Of the many breweries in Summit County, Dillon Dam Brewery seems to rise above the rest. They serve up excellent brew house eats from wraps, pastas, and specialty burgers made from beef, chicken, veggie or buffalo (try the Zurich: smoked bacon, guacamole, and gruyere) to gourmet meat entrees such as “Taj Mahal Osso-Bucco" and “San Luis Pepper Duck.” Rock out to live music on Thursdays during the main summer and winter seasons, or sit outside and take in mountain views from the beer garden. And the highlight, of course, their extensive list of award winning home brews from summer ales to the “Damn Straight Lager.”
Most of the menu items at this Vail venue are served in enormous portions. The appetizers are what put The Red Lion on the map, with 1 inch (2.54 centimeter) thick onion rings and nachos (beef or chicken) that are almost impossible to finish. The lunch and dinner menus offer dry smoked ribs, pulled pork, and a BBQ sauce that is made in-house. Their red and green Chili is award-winning. They offer live entertainment, and daily drink specials. Be sure to try their signature Lion's Bull!
