If pressed, I’ll usually tell people my favorite single beer that I return to time and time again is North Coast Brewing Company’s Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout.
For several years, my best friend and I would get up at 6 a.m. on Sunday mornings and prepare a huge breakfast for 60 + people. We’d peel [...]

I am the jealous one, of course, after having read that Stone Brewing Company is doing a collaboration beer with the renowned brewers from Victory Brewing Company and Dogfish Head Brewing Company.

Cherry beers seem to show up like blossoms on the Flathead this time of year, and so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one to enjoy on V-Day. Big Sky Brewing Co.’s new Kreik (cherry) is a whopper of a fruit beer, with amazing cherry, cocoa and wood characteristics that I guarantee your significant [...]

Well, that’s not entirely true, but once you’ve been converted to the sheer pleasure of sour beers, you’ll never leave them again. I did entertain thoughts off leaving after drinking a particularly funky Rodenbach Grand Cru one time, but I have recovered my relationship with sour beers admirably, and we proceed hand-in-hand through this good [...]

Here are the latest and greatest happenings from Great Divide Brewing Co. I’m particularly interested in trying the beer they call Colette. I love saisons. Let me know if you see any of these beers in Western Montana.
