Annually one of my favorite events in Jackson Hole, the Old West Brewfest will quickly help your forget about your Winefest hangover as regional breweries serve up their finest brews starting at 11am on the Town Square. The breweries will compete for your vote to win the coveted Golden Boot trophy as the favorite brewery of the year. Since the weather is looking rather dicey for Saturday, you will be gald that the huge white tent is set up to keep you dry as you taste a variety of styles of beers from some of the best breweries in the country. They way it typically works: buy tokens at buck a piece, 1 token gets you a sample size, 3 tokens gets you a full glass. Most of the folks working for the breweries pouring the samples are pretty generous, so you will probably get a couple free pours as well.
Breweries sure to be there:
- Snake River Brewing, Jackson WY
- Grand Teton Brewing, Victor ID
- Thai Me Up Nanobrewery, Jackson WY
- Wind River Brewing, Pinedale, WY
