Set in a metal-framed structure, the brewery brews the finest of its kind and is named after Montana mountains. These include the Lost Peak, Devil's Hump, Mount Jumbo, Wolf Point and Scotty Butte Wee Heavy Scotch Ale. Tipple on these craft drinks at their tap room or the outdoor patio. Nosh on creative pizzas and enjoy the delightful beers by the creek with your entire family.
