General Information

 

            

Moose Drool

Remember that feeling?

 

That first taste, the best part of a beer after a long day. We want to make that better than ever.

So we made Moose Drool. The name sounds a little iffy, but it's really the best Brown Ale you'll

ever taste. That's why Moose Drool is far and away the best-selling beer brewed in Montana.

 It's chocolate brown in color with a creamy texture. A malty beer with just enough hop presence to

keep it from being too sweet. The aroma mostly comes from the malt with a hint of spice added

by the hops. Moose Drool is brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate, and whole black malts; and Kent

Goldings, Liberty, and WILLAMETTE HOPS. It has an original gravity of 13 degrees Plato, and is

4.2% alcohol by weight, 5.3% by volume.

 

Scape Goat

Don't blame yourself, you can blame us. Scape Goat is about to become your favorite beer. Or it

 will be when you taste it.

Scape Goat is our award-winning Pale Ale. It is a very smooth brew, refreshing and well-balanced.

Scape Goat took home the Gold Medal from the North American Brewers' Association competitions

 as the best English-style pale ale brewed west of the Mississippi, but only because it is the best.

 Scape Goat is brewed with pale, crystal malts, and Kent Goldings and Crystal Hops. Scape Goat

 is 3.8% alcohol by weight and 4.7% by volume.

 

Trout  Slayer Ale

They say the best way to shrink a fish is with with a ruler, but the best way to grow a fish is with

 a beer. Montana Trout Slayer is the beer to drink when you're knockin' back a couple cold ones

 and tellin' fish stories. Who knows the next one might be the best yet! "A bigger tale with every ale."

Trout Slayer is a filtered wheat ale, fermented at cool temperatures, making it a smooth drinkable

 session beer. Brewed with Palisade, Glacier, and Mt. Hood hops, this straw colored beer is sure to

 please any craft beer drinker. Alcohol by weight 3.78% alcohol by volume 4.7%.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BIG SKY IPA

 

In Montana, many classic memories are made right after someone says, "Hold my beer and

 watch this." These bold, assertive moments deserve a bold, assertive beer - Big Sky IPA. A

distinct hop presence and malty backbone will leave you refreshed and ready for your moment

of glory. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride. Big Sky IPA has 65 IBU's, 5% alcohol by weight,

and 6.2% alcohol by volume,    

 

 

 

Powder Hound

 
Two words describe winter in our neck of the woods... cold, dark, and snowy. Just the way we

 like it! At 7.2% ABV, Powder Hound Winter Ale gives just the right amount of warmth,

balanced by its rich taste and generous dose of Hallertau, Palisade, and Amarillo hops.

After a cold day of getting it done or just relaxing, the avalanche of flavor will have you

saying these four words - "I'll have another Powder Hound"!

 Available October through January.

 

Summer Honey

When the days get longer and the air gets warmer, we get outside quite a bit.

And we build a big thirst. Summer Honey helps us shake off the winter and slakes

our thirst for a refreshing brew.

Summer Honey is a full-flavored summer seasonal ale. Brewed with a unique, balanced blend

 of spices, Northwest Hops, and Montana honey. Summer Honey is brewed during the early days

 of spring and released around the first of May each year. Light colored, light bodied, and very

 drinkable, Summer Honey sacrifices nothing to create a flavorful beer that can be enjoyed

during the height of the Summer. Summer Honey has 3.8% alcohol by weight, and 4.7%

 alcohol by volume.

 Available April through September.

 

 

Brewers Gone Wild

These beers tend to be here today and gone tomorrow, so get 'em while you can!

Just because they're called cow tags . . .

Doesn't mean you should go out and shoot your neighbor's Hereford.

Slow Elk Oatmeal Stout is available in September and October.

Even the Grinch can smile after a Bottle of Bier De Noel

Old Bluehair Barleywine is the sweetest little old lady you'll ever meet!

The Brewers fought tooth and nail for their own stash of these 750ml bottles.
