Melvin Brewing: Craftsmanship Rooted in Wyoming’s Beauty
Melvin Brewing is a beacon of creativity and excellence in the craft beer world, with a history deeply connected to the scenic landscapes of Wyoming. Established in 2009 by Jeremy Tofte and Kirk McHale, the brewery began in humble quarters—a small Thai restaurant kitchen in Jackson, Wyoming. Utilizing a modest 3-barrel system, they focused on producing distinct and adventurous beers that quickly garnered a dedicated following.
The brewery’s reputation for quality and innovation led to the opening of a larger facility in Alpine, Wyoming, in 2016. This move allowed Melvin Brewing to increase its production capacity and expand its audience. Alpine, situated in the picturesque Star Valley, is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, including the Snake River and the towering Rocky Mountains.
Alpine’s community is known for its love of the outdoors, with popular activities like hiking, fishing, and skiing. This vibrant environment complements Melvin Brewing’s adventurous spirit. The brewery has become a community cornerstone, hosting events and festivals that celebrate both their craft and the local culture.
Among Melvin Brewing’s impressive lineup is the PilsGNAR, a pilsner that exemplifies their blend of tradition and innovation. This beer is crisp and refreshing, featuring unique hop varieties that set it apart from typical pilsners. PilsGNAR has earned a place in the hearts of beer lovers who enjoy a finely crafted brew with a modern twist.
From its origins as a small brewpub to its status as a prominent name in craft brewing, Melvin Brewing’s journey reflects their unwavering passion and commitment. Deeply embedded in the stunning Wyoming landscape, they continue to push the boundaries of brewing, creating exceptional beers that echo the adventurous spirit of their beginnings.
