Every traveler knows the secret to instantly improving your visit to a new place is finding the best local spots to eat and drink. Rest assured. WeKnowWyo is here to help you find the best LOCAL places to eat and drink in Wyoming. We are kicking off this feature category with a spotlight on Gruner Brothers Brewing.

Local Wyomingites, Ben and Daron Gruner created a beautiful tasting room for visitors to enjoy award winning craft beer. The tap room and newly completed elevated patio offer unobstructed views of Casper Mountain and the North Platte River. The brewery is also on-site and is open for tours. Call ahead to make arrangements for a tour – 307-439-2222.

The brewery’s unique logo is an item of interest. The featured Chevy was purchased new in 1927 by Sonya Gruner’s family. It was used as the daily ranch truck for everything from hauling grain to hauling turkeys. A photo of the truck—now featured in the taproom, was taken at the family ranch near Beulah, WY in 1940. The highlight is trusted ranch dog, Spark, standing atop the pickup. Now 90 years later, two brothers and great beer have given a new life to the old truck, which has been fully restored and can also be found at the brewery.

Hungry? Don’t fret. Nothing beats a craft beer paired with a scratch-made pizza or jumbo wings. When you visit the Gruner Brothers Brewing taproom, you can sample local beers, AND order a Chicago-style or Detroit-style pizza from the in-house restaurant, Ludovico. Also owned and operated by a local family, Ludovico is a perfect accompaniment to the beer menu found at Gruner Brothers.

Whether you’re a Casper, WY resident or just passing through, visiting the local taproom and restaurant is an excellent choice for dining locally. Show the photo below and receive 15% off your total bill! Offer expires 09/30/2021, so make your visit soon!
