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.

Growler style bought at Liquor Shed for $10.99
It pours a clear reddish dark brown with a small and short lived head of foam. From that, I reckoned that there would be minimal to no lacing...yep. Still, the colour is gorgeous.
A mixed bag of aromas here; some lovely sweetness that is maple syrup like with some chocolate. Some light spice of clove, got a mild banana smell from it. Belgian yeast working its wonders.
Sweet up front, again reminding me of maple syrup, but there’s a solid chocolate presence as well and takes over that aspect of the beer. Spice is clove mainly, but something else, perhaps nutmeg, is there with hints of dark fruits but more so of bananas. Pretty smooth overall.
Medium bodied with the carbonation on the light side.
I couldn’t find any info on this beer other than a few check ins at another site so I posted a question aboot it on Lander"s Facebook page. Here’s what they replied with:
"Light brown ale with hints of cocoa and caramel malt. Mild banana esters with clove and nutmeg-like phenols from a classic Trappist yeast strain. 6.67 ABV"
Bottom line, a well crafted Abbey Dubbel.

A small, dense, white head sits on top of a hazy yellow-golden body. Quite a lot of micro-micro-floaties. The aroma is rather weak, with some pale malts and a fruity touch. Rather weak and uninspired flavor too, but at least there’s some bitterness. Medium body and a soft carbonation, quite dry. Long, fruity finish. A rather boring one, but it’s quenching and easy drinkable. 150227

I enjoyed a pint at The Lander Bar..they gave it the name of Down & Out Stout.
A true pitch black pour, it had a 1/2" of tan foam with plenty of lacing. A great looking Stout.
The smell was roasty, had some dark chocolate bitterness, and a light touch of coffee. A good and spot on nose for the style.
The taste did not disappoint. Roasted malt and dark chocolate dominated with some coffee notes peaking in and out. This is a full flavoured Stout and it had the dryness needed for the style and that pleased me greatly. A delicious brew!
A nice thickish body with medium carbonation kept things going in the right direction.
Drinkability? If you love the style, you’ll find, like I did, that this is very drinkable. A super good offering from Lander Brewing!

$5 for the Howler at Liquor Shed.
A- it pours a clear brown with close to a 1 finger head of foam and has some nice lacing.
S- rich notes of roasted and dark chocolate malt in the nose. Nothing really on the bitter side; appropriate for the style.
T- chocolate and roasted malt on the front end with light caramel sweetness. It gets somewhat hoppy on the back end but not enough to put it on the American Brown Ale side of the style.
M- this has a GREAT mouthfeel. Medium bodied, same for carbonation. Maybe the best attribute of this Lander offering.
O- a pretty darned good English Style Brown Ale here. Thanks go out to Liquor Shed for the opportunity to try it!

This is an American Pale Ale, not an IPA. That would be On Belay. Pretty good.
