Council approves new liquor licenses for Backwards Distilling satellite and Wing Shack Laramie
Summary
The council approved a manufacturer satellite liquor license for Backwards Distilling Company (MSAT‑01) and a Bar & Grill license (BG‑21) for Wing Shack Laramie, both contingent on standard inspections and statutory conditions. Applicants Amber Pollock (Backwards) and Brian Seifried (Wing Shack) spoke in favor; both motions passed by roll call.
The Laramie City Council approved two liquor license applications on Oct. 21.
Backwards Distilling Company LLC — an out‑of‑Casper family business — was approved for a manufacturer satellite liquor license (MSAT‑01) at 2325 Grand Ave., Unit 1E, contingent on approved building inspections and the relinquishment of one satellite license (the applicant said they plan to close a Mills location). Amber Pollock, a company founder, told council the family started considering expansion about a year earlier and had submitted additional background information by email.
The council also approved a Bar & Grill liquor license (BG‑21) for Schack and Company LLC doing business as Wing Shack Laramie at 1622 E. Grand Ave., Unit C. Owner Brian Seifried said Wing Shack aims to be a restaurant‑first concept with family friendly service, and said they expect to open in one to two weeks.
Action: Both applications were approved by roll call vote, each recorded as 5–0 with four absences. Approvals were contingent on standard state and local inspections and statutory requirements; the Bar & Grill license must meet state rules on food‑to‑alcohol sales (60%/40% rules).
