Sierra Nevada
Fat Tire
Hornsby
Samuel Smith

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

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

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

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
