Brewery Creek is a hard hike in the Saguache Ranger District of Colorado's Rio Grande National Forest, about 6 miles long with a one-way elevation gain of 2,240 feet. The trail starts at a low point of about 9,870 feet and climbs to a high of about 12,120 feet, making it a steep out-and-back. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open year-round. It is a natural-surface route, and both horses and bikes are allowed. The Brewery Creek Guard Station and Brewery Creek Cabin sit about a mile away, and the Antora Creek and Flagstaff hikes are within half a mile. For an overnight stay, Silver Creek Dispersed Campground is about 8 miles off.
