10 Best Breweries in Wyoming with 30 Beers Worth Trying
Wyoming’s brewery scene is spread across mountain gateways, college-town streets and smaller communities where the brewery can be a destination of its own. Jackson and Alpine supply major hop names, but Sheridan, Ten Sleep, Pinedale, Lander, Casper and Laramie deserve room on the map. These ten picks offer thirty specific beers, from light lager to rye ale and nitro stout.
These ten HBA editorial picks balance distinctive beer, style variety and regional coverage. Brewery numbers organize the guide; the thirty beer-card numbers are reading order, not a separate statewide beer ranking.
Beer portfolios and brewery menus were reviewed in October 2026. Rotating and seasonal beers may be between releases; check the current venue, taps and package stock before visiting. Food pairings are suggestions for your own tasting.

1. Snake River Brewing
Snake River is the Jackson starting point for a flight with real contrast. Pako’s IPA, Jenny Lake Lager and Nitro Zonker cover hop aroma, amber malt and roast without requiring three variations on one style.
