Altitude Chophouse and Brewery

October 10, 2007
Stopped on our way to California. This was our second choice but should have been our first. A very nice atmosphere and a bartender that was interested in us and knowledgeable about beer. An exceptionable assortment of brews, including five or six seasonables. The sampler was very impressive served in 7 ounce pilsners. While not normally a fan of fruity beers the Solar Weizen was outstanding. You could put it on your Cherios in the morning and forget the bananas! This is the ONLY place to go in Laramie. Unfortunately ate at the other place and did not get to sample the food, but what I saw looked appetizing. Check out the pull handles of the taps they are unique

Loved the Varathaned log bar stools. We were traveling through town and decided to stop in for a "sampler" during the mid-day rush. Considering the popularity of this brewpub and the road construction outside, our visit was very enjoyable by the brewpub staff.

This is definitely not a place that I would seek out again. The only thing going for them here is the oustanding number of beers and beer styles that they offer, but they are in a town where it is fallen on deaf ears or palates as it may be. The service is terrible and I do not think that anyone in Wyoming has ever seen anyone with a mohawk. Beers were decent, and the food is well portioned, but slightly overpriced. The table side manner is non chalant at best. But when it is the only place in town, skip it and go over to the library.

I have really tried to like this establishment, but I can’t help myself. They make a respectable number of micros, but that’s about all I can say nice about them. Everything else is pretty flat average. The quality of the beers on the other hand leaves more than a little to be desired, with maybe one or two of their ten-twelve menu beers being worth smelling, let alone imbibing. The 7200 Stout is hit or miss depending on the brewmaster’s marital problems (or so the staff have told me). I’ve now missed more than I’ve hit, and this being the best brew in the house, it’s hardly worth another visit for me. If you’re in Laramie and want to try some good local brews, stop by my house as I keep them all on hand. I really want Altitude to succeed, but I think the marginal success that they have enjoyed so far is based mostly on their novelty in town, not the quality of their fare.

Looks like a resort town restaurant but the prices do not really reflect that. The beers were slightly above average with a few seasonals also. The staff was pleasant and the food average. Worth the stop if you find yourself in the area.

Yuppie alert. Seemed like a Rock Bottom brewery... lots of dining tables, small bar, but it wasn’t that crowded on a weekend afternoon, and the beer was ok. Good seasonal, and a decent stout. Had some nachos at the bar, and the other food I saw on the menu didn’t look too interesting, regular fare. Better beer than The Library, if you have to choose one place to stop.
