One year ago today, Lakeside-based Tamarack Brewing Co. opened the doors to it’s Missoula outpost and the place has stayed busy ever since. To celebrate, they have a variety of specials going on all day along with live music and good time. For starters, Tamarack has progressive pint pricing with $1 pints from 11:00 a.m…
No, you’re not reading a typo (see the post below). We do indeed have two reasons to celebrate beer on April 7. Along with National Beer Day, celebrating the repeal of prohibition in American, comes Session Beer Day. That it also falls on April 7 is no coincidence. As intensely happy as we are to…
Sure, Sunday is Easter, but for craft beer fans the time to celebrate comes a day early. April 7, 2012 is National Beer Day, 79 years to the day since the Cullen-Harrison Act took effect and repealed prohibition in America. Reportedly, people lined up at breweries in Milwaukee the night before in anticipation of being…
We’ve been hard at work over the past several weeks helping organize a great lineup of events for the inaugural Missoula Craft Beer Week, May 1-5, 2012. Yes, we know there has only been a trickle of teasing information thus far, but we’re close to releasing the schedule and launching the website. Thanks to our…
As we’ve covered in previous posts, Kettlehouse Brewing Co. announced this month they’re pulling out of the Kalispell, Helena and Great Falls markets. If Kettlehouse ramps up production to keep up with demand, they’ll pass the 10,000 bbl per year mark and could no longer sell beer in their two Missoula tap rooms. Thus, unless…

Craft beer weeks have become popular across the United States in cites big and small. As we’ve said many times, beer is social and craft beer weeks are a great way to bring together a variety of events with the singular theme of celebrating craft beer. With the 20th Anniversary of the Garden City BrewFest…
It’s the last week of March which means it’s time to lace up the running shoes and head out to Run Wild Missoula’s monthly beer run – the legitimate kind. This Wednesday, March 28, the Beer Run starts from Sean Kelly’s Public House on Pine Street in downtown Missoula for a little belated St. Paddy’s…
“Beer Runners Gone Bad” is a news headline that immediately caught my attention this morning. I pictured a bunch of my fellow beer runners accidentally getting tricked into drinking a Bud Light Chelada. Or perhaps a foul odor emanating from the pack after a run at the Run Wild Missoula pint night at Kettlehouse. No,…
This Saturday there will be no shortage of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations involving good craft beer (yes, even green beer), live music and tasty dishes all across Montana. So feel free to raise a pint, toast your inner Leprechaun and enjoy the day, and, as always, be safe out there. Bones Brewing Pub & Eatery will…
