Jackson, WY – The popular Bikes and Brews festival is set to return on Saturday, August 22, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the Bridger Lawn just outside Jackson Hole Sports. The family‑friendly event combines outdoor recreation with a brewfest, giving locals and visitors a chance to enjoy the area’s natural beauty while sampling a wide selection of craft beers and ciders.
Outdoor Activities
Morning participants can take advantage of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Bike Park, which opens at 10 a.m., and explore the newly‑added Via Ferrata route. Hikers may wander the surrounding trails, while thrill‑seekers can soar with JH Paragliding. Scenic rides on the Bridger and Sweetwater gondolas begin at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., respectively, offering panoramic views of the Teton Range.
Brewfest Details
From 2 p.m. onward, the focus shifts to the Brewfest. Attendees receive a 10‑ounce Jackson Hole YETI Rambler with their ticket and are required to use the mug for all tastings; no additional cups will be provided. Unlimited tastings are offered from a roster of regional breweries, including Roadhouse Brewing Co., Highpoint Cider, Snake River Brewing, Wind River Brewing, Grand Teton Brewing, Odell Brewing Co., Boston Beer Co., and Monster Brewing. All drinks are served in the YETI mug.
Live music will be provided by the Honey Island Swamp Band, a New Orleans‑based group known for blending swampy Louisiana roots, rock, and soul. Their performance will run throughout the afternoon, creating a festive atmosphere for families and friends.
Food, Discounts, and Logistics
Food will be available for purchase from Tin Can Cantina. Ticket holders also enjoy a 40 percent discount on bike clothing and accessories at JH Sports, plus an additional 10 percent off at the Mountain Outlet located upstairs. To collect wristbands, YETI mugs, lift tickets, and bike demos, guests should visit the tent outside Jackson Hole Sports. A separate line will be available for those who pre‑purchased Bikes & Brews tickets.
Attendees are reminded that once the Brewfest begins, bike‑park riding is no longer permitted. Organizers encourage participants to enjoy the mountain activities in the morning and then transition to the afternoon’s music and beer tasting.
Community Impact
The event highlights Jackson’s commitment to promoting outdoor recreation, supporting local businesses, and fostering a family‑oriented atmosphere. By featuring breweries from Jackson Hole and beyond, Bikes and Brews provides a platform for regional producers to reach new customers while reinforcing the town’s reputation as a destination for adventure and hospitality.
