Brew Pub Approves New Mural!

After much deliberation the brew pub has decided on a new design for the lost mural on their North wall. “We just wanted to give back to the community, give back to the locals,” said Director of Brewery Operations Chris Erickson, “Since PBR is such a popular beer in Jackson we thought this might be a good way to apologize for painting over the old Fitzy mural”. Chris went on to say that the art installation will be a rotating piece that pays tribute to other domestic “macro brews”. Budweiser, Coors, and MGD are all slated for future artistic renderings on the pub. When asked if their competitors logos will hurt Snake River’s beer sales Chris went on to say, “I doubt it, everyone knows our beer is far superior. If anything it might cause one of our regulars to try a PBR and realize how good they have it at the Brew Pub.”

A Sad Day for Jackson

Today was a sad day for the town of Jackson. Amidst overpriced McMansions and old west themed hotels that are squeezing the soul out of Jackson, there was an iconic mural that gave some of us a little hope. I really never cared if it drew more customers to my shop, but everytime someone said, “wow, that mural really makes me happy”, or, “wow, I just came back to town and couldn’t believe there was something that cool in Jackson” and, “I was up on Saddle Butte and the most prominate thing I could see was that awesome mural” I felt like we had given something back to the community. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe “it’s just paint” like someone said. Maybe more people hated the murals (that’s right, they are both gone now) than appreciated them. Maybe it’s the fact that no one complained, no one asked for it to be painted over, no one asked Tuttle who painted it, and no one asked us. How bout the time and material it took to paint it over? What’s sustainable about that? If the pub needed a project I bet I could find one for them. Yes, it was the Brew Pubs decision. So if you care that it is gone, let them know about it brewpub@snakeriverbrewing.com , or leave a post here and I’ll be sure to send it along. All I know is that there was some sort of symbolism in the art that is now another blank wall.
