Oregon might be discovering something Montana has known for quite a while. Mainly that there are a lot of West Coast IPAs out there, and finding your place in the mix means being just a little different.
Bridgeport Brewing Company’s Hop Czar Imperial IPA impressed me for it’s rich and deep malt backbone, which provided a [...]

I’m not going to spend a lot of time lamenting the limitations on getting fine craft beers from around the world here in Montana. Mostly because you can actually get fine craft beers from around the world right here in Montana. Take Brewdog’s Rip Tide Twister Merciless Stout. OK, so it’s not Tactile Nuclear Penguin [...]

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.
The fact that this brewery has the time to collaborate on so many other breweries is awesome, but one little thing at the end [...]

Monks of medieval Europe often brewed a beer called Salvator, a strong beer, to survive the fasting of Lent. While it’s difficult to know how strong it was, it was likely a big-bodied beer that would later influence the brewing of Bocks and Doppelbocks.
In the spirit of those old monk brewers, Denmark’s Mikkeller has brewed [...]

Beer buddy Jon brought this beautiful beer to a birthday party last night, and we couldn’t resist popping it open early, because the birthday boy was busy playing board games. Sorry Ryan.
