Discover the brewing history of the Oil City!

Casper has jumped on the hometown brew scene a bit late (twice). The city's first brewery, Casper Brewing Company, did not open until 1914, just five years before the state enacted Prohibition. It struggled to survive during Wyoming's dry years and World War II before eventually ceasing. The city did not have a brewhouse until 2017 when Frontier Brewing Company opened. Now, visitors can drink at five different facilities that are creating some passionate local beer for the high plains town.

Suggested beers when visiting: Double Clutch Oatmeal Stout (Gruner Brothers) and Severance Pale Ale (Oil City).
