Take a virtual brewery tour at Blackstarbeer.com

For me, nothing will take the place of a good, old-fashioned road trip to check out a brewery. But this comes close. Take a few minutes and check out the new Brewery Tour from Blackstarbeer.com. It’s a look at the transformation going on at Great Northern Brewing Company in Whitfish, and it’s one of the [...]

Awesome new craft beer guide app for iPhone/iPod Touch and Google Android

Just got a note from the folks at Democracy’s Drink about a new iPhone/iPod touch and Google Android app that offers many services related to learning about craft beer, defining styles, flavor profiles and even a note pad to make your own notes. I love technology, but so much of it, especially iPod apps, is [...]

Craft Beer Radio: NPR features Big Sky in a story about canned beer

I love when Montana craft breweries get good press. Combine craft beer and NPR, and you have something magical. Two of my favorite things. Sometimes I listen to Oregon Public Broadcasting in my office, because I knew many of the reporters from when I worked at the capitol in Salem. At any rate, while doing [...]

Microbrew 2.0: Blacksmith Brewing Co. gets a new Web site

One of my favorite activities is an afternoon visit to Blacksmith Brewing Co. in Stevi. Often we ride our bikes from around Lolo on the side road. However, the snow is falling early this year, so we’ll be road-tripping to Blacksmith through the winter.

Beerthink

And while this video isn’t necessarily a full explanation, the delivery and general entertainment quality of the individual were enough for me to post it here today. Also, it helps me get caught up from a busy weekend of wine tasting. And now [...]

In parts-per-billion, this machine is like no other

Big Sky Brewing Co. has been in the canning business before. Exorbitant prices for aluminum bottles, which they used at the time, took them out of the game just as fast.
Thanks to some amazing new technology, Big Sky is canning again. Their Moose Drool and Trout Slayer beers are available now. Read the story here.
