Snake River Brewing Company - Vienna Style Lager

This amber style Vienna lager is the perfect refreshment to quench your thirst after a day of mountain bike riding or snowboarding in the hills of Wyoming. The Snake River Vienna Style lager has a rich, caramel flavor with a subtle hop aroma. It is brewed with an authentic German yeast strain that adds to the true flavor of this Vienna style lager. Hopped with Washington Perle hops for flavor, German Hallertau and Tettenang for aroma, and six different types of malts, you can bet that this medium-bodied lager will go down smooooooooooth. So sit back and enjoy this Gold Medal winner from the 2000 Great American Beer Festival with your friends or keep it all to yourself and enjoy it while it lasts!

In March of 1994 the Snake River Brewing Co., a.k.a., the Jackson Hole Pub and Brewery, opened its doors and became the first licensed brewpub in the state of Wyoming. The brewery is the brainchild of Al Upsher, a former Wall Street broker, and his wife Joni who had once taught school and worked in public relations. The Snake River Brewing Company just walked away with back-to-back victories at the 2000 and 2001 Great American Beer Festival (GABF). Their Brewmaster, Chris Erickson, was awarded Brewmaster of the Year for Small Breweries for the second straight year! And the Brewery itself was named Small Brewing Company of the Year for it’s second time in a row.

Over the last eight years, Snake River Brewing Company has won 13 Gold and Silver Medals at the GABF – the most of any microbrewery over that period of time! A converted warehouse, the airy pub combines the industrial design of a brewery with the richness of mahogany wood finishes while offering a casual atmosphere and fantastic views of the town ski area. The focal point of the kitchen is a massive wood-burning oven, which has never been turned off since the opening of the brewpub. Fueled by applewood imported by Washington, it is used not only for pizza, but also for smoking meats and vegetables for pasta dishes.
