About Us
Creating field to glass beers with custom malts and ingredients from family farms only minutes from our brewery.
Sit. Stay. Drink.
Enjoy the banks of the Missouri River in the historic Murphy, Neel & Co. mercantile built in 1880. We have entwined the area's rich history and modern agriculture into our brewery where each beer has a unique story of how it came to be, tying the past to the present.
Why the Tri?
The Golden Triangle is created by following Highway 87 from Great Falls through Fort Benton and on to Havre. Then west on Highway 2 to Shelby and back down Interstate 15 to complete the triangle.
This area is known for its rich agricultural history and modern production of barley, wheat and other grains - making it ideal for our brewery to create one-of-a-kind Golden Triangle beers for your enjoyment.

Last Best Ale

• Montana Pale Ale ABV: 5.2% IBU:40
We are fortunate to have some amazing farmers growing high quality barley just miles from the brewery. Buzz barley is a new malt barley variety from the Montana State University Barley Breeding Program. Grown by Danruether Ag and malted in a Stupid Local Collab with Farm Power Malt, we are the first in the state to have it malted and will be making a single malt, single hop Montana Ale. Comet hops grown by Bell Crossing Farms in Stevensville.
Nitro: Meagher's Last Swim

• Pastry Stout ABV: 8.1% IBU: 65
Thomas Meagher was Montana’s first Territorial Governor and had made many friends and foes during his time in Montana. Both were present on that fateful day in 1867. The cries of ‘man overboard‘ were heard but his body was never found.
Dark like the night Thomas Meagher disappeared into the Missouri. Cocoa nibs, Tahitian vanilla, smoked maple bacon, Fieldhead’s Coffee Roasters coffee aged in whiskey barrels from Glacier Distilling & lactose.
Innermost Port-er

• Porter ABV: 5.2% IBU:26
During the Steamboat Era Fort Benton was the Innermost Seaport in North America. This beer is smooth sailing with Montana grown Mayflower barley, Montana flaked wheat and a boatload of chocolate malt. (You can never have too many nautical puns.)
Honyocker*
5
• Honey Kölsch ABV: 5.5 IBU: 21
The honyocker (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, bohemian malt from Farm Power Malt and Spelt to create an easy drinking instant favorite.

Brew School
4.5
• Dunkel Weizen ABV: 5.2% IBU:18
Kids will be kids...even if they are adults. We hosted a brew school and allowed the 'students' to choose a beer to brew. They chose a dunkel weizen because it has a funny name.
