar. The food trucks are fantastic and the crowd is so welcoming. Needless to say we will be adding a month in Winter Park to the summer calendar again next year and you will likely find us here every other day. Thank you Vicious Cycle Brewery team for all your hospitality.

    Wanted to give this brewery a better review, but we couldn't tell if it was a brewery or a day care. Nothing but kids running around yelling and going crazy. Couldn't find any seating and it was so loud you could barely hear the person talking next to you unless you were yelling. The beer was good and the bartenders were friendly, but that's about it. Unfortunately wasn't a vibe like we were hoping. Save your $.

    I wish I liked the beer here better! The location is great, the people are so friendly, and the space is gorgeous. I love that they have rotating food trucks, games, and lots of space to hang out. The beer just doesn't do it for me though; the "hazy" is anything but and the darker beers are just kind of lacking.

    Fireplace. It's double sided, so the people inside and outside are warmed by the same fire.

    This brewery is new to the area. They opened about a month ago. The interior is spacious and has a cool and hip vibe. In the far corner you can see the brewing tanks. They have a nice little double sided fireplace and outdoor seating for the warmer months. They are kid and dog friendly. Friendly staff. We even got to chat with the owner/brewer. He is a very nice guy with lots of passion for what he does, and it shows in the beer. We started out with a flight consisting of the High Country Hefe; Tally-Ho - an APA; Full Scorpion - Belgian Saison; and the Fine Irish Morning - an Irish Red Ale. All were good but my wife's was the Hefe and mine was the Irish Red. At first we thought we tasted some coffee in it. Definitely a unique Irish Red. After taking with the brewer it turns out it was chocolate (still a unique flavor for an Irish Red, at least for me). I ordered a pint to confirm, lol. He was right, of course. Very good beer. In addition to those styles, they also had some IPAs, a Stout and an American Light Lager (think Coor's Light), which he created at the petition of the contractors who were constructing the building. Funny stuff. If we had more time, we would have tried them all. They don't sell food at the brewery, but there is a permanent food truck called Phlavor in the patio area that serves up some amazing Asian inspired food. All I all, I really liked this place. I wish them the best and hope to return next time I'm visiting Fraser/Winter Park.

    Clean, knowledgeable staff, good beer, pet friendly.

    Stopped in with my family for tasting. Pleasantly welcomed by staff. Convenient food truck outside serving Korean delicacies. Will come again!

    First time visiting Colorado, so what better way to get the feel! Visited on a Tuesday afternoon and wasn't very busy. Great friendly service, awesome patio, food truck, skaters practicing tricks, dogs welcome and delicious selection of brews.

    This place is fully open! We came here after a day of snowboarding at Winter Park. It is a fun, lively atmosphere. A casual place for a beer after a day on the slopes. I got a flight of 4 beers, the guy did not tell me the Kombucha was non alcoholic. They did fix it for me right away when I asked for another beer. All of the beers are tasty with a good variety of light and IPA. They also have a food truck which is great. However at 5:30p when we got here the truck was out of everything but two things on the menu which was disappointing. But other than that great place! Just don't bank on food. They are very dog friendly inside, which is also great!

If the weather is nice enough I suggest sitting on the patio. They have a gorgeous view and plenty of seating. We tried the Juantons and they are served with their spicy green chile. It was too spicy for me so we got a side of queso and it was perfect for dipping in. I would get these again. The margs are good here too. Pretty strong.

    Excellent BBQ, sauces, sides AND margaritas!…read more We're here in WP for three weeks. This is our second visit to The Smokehouse in the last 10 days. The first time we were disappointed upon arrival when they were out of burnt ends. We're from KCMO and we judge a town's BBQ by their burnt ends. Nonetheless, the brisket, sauces and sides were enough to warrant a second visit. Oh, and that house margarita...chef's kiss! Just what a tired ass mom needs after a long day of "hey moms." On the second visit, I went early at 4PM and ordered carryout. AND a margarita while I waited! The margarita is simple, the perfect size and made with all fresh ingredients. It rivals more notable ones around town. This time, they had ALL the burnt ends and boy, were they worth the wait! I got a one meat platter with burnt ends, collards and Mac n cheese. My husband got a two meat platter with burnt ends, brisket, beans and slaw. We got KC and Texas sauces (they have 5 or 6 to choose from, all inspired by different BBQ regions in the US). Both platters came with cornbread which is the only thing that needs some work IMHO. It's small, dry and not worthy of the calories. But EVERYTHING else was soooo good! Fatty, juicy, flavorful meats. Balanced sauces. And delicious sides! The Mac, collards and beans get an A+, the slaw is a solid B. Service was great on both visits. Friendly, efficient and fast! One thing to note is they have an adorable patio. I've not eaten out there yet but it's well maintained with lots of flowers and good coverage from the sun. Might have to check it out on our third visit!
