Wyoming is a state full of drinkers — when you live out on the range, it’s often a part of life. Luckily, there are a variety of wineries, breweries, and distilleries with tasting rooms open to the public for when you want to branch out away from your typical drink. If you enjoy sampling wines, beer, and spirits, you’ll definitely enjoy a visit to Big Lost Meadery in Gillette, where you’ll find something totally unique.
This beautiful, restored building was turned into the first meadery in Wyoming!
People found stagnant honey and water that had fermented, drank it, and were happy to find it had intoxicating properties. Over time, it spread to different cultures and became known as the drink of royalty. Ancient Greeks thought of mead as the drink of the gods. It was popular in Viking cultures, too!
