Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Snake River Brewing Company

Left Salt Lake City heading to Yellowstone National Park this morning. Took 89 up thru the the canyons and traveling thru many National National parks, very beautiful scenery, stopped at Bear Lake in Utah, went thru Idaho and wound up in Wyoming. Hit some pretty hard rain thru out the day, a 6 hour ride to Yellowstone, according to GPS was wrong. It was like 6-7 hours just to Jackson Hole Wyoming with another 1 1/2-2 hours to Yellowstone.

When we reached Jackson Hole, we changed plans and decided to grab a room instead of getting to the camp site in the dark and probably wet. Found a small hotel that didn't cost me an arm and a leg, just the leg but thats ok i have another one and, what else, found the local brewpub.

IPA and Hefeweizen

Left the car at the hotel, drinking and walking tonite, Snake River Brewing Company, right down the street from the hotel, grabbed some beer, their Pakos IPA, Hoback Hefeweizen, Black Diamond Tripel and 8.4% belgian ale and Slow Guy a belgian single. Food was good, pulled pork, brisket, buffalo chili, trout. I got them to put the White Sox on the tv because my little guy is a huge fan, they were cool and took care of us.

We walked around Jackson and i was a little disappointed, it was a cool looking western town with the town square and the antlered entrances but there were so many t shirt shops and other touristy places, in the west they have touristy cowboy boot and hat stores, i could have been at the Jersey Shore.

At one point we moseyed in to the Million Dollar Cowboy bar to grab a drink and wound up paying a cover to hear some band that was having some sound issues, too much bass. It was a cool place, a bunch of pool tables, three bars with saddles as bar stools for the cowboys in all of us. Went to the bar and ordered, no not sangria, but what else, whiskey and beers. This is a cowboy bar and you drink like a cowboy here. stayed for a bit and then headed back to sleep

Whiskey, which i already drank and local beer
