Brewer's Background:

Founded in 1994 by Albert and Joni Upsher, Snake River Brewing became Wyoming’s first brewpub and quickly established itself as a cornerstone of Jackson Hole’s community. Housed in a repurposed Coca-Cola distributor’s building, the brewery was designed to be open, unpretentious, and welcoming, drawing guests into the brewing process itself. Today, under local family ownership, Snake River Brewing continues to honor its mission of creating not just another beer, but a better beer, crafted with quality, substance, and a sense of place that reflects the rugged beauty of the Tetons.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed at 6–8°C, Snake River Pale Ale is a versatile beer that pairs perfectly with pub classics like wood-fired pizza, burgers, or fish and chips. It also shines alongside grilled meats, sharp cheeses, and outdoor adventures, whether après-ski, after a hike, or simply relaxing with friends.

Snake River Brewing Pale Ale is more than a refreshing mountain beer; it’s a taste of Wyoming’s pioneering craft spirit, brewed for those who thirst for quality and adventure alike.
