Melvin Brewing was founded in 2009 by Jeremy Tofte, who began brewing on a 20-gallon system in the back of the Thai Me Up restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming. The brewery won Small Brewpub of the Year at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival, which helped fuel its expansion. Melvin Brewing faced financial difficulties and was sold to Roadhouse Brewery Group in late 2022, which now operates the brand from its flagship 'Mothership' taproom in Alpine, Wyoming. As of mid-2026, the Alpine location remains open and operating.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
