6 breweries to check out

at Wyo. Brewers Fest B2

Wyoming Brewers Festival turns 21

Nearly 30 breweries will be on tap this
year, with 13 calling Wyoming home.

The Wyoming Brewers Festival

is finally legal!
This is the 21st year of the annual
beer festival, and the organizers
are looking to provide more variety
in the brews being served than
ever before.
The festival, which also serves as
a fundraiser for the Cheyenne
Depot, will descend on the Depot
Plaza next weekend. Anyone interested in purchasing tickets is encouraged to buy them online, in
order to get a discounted price,
public relations co-chair Jim Walter said.
In the two decades since the festivals inception, it has managed
to raise over $250,000, all of
which goes back to the depots
restoration.
Of the nearly 30 breweries on tap
at this years festival, 13 are Wyoming-based. These breweries include Cheyennes Danielmarks
Brewery, Laramies Coal Creek
Tap and Sheridans Black Tooth
Brewing.
Nine brewers from Colorado will
also be featured at the festival, including Boulders Upslope Brewing Company and Lovelands Crow
Hop Brewing.

the Depot Plaza and try to introduce them to a new audience,

Walter said.
Besides requiring the companies
involved to be considered a craft
brewer, Walter said the staff wants
to offer regional breweries that people can check out and still be able to
drive to if they enjoy the beer. If certain breweries arent based in Wyoming or Colorado, they are usually
distributing in the area, such as
Sockeye Brewing, which based out
of Idaho.
The large tent that held the festival attendees has been eliminated
this year, Walter noted. Each brewer will be separated by using their
own tents, bringing a more open
aesthetic.
Other than the beer, various food

Bill and Kari Gifford of Harrisburg, Neb., tip back their glasses as they try some beer during the 19th annual Wyoming
Brewers Festival in 2014 at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza. More than 80 beers from 30 breweries from around the nation
took part in the event. Blaine McCartney/Wyoming Tribune Eagle
trucks will be on hand during the
festival, including On the Hook Fish
and Chips and Chicago Dog.
The festival will again offer the
Safe Ride Home option for those
who need a designated driver after
the event.
For this years event, Walter said
the staff tried to include more variety with the beers, asking the brewers to bring along different styles.

The staff surveyed attendees last

year, and the request for more beer
styles was the biggest note.
Walter said he feels craft beer has
become so popular over the past decade because brewers have been
able to experiment with their beer
and create different and interesting
flavors.
The American beer drinker has
decided they like flavor in their

beer, he said. It ties in with an explosion in farmers markets and artisan crafters. People like to be able to
talk to the person who makes their
food, beer or art. It goes along with
that buy local, supporting small
businesses mentality.

craft beer is available in modern Cheyenne
than ever before. That trend is tied to a
growing demand for the product in the
community and in Wyoming.

indicative of a building demand in

Cheyenne for craft beer, which has
gone from one to three breweries in a
few short months.
Freedoms Edge Brewing, now on
Pioneer Avenue, opened in 2012, while
Danielmarks Brewing Co. opened in
April on 18th Street. Just last week, Accomplice Beer Co. opened in the Cheyenne Depot, and while the newest
brewery wont have its own in-house
brews until its federal license is approved, the establishment is serving
craft beer from around the region.
Adam Niebling, a co-owner at Freedoms Edge, said patronage in Cheyenne has been healthy since the
brewery opened.
When we just started, we were told
we werent even going to last a year
because its a Bud Light town, he
said. Now, weve been going four

years strong.
As the brewery scene grows here,
local beer distributors have been
partnering with city bars and liquor
stores to promote new craft breweries
as their products arrive in the Cheyenne market.
Kyle Doyle, an area business manager and craft beer specialist for
Teton Distributors, said hes seen a
growing interest in craft beer in the
few years hes been on the job.
A Cheyenne native, Doyles love for
craft beer budded when he visited different cities while working on the
monster truck circuit.
But coming home didnt always provide what his taste buds preferred.
I was always bummed at the selection here, he said. The waves of craft
beer werent even lapping at the
shores of Wyoming.
In fact, in years past, a few craft
breweries ended up pulling product
out of the state after low interest.
Thats all changed.
After taking a job with Teton Distributing, Doyle was able to see firsthand how craft beer is affecting the
local beer market. He said hes had
double-digit growth in his craft beer

LOVE

the live

portfolio for two years running.

Part of the growth could be attributed to Cheyenne being part of the Front
Range and close to Fort Collins, sometimes nicknamed the Napa Valley of
Beer. With that, Cheyenne residents
have easy access to legions of breweries and often want those products
available closer to home, Doyle said.
Wyoming ranks seventh in the U.S.
for breweries per 100,000 adults, according to 2015 statistics from the national Brewers Association.
That figure is based on 23 operating
breweries in 2015, though the Brewers Association now lists 33 breweries
in operation or in planning stages
across the state.
Craft breweries had an estimated
$150 million economic impact in Wyoming in 2014, and while thats the
smallest impact among the states, its
11th in terms of economic impact per
capita.
At Melvin Brewing in Alpine, Wyoming, co-founder Jeremy Tofte said
hes seen a major change in Wyoming
beer drinkers since the brewery started in 2009.

Brewing Co.

By Josh Rhoten

Wyoming Tribune Eagle

Looking at the lineup of breweries this year and feeling a little overwhelmed? Here are the six breweries you
have to sample at this years Wyoming Brewers Festival:

Home base: 508 Eighth Ave.,

Greeley, Colorado
Website: www.weldwerks
brewing.com

WYOld West Brewing

About: Founded in 2014,

Weldwerks has quickly made
an impression on the
Colorado brewing scene. In their short career, they have already won
several prestigious awards including a bronze at the 2016 World
Beer Cup for Puesta Del Sol (a Vienna lager) and silver at the 2015
Great American Beer Festival for their hefeweizen. Beyond that, they
were voted best new brewery in a USA Today readers choice survey.

Home base: 221 N. Bent St., Powell

Website: www.facebook.com/
WYOldWest

malts and hops.

Melvin Brewing

Wiley Roots Brewing Co.

Home base: 624 County Road 101,

Alpine, Wyoming

Home base: 625 Third St., Greeley,

Colorado

Website: www.melvinbrewing.com
About: Melvin Brewing doesnt
have the long standing success of
some of the other breweries in
Wyoming, but the upstart brewery
from Jackson is quickly becoming a
household name across the nation. Known primarily for their hop
forward beers and irreverent attitude, the brewery recently started
distributing their beer across the U.S. through bottles, cans and draft.
Thats a good thing since the brewery has been honored with gold
several times at the Great American Beer Festival and won the Small
Brewpub of the year award from that contest in 2015.

Website: www.wileyroots.com
About: Wiley Roots Brewing Co. is a small
outfit compared to some of the other
entries to the festival, but they arent
outclassed when it comes to honors. The
Greeley-based brewery was awarded Gold
and Bronze medals at the Great American
Beer Festival in 2015 and 2013 for their Super 77 Wheat beer. Look
for their special Wyoming Brewers Festival collaboration beer this
year as well.

Sockeye Brewing
Home base: 3019 N. Cole Road, Boise,
Idaho
Website: www.sockeyebrew.com
About: Sockeye Brewing is the latest
craft beer company to start distributing
in Cheyenne. The brewery was founded in
1996 by an Idaho native and river guide
who navigated the Middle Fork of the
Salmon River with his familys outfitter
business. They were the states first and
now largest canning operation. Recent awards come from the Great
American Beer Festival where they won bronze for their Power
House Porter in 2014 and six medals from the 2015 North American
Brewers Association competition including gold for their Gin Barrel
Aged Dagger Falls IPA.

One Eyed Buffalo Brewing

Home base: 528 Broadway St.,
Thermopolis
Website: www.oneeyedbuffalo.com
About: One of Wyomings newest
breweries, One Eyed Buffalo was

Sigman started the day last
week by preparing the
equipment he will use. The
most important thing during
the brewing process is the
temperature of the water
being used, he said.
As the water heated up,
Sigman checked the temperature with two thermometers. Once the water hit
around 160 degrees, he
transferred the water using a
pump from the heating container to another container.
Sigman then added three

pale ale malt, wheat malt and
pilsner malt to the batch.
He mixed them together and
then added a small amount of
calcium chloride.
Its like eating a steak

The grains were then left
in the hot water for the next
45 minutes. They soaked together to create wort, a sugary water at the bottom of the
container.

Mexico exporting more organic produce

Mexico announced that their agricultural exports now surpass the value of oil
exports to the USA as well as overall tourism income. Mexico used to have a
very traditional agricultural industry, but now it has gone
high tech, big scale and includes a substantial amount of
organic produce. One Mexican official stated We plan to
be the 10th largest food producer in the world in the
next 10 years.

Pioneer: Craft beer was

everywhere in the west
Continued from B2

Sigman said his love for brewing

started when he moved to Jackson
Hole, Wyoming after graduating
from Siena College.
I lived there for seven years, it
was a lot of fun, lots of skiing, lots of
outdoor stuff, Sigman said. I
worked as little as possible, I learned
how to home brew while I was
there.
Sigman said the western United
States was into craft beer years before the East Coast caught up.
A brewery, that is still open
there, opened up in 1994, he said. I
volunteered there a little. I visited
other breweries while I traveled
around the west.
After more traveling and a stop in
Denver for some time, Sigman returned to his home state of Connecticut and noticed how craft beer in
the state was behind what he was
used to.
Craft beer was everywhere when
I would go out west in 1992 or 1993,
because the craft beer scene was so
far ahead, Sigman said.
In 2011, he decided to start his own
brewery.
I was really disappointed with
not having a local brewery to go to,
he said. I started a plan to eventually open up.
He had a few hoops to jump
through, including getting Plainville to change laws to allow a brewery. After about a year, Relic
Brewery opened its doors in 2012.
We got way too much attention,
like so much attention from maga-

zines, papers and online, Sigman

said of when the brewery opened.
The beginning was rough, but it
was rough because we had no idea
what we were doing at all. I knew
how to make beer, but I really wasnt
super comfortable with the new
equipment, there were a lot of misses where I had to throw away the
whole batch.
Now Sigman said he rarely throws
out a batch.
After the grains soaked together,
the Landline Batch he started making last week was coming together.
Using a tube he connected to the
container, the wort was recirculated
back to the top. Sigman said the wort
provides sugar for the yeast to eat
when it is added.
In total, he boiled 63 gallons of
water mixed with the grains. After
the boiling process, Sigman immediately added hops before he hooked
up a transfer system, moving the
contents of the batch to a fermenter.
The transfer to the fermenter took
another hour, and while the mixture
was transferred it was flash-cooled
from 200 degrees to 65 degrees.
Once the mixture was is in the fermenter, Sigman added yeast and
sealed the container.
After around two weeks of fermentation the beer is ready to be
kegged.
Once all the beer is kegged, Sigman said, it is ready to be carbonated
by adding a priming solution. The
batch is then conditioned for another two weeks before it is ready to
serve.

Culture: Beer drinkers

more savvy, brewer says
Continued from B1

Kegs and cans of

their hoppy beers recently hit Cheyenne
and major markets
across the U.S. like Seattle and Denver.
When we first started, a lot of people
thought something was
wrong with our beer,
he said.
But, he said, Ive noticed this changed in
the last few years, year
to year. Beer drinkers
are more savvy.
Melvin has become
one of the largest breweries in the state, and
their brews have been
racking up awards at
beer competitions
across the country, including the prestigious
Great American Beer
Festival.
Melvin Brewing representatives have been
known to wear shirts
that read, Nobody
cares about Wyoming
at beer festivals. The
point, Tofte said, is to
start a conversation
with patrons about Wyoming beer and what
the states breweries
have to offer.

Derek Groom drinks his beer at the bar of Danielmarks Brewing Company on Thursday afternoon in downtown Cheyenne. Blaine McCartney/Wyoming Tribune Eagle
Tofte had high praise
for Wyomings current
brewery network and
said brewers work together well.
We all get along and
help each other out, he
said.
That sentiment is reflected in Cheyenne as
well, with Daniel-

marks and Accomplice Beer Co. planning

a collaboration beer
this year.
Theres even a growing camaraderie
among craft beer
drinkers and homebrewers in Cheyenne,
Doyle said.
I have the best

group of drinking buddies in town, and its

every craft beer drinker, he said.
