Beer River Shorts
Description: Powder River, Wyoming is little more than a ghost town these days, but it used to have two restaurants, a motel, and a gas station, supporting not just locals and travelers along the U.S. 20 highway, but also the Standard Oil refinery. Now all that remains is an elementary school, a post office and a handful of very rural residences. One of those restaurants was the Tumble Inn, a roadhouse in every sense of the word. The log cabin housing the Tumble Inn was moved to Powder River from Ten Sleep, Wyoming, in 1923 and operated as several businesses before the Tumble Inn took up residence in 1942. With a full bar and kitchen, the Inn kept passersby happy for decades, but after the refinery closed, things slowed and topless dancers were added.
Description: A humorous graphic featuring a grey rat wearing sunglasses, lounging in blue water. The rat holds a cardboard box filled with cans of a beverage. Several loose cans are scattered around the water. The words "RIVER" and "RAT" are displayed prominently above and below the central figure.
Description: The Sweet Water Brewing Company, opened in 1872 as the Green River Brewery, one of the first in the Wyoming Territory. Hugo Gaensslen purchased the brewery in 1892 and continued to operate it until 1899, when he leveled the structures. Leaning on architectural inspiration from his native Germany, as well as the Chicago Water Tower from the neighborhood he originally immigrated to, he built his modern new brewery with local sandstone blocks and reopened as the Sweet Water Brewing Company. In 1904 and 1905, the brewery won medals at the World’s Fair, and Sweet Water's beers were increasingly in demand. When Prohibition went into effect, Sweet Water did what many breweries did to stay afloat and produced non-alcoholic beverages.
