I've heard lots of great things about Aspen and Vail, and I do recall some douche on this site making fun of people who complained when they were charged 12 dollars for a bud light; no telling the cost of craft beers out there.

They're pretty reasonably-priced. There isn't any sort of tourist price-gouging thing going on. I don't know about buying drinks at an outdoor concert, but at the bars, drinks are about the same price you would expect to pay anywhere else.

In the winter the resorts are really fun since they have bars and restaurants in walking distance, but how do they compare in the summer?

As I mentioned above about Aspen in the summer, they are great, at least in Aspen (I don't know about Vail). Stay someplace close in to downtown Aspen. Everything will be in walking distance.
