Snake River is in Jackson, WY. It's got a cool sort of industrial vibe inside, which I think is a good setting for a brewery. I tried the sampler which came with a selection of 8 of their beers. The sampler came with a solid selection from a light pilsner to the dark stouts, and lots in between. All the beers were solid; no complaints from me. I didn't try the food.

Snake River is pretty similar to some of the bigger brewpubs like Pyramid or Harpoon. They are always packed, have extensive menus, are in great parts of the country and make some pretty good beer. I believe Snake river makes better beer than the other 2 I mentioned, but their vibe is very similar. The OB=1 is one of my favorite IPAs in the northern rockies and their Pako is kick ass. It's the only game in Jackson as far as breweries go and is worth a visit. But, if in the area, I'd also recommend a drive up to Victor and Grand Teton Brewery. Snake Rive is a great place to get a beer and bite after getting a good day of skiing or hiking in, don't forget about the altitude.

I had a late lunch here with my wife and our 3 year old son last week and drank a flight of their beers to accompany it. I thought their beers ranged from good to exceptional. They had 8 beers on tap, a Kolsch, Hefeweizen, APA, Amber, a lager, a Simcoe-heavy IPA, an organic brown ale, and a stout. Of these, the organic brown ale was probably my least favorite, but I wouldn't say no to any of them again.

The food was also quite good. I had a lunch special BLT on their house-made bread that I enjoyed quite a bit. My wife had a calzone and our son had a cheese pizza, both of which were also excellent.

Service was pretty good and though we didn't sit there, there was a nice outdoor patio on the upper level.

Spent many a day at the Snake River Brewing Co. A great place to meet up with some friends and have a few select beers. It has been a while since I have been there, but the beer selection is pretty standard, the quality makes up for the lack of adventurous spirit. The food is good, solid bar food, never had a bad meal there. It is quite large and has an area where you can hang at the bar and watch the game, or there are more famly friendly seating available as well.

Always a good time.

Snake River is located in downtown Jackson, which is a very busy place. At night the place is very busy.

The beer selection is excellent, 8 items on tap when I was there, the stout and alt beer were both excellent. Also had a dortmunder selection, old ale, organic beer and a few others. Based on the walls, appears they have won a number of awards particularly for their stout.

A definite place to hit while in Jackson.

went to snake river in the summer of 08 with some local friends. my girlfriend used to live in jackson hole and would go there quite often. so i went along and wasn't overly impressed but wasn't let down either. the beer was slightly above average with nothing that made me too excited. the food was good, i had the chili with elk or buffalo (can't remember) and got 2 huge pieces of cornbread. i remember really liking the food choices. the prices were high to me but i think for jackson hole it was actually probably pretty cheap. the waitress was pretty rude and really weird and i'm pretty easy to deal with. i'll go back next time i'm in jackson.

Stopped during our tour of Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Western Montana and Western Wyoming regions. As we visited all the National Parks and Breweries summer 2004. This was a fun place to stop at. We where there during the county fair so they had a band and all sorts of good brews being served. The food was awesome and we had a great time. The service is a bit off due to they are ski bums trying to make a buck and tend not to know manners. We will go again just for the beer and food. They have won tons of awards and are proud of it. They do need to add XXL shirts to there wears. Hey we are beer drinkers and we are big. Small shirts are for light beer drinkers XXL for us big boys that like a good robust brew.

This person needs 3 or more reviews on the site for their scores to start counting.

I visited Snake River Brewing in the summer of 08. There is convenient off street parking. Seating is all non-smoking, with some deck seating available.
Their beer was good without ever being great. I really enjoyed the Zonker Stout and the Lager as well. All of their beers seem to emphasize the malty side of brewing, without a truely hoppy option that I tasted.
Their specialty on the food end seems to be their pizza. Both my wife and I enjoyed the pizzas we had. They tend toward the gourmet side. Not Wolfgang Puck gourmet, but my pizza had apples, bacon, blue cheese, chicken, and a balsemic reduction. You get the picture.
They also had some game dishes on the menu, such as a game chili and game meatballs on pasta. That's typical of Jackson, but probably rare elsewhere.
Finally, this is a rather local hang out. It's off the main strip in Jackson, and I think you would have a hard time finding it unless you were looking for it. The crowd when I was there was young-ish, apparently river guides coming off shifts.
Overall, I enjoyed the place. I've been twice, and I'll go back again for some dishes I missed the first two times.

If you haven't been to Jackson, WY, you're missing out. Yeah, it's trendy and popular with the moneyed, but there is plenty for the rest of us.

The Snake River Brewery guys are active in the beer festivals which tells me they are paying attention to their craft. The beer says so, too. I drink the Snake River Pale Ale, the Jackson's ESB and the New Delhi Frieght Train anytime I'm around.

The pub is small and the menu basic. Don't mess around with the "appetizers" on the menu; go for a wood fired pizza, you'll be glad about that.
