Beer Menu
We have selected family farms and companies within Montana's Golden Triangle to provide us with the freshest ingredients and create unique and hyper local brews with a flavor profile that showcases our terroir.
Meagher's Last Swim
• Mocha Stout ABV: 4.8% IBU: 31
Thomas Meagher (Mar) was Montana's first territorial Governor. He had made many friends and foes during his time in Montana and both were present that fateful day in 1867.
Several theories exist to his disappearance but all that was heard were the cries of “Man Overboard!” as Meagher was carried in the currents of the Missouri River and never found.
This stout has an addition of Old Bridge Coffee Roasters beans, chocolate, vanilla, lactose and oats.
Honyoker*
• Kölsch-style with Honey ABV: 5.5% IBU: 20
The honyoker (hon-yocker) is a word with many interpretations. One such is derived from the German, "honigjager", meaning honey chaser, and was a reference to early Montana settlers pursuing sweet opportunities.
This light German ale uses internationally awarded honey from Yirsa Farms in Big Sandy and 100% Farm Power Malt to create an easy drinking instant favorite.
*Gluten Reduced
Shepweizen
• American Wheat Ale ABV: 4.8% IBU: 16
The story of Shep is tragic beauty. After losing his best friend, this Shepard met each passing train hoping to be reunited.
This crisp, refreshing ale is handcrafted from hard red winter wheat grown on Bomgardner Farms outside of Loma and custom malted by Farm Power Malt in Power as well as Montana hops from Crooked Yard Hops in the Gallatin Valley.
Shep has a heart of gold, bready notes and a clean finish.
Bentonbier
• Steam-style Ale ABV: 5.1% IBU: 41
The steamboat Benton was known as "Old Reliable" and a common sight along the levee as it made 44 trips from St. Louis to Fort Benton, more than any other mountain steamer.
This distinctively American style harkens back to the Gold Rush days with a style unique to those early Western entrepreneurs.
The Bentonbier has a deep golden hue from Montana grown 2-row barley from MaltEurop and is wonderfully balanced with hops from Crooked Yard Hops in the Gallatin Valley.
Signal Point
• Scottish Export Ale ABV: 6% IBU: 24
Just downstream from Front Street, this point allowed eagle-eyed observers to spot the steamboats and signal the community of the approaching excitement.
With a robust reddish color and malty backbone generated from Montana-grown 2-Row barley, this kilted creation has a complex finish which is sure to warm your spirit.
Bummybier aka Blame Dean
• Jalapeño Honey Hefeweizen ABV: 5.3% IBU: 26
After months of harassment from Dean Bomgardner (Bummy) we have made a jalapeño beer.
With wheat from Bummy's farm, Montana-grown 2-Row barley and organic jalapeños, this hazy hefe is pleasantly complex with a pepper nose and mild, lingering tingle.
