Wildlife Brewing Co. -- Victor, ID

Now that Kiki and I are back from our epic post bar exam road trip I have time to catch up blogging on the beer adventures we had.  When we went to Grand Teton Brewing we were hoping that we could get dinner too.  Unfortunately for us, all their tap room had for food was free popcorn.  After Grand Teton Brewing we were searching for grub.  Victor, Idaho doesn't exactly have a huge selection to meet your dining needs, but it does have Wildlife Brewing Company which offers salads, pub food, and really good pizza.

I was looking at their beer list and was only interested in trying a couple since we had just done the full round of sampling down the street.  The waiter was nice enough to give me FREE four ounce samplers of the Mighty Bison Brown Ale and the Trophy Trout Stout. 

The Mighty Bison Brown Ale is very chocolaty, malty, and spicy.  It has a full body and overall is an easy drinking brown.  Kiki likes that its pretty mild.

The Trophy Trout Stout was my favorite of the two.  Again, this beer had chocolate flavor, but with a little bit of coffee flavor mixed in.  The color was very dark and it tasted malty and had just enough linger to not be over the top.  Kiki said it tasted like a shake to her and she thought it would pair well with ice cream.  I was appreciative of the free samples so I ordered a whole pint of the stout.

If you're wondering what the Grand Tetons look like from the backside, this is what they look like poking over the mountains in Victor, Idaho.

The drive from Victor, Idaho to Jackson, Wyoming only takes about a half hour.  Hotels in Driggs, Idaho are about a third to half the price of hotels in Jackson, plus the breweries are on the Idaho side.  The drive to Jackson is really pretty the whole way.

If you're in Driggs or Victor you would be stupid not to make the trek over to see Grand Teton National Park.  If you're in Grand Teton National Park you might as well make the trek to check out the local brews.  To be honest with you, the two beers I had at Wildlife Brewing I liked better than half the beers I tried at Grand Teton.  In other words, even though Grand Teton Brewing is more well known don't forget to check out Wildlife Brewing while you're in the neighborhood.
