Description
The Lander Brewing Company began brewing beer in the late 1800’s in a small facility just across the Popo Agie River from its current Main Street location. A thriving operation for many years, Lander’s first brewery was forced to cease production due to The Prohibition Act. The brewery was re-established 120 years later and Lander residents and visitors can once again enjoy the delicious taste of fresh, locally made craft beer.
Under the direction of brewmaster David Morton, Lander’s only local brewery has won numerous awards for its craft beers. In 2011 Lander Brewing Company won the coveted Saratoga Steinley Cup, the top award for the best microbrewery in the State of Wyoming. Both The Great American Beer Festival and The North American Brewers Association have bestowed the Lander Brewing Company with abundant medals for several of its beers.
The Lander Brewing Company initially reopened its doors with hopes of bringing craft beer to Cowfish Restaurant and the next door Lander Bar. Over a decade later, the brewery has grown substantially and is now supplying its beer varietals to other restaurant and bar accounts in Lander, as well as in Jackson Hole, Riverton, Casper, Cody, Rock Springs and many other Wyoming locations.
The Lander Brewing Company prides itself on brewing fresh, high quality, “to style” beers using the finest ingredients and techniques. Joining brewmaster David Morton, is brewer Adam Bridgeford. David and Adam's many years of professional brewing expertise in concert with the exceptional water sourced from the Wind River Mountains provide the flavor profile of our many signature beers. You can sample Atlantic City Gold, Jack Mormon Pale Ale, Rockchuck Rye, Half-Tanked Hefeweizen, On Belay IPA and our latest seasonal offerings at the source or at the upcoming Lander Brew Fest.

Served from a $5 Howler.
A- a clear gold colour, small head of foam that quickly shrinks but leaves some lacing behind.
S- Hoppy, grainy, malty. It smells German pilsner like.
T- Initially, some bold hop flavour, bitter but earthy. Good malty backbone with a side order of some grain. Crisp, and pretty clean, I find it refreshing.
M- medium body, lightish carbonation, good mouthfeel.
O- A tasty "local" offering of a German Pils. Thank goodness Liquor Shed does Growlers. This is darn tasty!

A- it pours a dark copper colour, think English Dark Mild/Bitter, with a 1 inch head of foam, and leaves good lacing.
A- nice bitter aroma of grapefruit, more citrus, no sign of any malt sweetening. I’ll go with a pleasant bitterness.
T- not nearly as bitter as the smell. The grapefruitiness is on the mild side, probably tempered by a more than decent malt presence, which I’d call on the caramel sweet side vs bready or toasty.
The more I drink, the more balanced this seems to get and I’m digging it.
P- medium goes for the body and carbonation. Good in this department as well.
O- this is a solid brew from Lander and if you like your IPAs on the more balanced side, I think you’d like this one.
I see a 4 now says "outstanding". Well, I guess this is. I sure enjoyed it.

On tap at the Mountain Brewers Festival 2013. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A sweet fresh nose of perfumy hops and light grain. The flavor comes across as smooth, earthy, honey, light bitter hops. Clean.

On tap at the Mountain Brewers Festival 2013. Pours a dark cloudy brown color with a medium beige head. A big nose of sweet malts with some nuttiness and light coffee. The flavor is smooth, cherry, light toasted malts, nutty, grainy at times. Good.

Hefeweizen meets Bock.
A hazy apricot colour, small head of foam that has some decent lacing. Smells Hefe like with some light cloves and bananas but also earthy, grainy, with a smidgeon of citrus. The more I sip, the more Bock like it gets.
An interesting mix here and easy to drink. Well done Lander Brewing.
Served from a Howler...half Growler.

I originally added this as a Hefeweizen, which it has the character of, but more drinking says it's more of a Bock. Anywho, good stuff.

A- It pours black with a tiny head of foam with very little lacing.
S- I get some notes of Brett but the Barrel aging from the mix of 10lb Brown and Blackout Stout is stronger.
T- Same goes for the taste. Big barrel flavour followed by some Brett, some toasted malt and a mild sweet note or 2.
M- Close to no carbonation, the body is medium, not at all a good mouthfeel.
O- The carbonation, or lack thereof, really hurts or I’d say the Brett could develop over time with some cellaring. Still, hardly a drain pour.
