Jackson Hole Brewing Company was established in 2012 by Matt Jenkins and is now run by his loving family in honor of Matt. Four years ago, Jenkins passed away, and his family decided to move from Seattle to Jackson to carry out his dream of owning his own brewing company. Jackson Hole Brewing Company specializes in unique, creative and craft brews with high quality and local ingredients. J.H.B.C. focuses on values of supporting the community, using local products, reducing the amount of waste, sustainability, and creating exceptional brews.
Jenkins started home brewing and left his recipes for his family to follow. They have tweaked different recipes to create different seasonal and small batch brews but keep the same brewing base as Matt. The J.H.B.C. won Best of Show Beer 2015 at the Old West Brew Fest for Matt’s Wyld Ginger IPA, Jenkin’s original recipe. Charolette, Jenkin’s mother, enjoys word playing on the different names of the beers. Wyld comes from WY for Wyoming and LD for land showcasing that this was Jenkins Wyoming Land inspired beer.
There are currently four craft beers that J.H.B.C. is producing including Matt’s Wyld Ginger IPA, the Static Peak Stout, the Barrel Aged Heritage Ale and the Alpine Dark Ale. There are also seasonal, small-batch brews in the making, including a ginger peach ale (the GPA). None of the brews are very hoppy and are available for keg orders. You can also try the different beers on tap at Pizzeria Caldera and Turpin Meadow Ranch.
