New beer buddies, a duck epiphany, craft beer enlightenment and Bitterroot gastronomy

Driving up the Bitterroot Valley under a high, spring sun can be distracting. The jagged peaks of the mountains dancing in and out of sunlight, and the glistening river snaking along beside you can drive a man to daydream. Lucky for me I had my trusty traveling companion, my best friend whom I’ve known since [...]

Big Sky Brewing Company introduces new 406 Limited Release Series

Unless this is the queen mother of all April Fools jokes, Big Sky Brewing Company is reportedly going to offer limited release beers in what they’re calling the 406 Series. And to make everything just awesome, the first beer will be a Saison – Belgian Farmhouse Ale. These 406 Series beers will be rotating specialties [...]

Kettlehouse Brewing Company introduces a reduced gluten Belgian White

If light, Belgian-style wits are your thing, Kettlehouse Brewing Company has a beer for you. It pours up like a gaudy, orange biscuit, and it tastes really good. Which is good, because it’s made with sorghum instead of barley, which means it’s nearly gluten free. In all probability, it is gluten free, but with so [...]

Exotic craft beer is all a matter of where you are at any given moment.

Exotic is another word for home sweet home
I’ve drank a Fiji Bitter during a nasty cyclone in Fiji. I drank a malty devil on a hot July day in Havana, Cuba. I sipped a big Pilsner in a 1500-year-old castle in the north of Albania, as American war planes flew overhead on their way to [...]

Summer Honey is back on tap at Big Sky Brewing Company

As far as popular craft beer goes, Big Sky Brewing Company’s Summer Honey doesn’t just indicate a change of seasons, it actually introduces a whole way of life. My wife, for one, will be intensely happy to see this beer in growlers in our refrigerator again. Yes, spring is on the way, and this light, [...]

Which is why it was funny that the server in the taproom [...]
