Our man in the Bitterroot – Introducing GrizzlyGrowler 2.0

When I started Grizzly Growler three years ago, it was with the intention to bring awareness to Montana’s craft brewing scene. I envisioned travelling around the state making videos and interviewing brewers while tasting the myriad offerings. Unfortunately, and most of you know this already, it’s almost impossible for me to get around to all [...]

Interview with BeerAdvocate founders Jason and Todd Alström

People say I like beer, but as this Imbibe Magazine interview with BeerAdvocate founders Jason and Todd Alström proves, one can never have too much love for the nectar of the gods.
I’ve always admired their dedication to providing a venue for tasting and comparing beers. And I find it really cool that these guys [...]

Kettlehouse Northside deck now open!

Now that the sun is finally out and about in Missoula, the Kettlehouse Brewing Company Northside location has a back deck area that is open for the enjoyment of a beer outside. They don’t have any furniture yet, so come prepared to stand and don’t forget to wear sunscreen.

Beer tasting do’s and don’ts

Is it just me, or does this Saison have a slight hint of gasoline on the nose? I said, before turning around to look at the three large gas cans behind me.
Relegated to the garage so we wouldn’t wake up the babies, six guys sat around a brew pot and sipped on some really nice [...]

Craft beer weekend – All the tap rooms have something to offer

Big Sky Brewing Company is near my house. It makes sense to pop over there with neighbors or friends for a few samples and some good conversation. We usually fill the growler and head home for dinner. The Kettlehouse Brewing Company’s Northside location is on the way home from work. On Fridays I’ll usually take [...]

Montana pro disc golfer sports some Kettlehouse bling at the Beaver State Fling on Saturday

As the Facebook post puts it, “What the Nike swoosh is to Tiger. The KHole trucker hat is to Christian.”
As in Christian Dietrich from Billings, Montana. Here’s a video of Mr. Dietrich tearing up the competition at the Beaver State Fling last Saturday. Makes me want to get out and hit some chains. How about [...]

Thank you to those who’ve served

I’d love to buy a craft beer for each of you in my life who has served this country and provided for my freedom, my right to speak freely, my safety and my future. I’d like to sit down with you and talk about your sacrifice and remember with you. I’m talking specifically to my [...]

Don’t let Asheville take the crown as America’s best beer city

Not much time left to vote, but I would argue that Missoula is just as cool if not cooler than Asheville. Yes, I’ve had friends who’ve driven across the country just to try Asheville’s legendary bars and brewpubs when they won’t drive 10-hours to visit Missoula. But no matter. In a side by side comparison, [...]

We already know Montana is the number one beer-drinking state, seeing it on CNBC is just cool

Saw this on Big Sky Brewing Company’s Facebook Page. View the whole CNBC slideshow titled America’s Biggest Beer-Drinking States here. I find it interesting that the top 7 included most of the central and northern United States. Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota, in fact.
