PubQuest is an easy way to find all those tiny craft breweries on your epic road trip
Since the elusive Montana spring seems to be in full swing in early March, it’s a good time to start thinking about your next craft beer road trip. Much like exploring the micro regions of France’s wine country or other such adventures, much of America can be broken down into large craft brew regions and even small micro regions, complete with different food varieties, brewing techniques and interesting locals to intermingle with.
PubQuest came to my attention via Facebook the other day, and I thought I’d share it with you, since navigating the country’s many microbreweries can be a tough yet ultimately rewarding job.
Check out PubQuest’s detailed craft brewery map. I’m a map fanatic, so I can study this thing for hours on end. In fact, after viewing it, I really want to make a swing through far eastern Washington, where I noticed a lot of tiny breweries that I never knew existed.
And if you’re interested in Montana craft breweries, check out my beer map dedicated to those breweries. I’ll be adding pictures and video tours to the map soon, so check back often for those details and more.
So who is up for a eastern Washington craft brewery road trip?
Prost,

Not sure if this is correct or not, but I was in West Yellowstone this past summer and the Wolf Pack was just a bar. I believe it was even for sale and they were not brewing beer at that time. Maybe they are brewing again, can anyone confirm that? I just did a quick search and see the website domain is even for sale. Just a warning, don’t be disappointed if you make a trip to Yellowstone hoping to find a local micro in West.
They were hurting pretty bad when I did some stories from West several years ago. It wouldn’t surprise me to find they’d shuttered the brewery. It’s too bad, West is such a good location, but it probably gets hit with the seasonal problems many breweries in the west face.

The Wolf Pack was open 2.14.10. It is not brewing beer but has a decent selection of beers on tap (probably the best selection in all of West Yellowstone). I had a delightful time there speaking with the owner. Her husband has taken ill and cannot do the brewing. She is very knowledgeable about beer and the brewing process. I learned quite a bit from her and I will most definitely stop by again the next time I am in West Yellowstone! By the way, I also had a very good lunch there. The homemade tomato basil soup was fantastic!
