				 | 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 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   |
