Stopped by today on my way back to Spokane. Had a few free samples at the tasting room and visited the gift shop. Not too busy, and the service was average, but friendly. Definitely will try and stop when passing through Missoula again. Picked up some cool glasses and posters. They had a bunch of cool stuff at the gift shop.

I had a great time visiting this breweries tasting room. I thought that the tasting bar was well done, and the service was wonderful. The merchandise is great as well, I especially liked the selection of tin signs they had available for purchase. They will fill growlers to make sure you take your growler along with you.

Big tasting room and Big Sky mechandise store. The price is sure right: 4 free samples, although when I was there they were really busy, and the one bartender couldn’t possibly have been keeping up with who had what. She seemed knowledgeable, and was quite friendly. They didn’t have much special on tap when I was there, but local residents seem to abound, and can certainly keep abreast of new releases. Pretty nice place, and worth a stop before dinner or whatever. As I recall, they close pretty early.

May 2007 - Big new industrial facility well stocked with all kinds of schwag for sale and offering 4 free 8 oz samples per day. Convenient to the airport and I-90. It was packed on our Saturday afternoon, but the single staffer didn’t miss a beat. They had about 7 on tap, and all I tried were great. Fun stop.

Fairly large building on the western side of Missoula. Had 4 free samples while I was there. Don’t really care for their more popular beers, but their seasonals that were on tap were very good.

Big Sky has moved from downtown Missoula to a larger space near the airport. There is a nice bar at which one may quaff up to four complimentary 4 oz brews. There are numerous beer related items for sale (shirts, glasses, etc.) and one may also purchase growlers of the available beers. The staff is very friendly and will patiently describe all the beers on tap. It was a very nice experience.

Got here about 10 minutes before closing. 4 free 5oz samples per person per visit, very nice. They had some liter swingtops for sale of some hard to find stuff, Barrely Aged IPA and Blue Haired Barleywine. Sweet! $12 a bottle you say? Fuck, but I have to buy them anways. You can get growlers and metal bottles to go as well, the brewery is fairly visable and you can buy any type of Big Sky paraphanelia you can imagine. Cool place, fairly nice staff who didn’t mind us staying around after close and she gave us some good tips on where else to go in town for beer.
