Brewer's Background:

Founded in 1994 in Jackson Hole, Snake River Brewing proudly holds the title of Wyoming’s first brewpub. Established by Albert and Joni Upsher, the brewery occupies a repurposed Coca-Cola distribution center and was conceived as a space where quality craft beer and food come together in a welcoming, open environment. With a brewing philosophy rooted in craftsmanship and a mission to deliver “a better beer,” Snake River Brewing has become a cornerstone of the local community and a destination for travelers seeking exceptional mountain-made beer.

Brewed with a touch of the Tetons, Pako’s IPA embodies the spirit of the mountain town it calls home—bold, untamed, and proudly independent.
