Today, we're excited to be releasing the Official Beer of Park County's celebration of America's 250th Anniversary, Two Fifty Pale.

Brewed right here in Cody, this American Pale Ale was made to celebrate a big moment—our country’s 250th anniversary. It’s a nod to the bold, independent spirit that helped shape the nation and still runs deep in the West today. With a blend of premium malts and hand-picked hops, this brew is crisp, balanced, and built for toasting the past while looking ahead. Inspired by the rugged beauty of places like Yellowstone and the resilience of those who came before us, every sip is a small tribute to 250 years of freedom, progress, and pioneering heart.

Available on tap today at Cody Craft Brewing, you'll soon start to see cans in select locations around Park County. $1 from every pint & 6-pack sold over the next year will be donated toward the Park County 250th celebration next July.
