JACKSON HOLE, Wy.— Fine Dining Restaurant Group and Pure Madness Group – the new parent company following Roadhouse Brewing Co.’s recent acquisition of Melvin Brewing Co. – are pleased to announce the debut of Code Red at Roadhouse Pub & Eatery. Located in the heart of Jackson Hole’s Town Square, Code Red is an extension of the Pub & Eatery, serving Mexican-style street food, from tacos and ceviche to posole soup, alongside a robust selection of Roadhouse and Melvin brews.
Inspired by the taquerias of East LA, FDRG’s chef/co-founder Gavin Fine and team started by sourcing the finest hominy and corn, developing a house-milled masa program for fresh tortillas and more. The comfortable and casual all-day eatery is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, available to-go or dine in. Menu highlights include:
- Chorizo & Egg Torta with poblano rajas, avocado and black beans
- Posole: traditional Mexican soup made from hominy, available in Verde, Rojo, Negro or Pinto with a choice of braised pork shoulder or chicken thigh and toppings like lettuce, radish, onion, lime and avocado
- Chips and Loaded Guacamole with pepitas, queso fresco and pomegranate seeds
- Ceviche Tostadas de Camarones: toasted, house-made tortilla topped with fresh shrimp ceviche
- Plus pastries like Hand Pies, Cinnamon Rolls and Conchas – a traditional Mexican sweet bread – and coffee by Snake River Roasting
“Whether grabbing a Breakfast Torta before a day on the river, or joining us for a warm bowl of Posole and a cold beer after a long day on the slopes, we’re excited to offer this extension of the Roadhouse Pub & Eatery dining experience here in Jackson, plus the ultimate stop for those looking to get their Roadhouse and Melvin beer fix,” says Fine.
The beverage program will feature a large, Texas road stop-inspired beer fridge for grabbing single cans of any Roadhouse or Melvin beer under the sun; while a draft system will offer rotating limited-edition and experimental brews from the Roadhouse Pub & Eatery micro-brewery upstairs and Melvin’s nearby Alpine, WY production facility. Highlights will include:
- Pura Vida: Roadhouse’s take on a Mexican-style lager, using copious corn and Vienna malt for an authentic biscuity and grainy flavor, perfect garnished with a lime
- Fruited sours have always been a favorite of Roadhouse’s Brewing team so expect to see various iterations of past favorites from Roadhouse featuring Mexican and Central American fruits.
- Melvin’s takes on West Coast inspired IPA highlighting new and flavorful hops, including some exciting new developments over recent years that produce amazing flavors like coconut and pineapple.
- Melvin’s coveted Hubert (aka MPA) – “the beloved American Pale Ale should be making frequent appearances through the summer, but you won’t be able to find him long or often,” notes Roadhouse/Pure Madness Brewmaster Max Shafer.
With a southwestern vibe, the Code Red space evokes the red rock of a high desert, with a floor of red penny tiles, red walls and mural work by Denver artist RUMTUM, with whom Melvin has designed past labels for its experimental series. Guests will have the choice of ordering at the counter or online for grab & go. A small parklet offers coveted outdoor seating along the Town Square.
