If you’re like me and love pairing your beer with big mountain views, then you’re in for a treat with these Montana breweries. I’ve found they serve up more than just great pours—they offer rustic charm and that easygoing, wild-West vibe you won’t forget.
Highlights:
- You’ve got to try the small-batch brews at MAP Brewing Company in Bozeman. I always end up staring at that mountain backdrop as much as my pint.
- When I want a chill spot by the water, I head to Draught Works Brewery in Missoula—nothing beats that riverside beer garden.
- If you’re into creative ales and lagers, Überbrew in Billings really impressed me. I see why they’ve won so many awards.
- I love the cozy, rustic feel of Philipsburg Brewing Company—it’s set in a beautifully restored old bank, and the beer’s as hearty as the vibe.
- Don’t miss Great Northern Brewing Company in Whitefish. I felt right at home with their wide tap list and welcoming, community feel—you will too.
