Montana’s brewing and distilling tradition reaches all the way back to 1863, when Virginia City opened its first brewery. While that original brewery no longer manufactures and now functions as a theatre, the tradition is still very much alive across Big Sky Country.
From hoppy beers and well-known lagers to Montana whiskey and local spirits, there are plenty of ways to experience the state through its craft beverage scene. With more than 100 craft breweries and distilleries across Montana, your tour can be shaped around historic towns, mountain communities, scenic drives, tasting rooms, and local favorites.
