Snake River Brewing
Snake River Brewing was founded in 1994 by Albert and Joni Upsher in Jackson, Wyoming, making it Wyoming's oldest brewpub. Albert, a former Anheuser-Busch distributor in McMinnville, Oregon, was inspired by the expanding microbrewery scene in Oregon and chose Jackson as the location. The Upshers converted an old Coca-Cola distribution warehouse into a brewpub with an open industrial aesthetic, featuring exposed steel beams and a wood-burning oven. The brewery changed hands in 2008 when a local family took over ownership, and as of 2024 it remains the oldest of Wyoming's craft breweries.

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.
Pako's IPA
Their beers place in the Top 19% of the catalogue on average, across 3 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
