Drink from a horn at Wyoming's only Brewery/Meadery! An incredible destination in Northeast Wyoming on the way to Yellowstone and Devil's Tower. Big Lost Meadery manufacturers mead (honey alcohol), unique craft beers, food, and honey vinegar. Come down to try a delicious mead cocktail, a rare beer, or just come down to experience an atmosphere unlike any others around. Big Lost caters to minute details within their building to provide an experience that will last with you for a long time. So drink out of a horn, play some games, and have a conversation again. Cheers and Get Your Pillage On!

I was in town on business and escaped to the Meadery twice during my stay. The drinks are tasty, fun atmosphere with drinking horns and games, and the owners tending bar were kind, generous and quality people.
