Best Brewery

Gold: Snake River Brewing

Snake River Brewing is Wyoming’s oldest brewery, and has been a favorite watering hole for Jackson locals for over 25 years. The Brewpub (how you’ll hear most locals refer to it) cleans up in the Best of Jackson Hole competition every year—they’ve had 8 wins since 2016 alone. Snake River Brewing produces their award-winning beers in-house while serving up a full menu of locally-sourced food. Thirsty and in the mood for a quick bite? Grab a Scratch Pretzel, which they bake fresh daily, and pair it with their classic Jenny Lake Lager. We’re getting hungry just thinking about it.

The idea for Melvin Brewing originally developed from a desire to bring West Coast-style IPA to the “west coast” of Wyoming (aka Jackson Hole). They now have a large facility in Alpine, Wyoming, that is producing deliciously creative brews for distribution nationwide. They also still serve a wide swath of craft beers with a side of hip-hop and kung-fu at their Jackson location: Thai Me Up.

Roadhouse Brewing Company has grown recently with a new production facility on Gregory Lane in Jackson and a new pub on the Town Square. The Brewery has a 30 barrel brewhouse, canning line, and barrel room, with a small taproom onsite. The Pub & Eatery serves pub fare paired with Roadhouse beers on tap – try the Sacred Creed Saison to quench your summer thirst.
