The Alpine Goat Brewery 

Ready for a new and unique craft brewery experience? The Alpine Goat Brewery in Weyers Cave opened in March to rave reviews. The brewery serves several European-style beers as well as regional favorites like IPA and stout. Expect to love the beer as well as the beautiful views of the mountains from the beer hall-like taproom and outside patio. The brewery emphasizes the ritual and social aspects of spending time talking and laughing with friends and family in a biergarten. Visitors can enjoy outdoor games, fire pits, brewery tours, and small-batch beer releases. The brewery is kid and dog-friendly. Purchase small snacks in the taproom or wait for the rotating food trucks that will be onsite during evening and weekend hours. Come for live music on the weekends, Saturday morning yoga workshops, and chances to meet the goats and make memories.
