Snake River Brewing Co.
Brewpub
in Jackson,

United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Snake River Brewing Co.
Established in 1994
Albert and Joni Upsher opened Snake River Brewing in 1994. As a former Anheuser Busch distributor in McMinville, Oregon Albert knew the beer business. He took notice of the expanding microbrewery scene in Oregon and decided to open a brewery in his favorite ski town, Jackson Wyoming! Snake River Brewing started as a family owned business, and in 2008 a local family took over the ownership of the brewpub.
Our beginning seemed pretty simple. We bought an old cinder block building that was previously the base of operations for a Coca-Cola distributor. It seemed to be the perfect spot for Wyoming’s first brewpub. We wanted an open industrial look, with lots of light and exposed steel beams. The brewing equipment and wood burning oven would be our artwork.
The concept was to create a restaurant and brewing space that was open to our customers, to draw guests into the process of making beer. We wanted a simple and unpretentious neighborhood watering hole for locals to gather and Jackson Hole tourists to taste beer from the Great State of Wyoming. From the beginning we were determined to create a brewpub building that was both excellent in style architecturally and offered excellent food and beer. We felt strongly about the quality of workmanship in the restaurant, from its beautiful windows and ceiling to its mahogany curved bar.
We decided to plan for quality, substance and longevity. We knew that Jackson Hole’s citizens would judge us on the quality of our beers and food. Our mission statement became- “The world doesn’t need another beer, but a better beer!”

Best by 09 18 11, from the new cans which just arrived in town.
A medium golden colour, lots of foam, ditto for the lacing.
Citrus and pine dominate the smell...suggesting some pretty strong bitter notes when it comes to the taste.
Yeah, it does lean towards the bitter side. Grapefruit with some notes of pine bring plenty of the bitter, the malt, from what I can tell, brings a light, very light bit of sweetness that doesn’t really bring any balance but..what the hops are doing is working for me for this American IPA. I’ve been enjoying the beer on draught lately, and in the past, at the Old Chicago in town and the beer in the can does not disappoint at all. A very well done and easy drinking IPA. I give it a firm thumbs up for the draught and in the can.

Yellowstone trip. Amber in color with a two-finger head. Aroma was malty with hints of caramel. Taste was also malty with hints of caramel and a smegin of tree nuts.

Ahhh...a home grown product. Thank goodness
I get this one all the time. Snake River does have
some fine brews...I do miss the Draft Lager that was
around a couple of years ago.

A little more hops than a true Vienna might want to offer, but it drinks well for me as I like a hoppy lager anyway. Nice beer.

It’s bitter. It’s not good.

It’s not bad, it’s hard to make a bad New England but it’s just unremarkable.
It’s been the best of the bunch. And that is because I’m probably throwing favouritism towards hefts.
It’s a run of the mill.
