Update – New Craft Brewery Coming to Downtown Missoula
Still no official word on even if a brewery is going to take up residence in the old Artcraft building, but the rumor mill keeps swirling. I’ve heard back from at least six breweries, many of which have some interest in the Missoula brewing scene, and no one could confirm anything about the mystery brewery.
However, some information came my way several months ago about a Hellgate Brewing Company. I’d heard that a couple with ties to the Bitterroot had plans to open a brewery in Missoula, but news from that died out a while back.
According to several friends who know of the people who registered Hellgate Brewing Company, It seems that it might be the very brewery seeking variances to be able to brew in the Artcraft building. Again, nothing is substantiated here, and if you know more about this, leave a note. Missoula is dying to know more about this new addition to our stellar brewing scene.
As always, check back for updates. I’ll post the whole story when we know more about the mystery brewery and the Artcraft building.
Have a great Saturday.
Prost,

Once upon a time, I thought Missoula was over-saturated with great coffee houses downtown. Butterfly, Worden’s, Catalyst, Break Espresso, Liquid Planet. These places and their customers stood toe to toe with Starbuck’s and, well…same for bread and pastry [thanks, Bernice's and Le Petit Outre!] Now the possibility that another excellent brewery will join the ranks of Bayern, Big Sky and the Kettlehouse…I wish them all great success. I love local products, especially when they are that good.
That would be sweet.
If they are having trouble with the Artcraft bldg. have them check out the matress warehouse bldg at Brooks and Grant. Location is great and closer to my ‘hood
