Jägerhund Brewing

04/07/2026

Let’s introduce and welcome our newest Brewer, Aaron Mayer!
Aaron is a well experienced local and we couldn’t be happier to have him become a part of our team here at Jägerhund Brewing.

Aaron the fly fishing and fermenting enthusiast, is originally from Ashland, Ohio and after graduating High School he joined the Air Force which in 2007 landed him in Cheyenne, WY- a place he is proud to call home. This journey started with Aaron’s desire to drink something different from “Coors, or Bud” and the only way for him to get what he wanted was to make it!
In 1995 there weren’t too many options for craft on the market, and home brewing became a hobby of his from then and throughout his career in the military. Aaron’s first home brew was an Irish Red, and at the time he thought it was pretty dang good- looking back he suggests maybe it was just okay. But like all good things come with time!
In 2012 after retiring from the military he began bartending for Freedom’s Edge Brewing Co. for about a year. At the time Aaron was working for them, one of their now owners/ brewers, Joel Emerick, had just been hired on as well, learning the ropes of all things beer! Joel is now a staple in our brewing community here in Cheyenne, and Freedoms Edge is still thriving today.
Then, comes Danielmarks Brewing Company who hired Aaron as their Brewer once they opened. He continued to brew for them for the next 3 years ( Prickly Pear Wheat) until he was offered a position as the assistant distiller, at Pine Bluff’s Distilling. Well, in the meantime of this big transition- now part owner/ master brewer, Ryan Willson took over brewing for Danielmarks and then opened what is now known as Blue Raven Brewery! Small town huh?
Within a year at Pine Bluff’s ( Oat Whiskey) he moved up to be the head distiller for the next 6 years!
Now today, we are eager and proud to have Aaron as our brewer. He is skillful, filled with knowledge, has respect and a passion for the state and community we serve, and so much more. His ideas and willingness to bring Fred’s beer visions to life gives me no doubt we will take on this coming chapter with grace.
Cheers!

Beer is 90 to 95% water. Brewers in our state get their water from many sources. Read more about how breweries treat their water and how local home brewers make some amazing beers with what they get from the tap.

Wyoming brewers say great beer starts with what comes out of the ground — water. “That’s why our beer’s so good,” Wind River Brewing Company head brewer…

Meet the Owner & Master Brewer, Fred!

Fred and I couldn’t be more thankful for all the excitement and support we’ve received so far with our start up to opening Jägerhund Brewing. With that being said- we thought to anyone who isn’t familiar with who we are, giving a face to the name, and a little information on the owners plans for our soon to be brewery, could better help us show our eagerness to be working within this community we call home!
Fred Hirsch is a Wyoming native being born on FE Warren AFB, here in Cheyenne, but grew up as a “military brat” experiencing life in both the US and Canada. Some activities he loves living out west include, camping, fishing, and hiking during the warm months, but also has an artistic side with his hobbies including photography and playing the drums. He began his home brewing journey in 2011 while he was living in Canada after discovering his liking for New Belgium’s “Fat Tire”, with many trials and errors his passion for home brewing blossomed! Fred is a certified beer judge and has rated several thousand beers in the last 11 years, homebrew and commercial. “ You would be surprised how great homebrewed beer can be” -FH
In recent years Fred decided to pull the trigger on his dreams of opening his own brewery, by going back to school and receiving further education in finance and marketing, so he knew exactly what running a business would entail. In his mind he knew it was about way more than just “ good beer” but also having a structured business and all the people who are involved. His love for discussing, learning and sharing information on beer with other brewers/ beer drinkers gives me no doubt he will rock it in his business endeavors.

I ran a Q&A with the owner to get a deeper insight into who he is and what his goals and visions are for Jägerhund. Check out our highlighted story on our page to see what he has to say!

We're in North Carolina this week doing some training on our new brewing system. Had the wonderful honor of meeting the prior owners of our brewhouse and the amazing beers they brewed. Thanks to the ABS brewing team at Raleigh Brewing and Nauti Dogg brewing for Ali their help!

We're busy working night and day to get our equipment in the brewhouse this week. Many thanks to our friend Fish at Black Cat for his amazing forklift, rigging skills and TIME to get us unloaded and move some very awkward tanks through a fairly small door.

Somewhere in America, a truck of brewing equipment is on its way to Cheyenne. Unloading this week at a brewery near you!

Good news! We're no longer a sewing repair shop. A bit of repair is needed, and our sign will be up in a couple of weeks.

And... then there was glassware. Our main glass is 16oz, with a 10oz half pour and 4oz sampling/flight glasses. We're hoping to be able to get some of these in our online store, but we're waiting for the state to let us collect sales tax. Stay tuned!
