LARAMIE (WNE) — Beer and other malt alcoholic beverages will again be available at War Memorial Stadium and the University of Wyoming Arena-Auditorium for the 2019-2020 seasons, but not all members of the Laramie City Council were excited about the exclusivity of the permits.

Roxie Hensley, owner of Cowboy State Brewing, LLC and Roxie’s Catering, LLC, will once again be providing the alcohol at UW events at the stadium and auditorium after being awarded special malt beverage permits by the City Council on Tuesday.

Councilman Charles McKinney asked about the permit’s exclusivity, which makes Hensley’s companies the only ones that can sell beer anywhere in the stadium except the Wildcatter and Beer Garden areas and anywhere except Mickeys in the auditorium.

Bill Sparks, senior associate athletic director for business operations at UW, explained Hensley’s two companies were chosen because of their ability to handle complicated aspects of serving alcohol at such large events.

“We went through [a Request for Proposal] process, asked other vendors in this area and town and so forth to bid on that,” with Roxie’s awarded the bid, Sparks explained.

The council approved both measures with seven votes in approval and McKinney and Councilman Paul Weaver voting no.
