say you had your morning coffee up by that sign , well if you took a little walk and let go of some of that coffee if you went north a bit the water would run into the Greys,Snake, Columbia then a pacific ocean . To the west it would run down Smith’s Fork to the Bear River to the Great Salt Lake, and the south east down LaBarge Creek to the Green then to the pacific ocean. Was just a point after the Question about the Gulf of Mexico |

The Sweetwater Brewery, also known as the Green River Brewery, was built in 1900 in Green River, Wyoming It was the first brewery in Wyoming, with operations dating to 1872 when Adam Braun began the business, the first of a series of ethnic German brewers.

It also appears to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

That is right! You got it ElkHunter!
I found all of these references below saying Atlantic City had the first brewery. But the last one, a That is right! You got it ElkHunter!
I found all of these references below saying Atlantic City had the first brewery.
A book titled "Progressive men of the State of Wyoming" By A.W. Bowen & Co.
Progressive men of the state of ... - Google Books
Indicates that " John T. Huff ... from 1873 to 1885 he conducted the brewery. " in Atlantic City.
That date is about 2 years later then the date claimed by the Sweetwater Brewery. So the claim may belong to Green River, but I'm not certain of it. Other references below indicate the Atlantic City brewery began in 1868. I wonder which is right?
