Sometime around last June I remember going in to The Old Post in Missoula for an afternoon burger and a Flathead Lake Brewing Peg Leg Porter only to find that the Flathead taps had been replaced. Rumor from the bartender was that the brewery was closing and no longer sending out kegs.  Those rumors turned out to be true, though I did manage to drop by the brewery twice before its doors closed.

Fortunately, the story has a happy . . . . ending? No, beginning, or rebirth is more like it.  Tomorrow, Flathead Lake Brewing Company reopens with a St. Patrick’s Day celebration and a grand opening follows on Saturday. The fantastic beers are back along with food from a new kitchen.  Starting this fall, we’ll also be able to purchase their beers in bottles, a very welcome surprise.

The Flathead Beacon has an excellent story on the reopening. Welcome back!
