Bear Root Bitters are wild crafted in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in small batches using locally-harvested and organic ingredients fueled by a passion for enhancing the experience of a cocktail. All flavors come from real plants - roots, bark, fruit, leaves, and flowers. You won't find anything artificial here.

Sustainability is at the forefront of this small company. Selective harvesting methods are used to keep the natural landscape intact and prevent over-harvesting. Every plant used is either wild foraged in the Grand Teton/Greater Yellowstone region or is organic if they are not found in the area. Bitters have existed for centuries throughout the world and Bear Root Bitters is using traditional methods to revive this ancient art into an innovative and sustainable craft for the modern era.

Bear Root Bitters is named after the behavior of Grizzly Bears in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton area. When making bitters, they use many of the same roots and botanicals Grizzly Bears use to kick start their digestion after coming out of hibernation. A bear's diet changes with the seasons. Grizzly Bears have long claws and strong shoulders which allow them to dig up roots that other bears cannot access. As Grizzly Bears become more active in the spring and summer, they eat an assortment of botanicals such as Huckleberries, Gentian Root, Dandelions, White Bark Pine seeds, and Yampa.
