From crisp lagers to robust stouts, their ever-changing lineup offers something for every palate. The cozy and rustic atmosphere of the brewery’s taproom invites visitors to kick back and enjoy a pint while savoring the flavors of the West. I don’t usually pick favorites, but not only did I taste some of the best beer here, I found out it’s owned by a former co-worker of my husband’s back in San Antonio.
Pat O’Hara Brewing Company
Nestled against the backdrop of the stunning Absaroka Mountains, Pat O’Hara Brewing Company is a true gem in Cody’s brewery scene. Named after a local legend, this brewery not only offers a wide range of beers but also provides traditional Irish PubItse. Its breathtaking views from its outdoor seating area are some of the best in town. Whether you’re a fan of hop-forward IPAs or prefer a smoother cream ale, Pat O’Hara’s dedication to quality brewing is evident in every sip. Wyoming’s first all-women-owned and operated brewery serves great beer and really good food.

This stop was definitely a highlight of our visit. The WYOld West Taproom has a different dining atmosphere. Their tasting room allows you to pour your own beer. I found the best IPA I’ve ever tasted here. The food selection is definitely high-end, and you really feel the community of Cody at this location.

Other Options on The Sippen Trail
A Few other options on the Sippen Trail will bring you to some of my favorite Cody hot spots. Like the Chamberlin Inn, and the Irma Hotel. Both have a lot of Cody Wyoming history, and both offer beer, cocktails, and food options. The Chamberlin Inn is one of my favorite spots to grab a cocktail and get inspired. Another great location is The Irma Hotel, It’s the first hotel in Cody, formerly owned by Buffalo Bill himself. There is a historical restaurant inside where you can see a bar donated by the Queen of England. Grab a seat at a picnic table outside for the Old West show. Gunslingers put on a show that makes you feel like you stepped back in time.
