Breweries By Travis Pearson

yoming might lag behind the Colorados or Oregons of the world when it comes to the sheer number of microbreweries. But what the state lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality. In the past decade, Cowboy State brewers have taken home awards at national and international beer competitions and show no signs of slowing down. 5HVLGHQWV KDYH WDNHQ QRWLFH 0LFUREUHZHULHV DUH Ę‘RXULVKLQJ LQ HYHU\ FRUQHU RI WKH VWDWH ZKHUH EUHZHULHV VHUYH XS GHOLFLRXV VWRXWV DPEHUV ODJHUV DQG PRUH 7KH IROORZLQJ DUH VRPH RI WKH EHVW EUHZHULHV :\RPLQJ KDV WR RĘ?HU

Black Tooth Brewing Co.

Lander Brewing Co.

Ready to â€œDrink the West?â€? Good, because with a newly ďŹ nished 8,500-square-foot facility capable of producing 50,000 barrels annually, Black Tooth Brewing Co. is bringing its signature beers to a location near you.

The Lander Brewing Company started making beer at a small facility near the Popo Agie River back in the late 1800s. The once-thriving operation was forced to cease production due to Prohibition, but 120 years later, the brewery reopened with a bang.

The Sheridan-based brewery started creating approachable beers in 2010. The past year, Black Tooth has undergone some big, exciting changes. Aside from the installation of the fully automated 30-barrel brew house, the company has completely overhauled its image, complete with new logo and can designs. The upgrades have coincided with Black Tooth beers taking the West by storm. The breweryâ€™s beers are available throughout Wyoming and parts of South Dakota and Montana. In the near future, the brewery plans to distribute to 10 surrounding states. Look for six-packs of Black Toothâ€™s ďŹ‚agship beers â€” Saddle Bronc Brown, Bomber Mountain Amber and Hot Streak IPA â€” at bars and grocery stores across Wyoming. This summer, the brewery will roll out its summer seasonal, Caught Lookinâ€™ Blonde. Donâ€™t miss it!

Under the direction of brewmaster Nathan Venner, Landerâ€™s only brewery prides itself on creating fresh, high-quality beers. LBCâ€™s goals have certainly been realized. The brewery has taken home several awards, including a gold medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival. The brewery originally offered craft beer at the CowďŹ sh Restaurant and next door Lander Bar. But over the past decade, LBC has expanded its distribution to Jackson, Riverton, Casper, Cody and other Wyoming locations. Due to the increased demand, the company installed two new 15-barrel fermentors, doubling the breweryâ€™s production capacity. Lander Brewing Companyâ€™s signature beers include Atlantic City Gold, Jack Mormon Pale Ale, Rockchuck Rye, Half-Tanked Hefeweizen, On Belay IPA and Silver Fox Saison. Also, be sure to go to the source for the latest seasonal offerings.

Breweries Melvin Brewing

Back in 2009, Jeremy Tofte and Kirk McHale dreamed of creating big, exciting West Coast-style IPAs in Jackson. They founded Melvin Brewing and started doing just that — with resounding success. After upgrading to a three-barrel brewing system, Tofte and McHale immediately developed the Melvin IPA and 2x4 Double IPA, which went on to win a gold medal at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival, among other accolades. The success brought on another honor, as Melvin Brewing took home the 2015 Small Brew Pub and Small Brew Pub Brewer of the year awards. Melvin now boasts more than 40 recipes out of its brand new, 30-barrel, four-vessel brewing system in Alpine, Wyoming, about 35 miles southwest of Jackson. The business will continue to operate the three-barrel system out of Thai Me Up Restaurant in Jackson, ensuring quality, creative brews at two locations. Aside from the award-winners, signature offerings include ChChCh-Cherry Bomb (fruit beer), Killer Bees (honey ale), Coffee Ruckus (coffee imperial stout) and Hey Zeus (Mexican lager), to name a few.

Millstone Pizza and Brewing If good beer and entertainment sounds like a fun evening — and, let’s be honest, it does — then Millstone Pizza and Brewing Company in Cody is worth the trip. With 13 ﬂat-screen TVs upstairs and an arcade downstairs, the brewery has something for everyone. The menu features pizza, burgers, sandwiches and more. The bar offers 16 taps of both macro and microbrews, with as many as 10 taps featuring in-house beers made on a three-barrel brewing system. Millhouse features light options like a blonde and orange wheat, and dark beers like a stout and porter. Coming up this summer, the brewery plans a chocolate stout and an imperial IPA.

Pat O’Hara Cody-based Pat O’Hara Brewing Co. prides itself on customer service, top-quality food and innovative, tasty craft beers. Opened in 2013 by a husband and wife team, Pat O’Hara offers a full-service restaurant to go along with its microbrews. On the food side, Pat O’Hara puts an Irish spin on pub favorites. The Reuben sandwich is a crowd favorite. Fish and chips, shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash are other hits. Of course, no pub menu is complete without cheeseburgers, barbecue pulled pork, wings and cheese sticks — all made in-house with fresh ingredients. The brewery maintains 15 craft beers on tap, including a rotated selection of Pat O’Hara brews like Signature Attitude Adjustment Amber, Living the Dream Pale Ale, Anticipation English Brown, King Kirk Kolsch and Loki ESB.

Snake River Brewing Snake River Brewing — Wyoming’s ﬁrst brewpub — opened in 1994 and has consistently produced outstanding, awardwinning beers ever since. Based in Jackson Hole, a place with no shortage of year-round activities, founders Albert and Joni Upsher wanted to create a world-class brewery to help slake the thirst of those who test their limits in the great outdoors. Mission accomplished: The brewery has been honored with multiple World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival medals and won Small Brewery of the Year — twice. On top of creating great beer, Snake River has also started several environmental initiatives in recent years. The brewery installed solar panels on its roof, switched to all LED lighting, switched to all cans and buys local and organic ingredients as often as possible. And, more than 20 years later, the beer is still fantastic. Popular offerings include Pako’s EYE-P-A, Snake River Pale Ale, Jenny Lake Lager and a whole lot more. The brews are offered in many bars and grocery stores throughout Wyoming, and the brewpub is always worth a visit after exploring the Tetons. Because, as Snake River’s mission statement puts simply: “The world doesn’t need another beer, but a better beer!”

Breweries Snowy Mountain Brewery Tucked away in beautiful Saratoga, Wyoming, Snowy Mountain Brewery might be the Cowboy State’s best-kept secret. Opened in 1995, Snowy Mountain has spent the last 20-plus years perfecting its recipes and making great beer. The key is in the ingredients. Beginning with water from unspoiled natural wilderness located nearby, the brewmaster uses hops and barley from all over the world to craft delicious beers. Snowy Mountain Brewery features 10 signature brews, including Saratoga Witbier, Indian Rye IPA, Lone Ranger Red and High Altitude Helles.

The Library Since 1994, University of Wyoming students have been reminded, “Don’t lie to your mom, tell her you’re at the Library!” Unsuspecting moms likely don’t realize this particular library refers to The Library Sports Grille and Brewery, a great place to grab some grub and brews in Laramie. What started out as a small, four-barrel system more than 20 years ago has turned into a 15-barrel system at a new location under new ownership. The pub and grille offers a casual, sports bar atmosphere with 20 big-screen TVs to catch all the big games. The menu features chicken wings, burgers and pizza pucks. The beer, meanwhile, always comes unﬁltered and usually conditioned in kegs. The Library does not use industrial brewing ingredients like corn syrup, rice sugar or other ﬂavorings. The brewery lineup includes six year-round styles, two rotating seasonal taps and occasional small batch offerings. This spring, the Library plans to bring back the infamous Peanut Butter Ale, as well as the Equinox Session Pale Ale and Grapefruit IPA. If you’re in Laramie, be sure to swing by the Library, a place working to ensure honesty for moms everywhere — one beer at a time.

Ten Sleep Brewing Ever been in a brewery located in a barn at the base of a cliff? Unless you’ve been to Ten Sleep Brewing Company, the answer to that question is undoubtedly “no.” Ten Sleep Brewing Company was established in 2013, located 1 mile west of Ten Sleep, Wyoming, population 257. The facility features a seven-barrel stainless steel brew house in a rural setting, complete with chickens pecking at spent grain, brew cats snoozing or a herd of deer headed to dinner. It is a barn, after all. Aside from the brew pub, Ten Sleep’s signature beers — including Speed Goat Golden Ale, Pack Saddle Porter and Huck n’ Tuck Wheat — are available at numerous locations throughout Wyoming.

NEW CLOTHING LINE CALLED

Public Rec A

successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign was quite the jumpstart for Public Rec, a

Chicago-based apparel company for menswear. The strong wave of support that launched the

company illustrated a need for casual, comfortable activewear for men. The market was ready

for Zach Goldsteinâ€™s apparel and responded by raising more than six times the goal for the Kickstarter campaign. Following the end of the campaign in July 2015, Public Rec shipped the first pants out in December, and they continue to carry a variety of sizes in three colors on their website.
