Montana Mint Brewery Tour – Northwest Loop
What’s up, Mint’ers!?
Saddle up! We’re going to a Montana Brewery Tour. Check out this weekend’s schedule below.
Do you remember in March when we launched the Montana Brewery Bracket—a March Madness style tournament that pitted Montana’s best breweries against each other? Breweries advanced through the tourney by a vote from Montana beer fans. After nearly 35,000 votes the Philipsburg Brewing Company took the title as Montana’s favorite brewery.
After a couple months of being pleased with ourselves it all wore off, because “♪♪ after the show it’s the after-party. And after the party it’s that empty feeling of loneliness that creeps into your mind, and says ‘what are you doing with your life?♪♪’” Worry not. I’m working through all this in therapy.
So we decided to step out from behind the computer (gasp!) and step it up by a notch. This summer we’re hitting the road to visit all of Montana’s breweries. Repeat: we’re visiting ALL of Montana’s breweries. This sounds ambitious, because it is. We’re awesome. And we’re pretty damn serious about our beer, and no one is more serious about Montana.
Today starts our Northwest Loop of the state. We’re calling these loops ‘MicroTours’. You can see the itinerary below for the Northwest MicroTour below. To get updates from our Tasting Team follow us on Instagram here and follow the specific Beer Sky Tour page here.
