Beer trip postponed
I was planning to take a trip out to Lang Creek Brewing this weekend. Not just for the fact it is considered America’s most remote brewery, but for all the things I’ve heard about their beer.
Unfortunately, summer hours haven’t started quite yet out near Marion, MT. That means the brewery won’t be open this weekend, and I won’t be heading up there just yet.
I did get some info from the tap-room manager though. He said Lang Creek Brewing is just about to release its summer seasonal, Fishon! Summer Ale. Chances are you’ll have better luck finding it in Kalispell, but it’d be worth checking out a few Missoula bars and restaurants to see if Fishon! made it this far south.
Also, Lang Creek Brewing will undergo a remodel this month. The construction is scheduled to take 4 to 6 weeks, after which the taproom will have a larger capacity for those tour buses that travel down the wrong road and somehow stall out in the boondocks. They are lucky tourists that break down in front of a brewery.
The larger taproom should serve the Grizzly Growler well, as I plan to post a video tour of the brewery just as soon as things are dusted and shined.
Prost,

A little off subject…
As a long-time beer can collector, I should know this (or maybe I forgot)…
In reference to old Montana breweries, how many MT breweries produced cans?
I can remember Butte, Anaconda, Great Falls, Kessler, and Missoula…was there a brewery at Kalispell that produced cans?
And what happened to the microbrewery that made Kessler brands about 20 years ago?
Thanks.
