I don’t get to get around to all the people who make great beer happen, in fact, I tend to focus on the head honchos when it’s the silent majority that puts that nectar on your table every day.

This from someone who puts it better than ever I could:

Thank you for the kind words Tim. We enjoyed your company and you are welcome anytime. Someday the rest of the world will realize what we already know about the Missoula beer scene.

Additionally, I would like to extend credit to Derek Stepanski, our quality control technician, for his contribution to our specialty beer operation. He is a passionate and talented brewer who participates in all aspects of the specialty beer program from recipe development to bottling. In fact, the Belgian Strong Dark Ale that we had at Brouwer’s was his creation.

Like a successful sports team, it takes more than just one person to make things happen. Here at Big Sky, we are blessed with a wonderful group of hard working folks from the front office, sales and marketing, packaging, cellaring, and brewing. The collective effort and support from our team allow Derek and I a great outlet for our creative expression.

Matt Long - Big Sky Brewing Co.

Well said Matt. Thank you Derek, and all of you whose names I don’t get to mention regularly in this blog. Your contributions to the craft brew we love is greatly appreciated. We’d shake your hands and buy you all a beer if we could, so don’t be shy in the tap room.

Prost,

GG
