Mountain Beer
 

Taking a trip to Glacier National Park this July. Beers available where I'm staying. Any recommendations? Of course I could try them all but I have to hike 15 miles a day.

I would try the ones you can't get around here.

Sierra Nevada
Fat Tire
Hornsby
Samuel Smith

are all readily available around here....go for something unique to the area....thats the fun of it.

I'd just try the ones on draught, or see if they'll make you a flight if you want to keep consumption down.

Bottles are nothing special.

Agreed. Looks like some of the stuff is only available in the western/northwestern states. Hornsby's cider-meh.

I'd start with the porter and IPA on tap.

I love the deschuttes. I don't know the MT brews, but my uncle lives in Helena so I can try to remember to get the downlow on them. Morels might still be in season if it is early July :love:

I've never met an IPA I didn't like. I'd start with that.

Then don't try the Butternut Snapperhead IPA :yak4:

I'm my short time on this planet, I have come to the conclusion that the stupider the name of the beer, the worse it's going to taste.

Id never order that beer :)

I would :hee:

There's only 1 beer on this planet I wouldn't try....

I musta got a bad batch. Tasted like eating rusty aluminum foil soaked in hops.

If you want a good laugh read the reviews for Chelada over on beeradvocate dot com.
