Friday night and the place was packed. Everything was decent but nothing really stood out. Was also here the first year it was open. The beers have improved. Two floors with lots of windows. A few TVs. Live music.

Wow, cool ski lodge sort of looking place. I loved the big crackling fire in the fireplace against one wall, the big bar/tap area in the middle and the brewhouse in view just behind. This place has super high ceilings with exposed beam-age which somehow added to the calm relaxing feel. Great looking place with a warm vibe thanks to the fire. The service was good, the food was good and they had nearly a dozen house brews available so I’m certainly coming back here next time I’m up this way.

I really dont see the appeal of this place unless you have a family. Uber popular and was lined up, out the door by 6pm. Big, modern brewpub with lots of beers on tap. Friendly staff. The problem was delivery - the beers were bad to average. The sampler was a great deal, but even between 5 people we didnt want to finish 4 sampler trays. Everyone ate and everyone said the food was average. For us, it almost came across like a chain family restaurant, which was unappealing. Would only recommend to people looking for ticks or with a family, otherwise skip it.

This place had a great selection. I’ll go into a brewery/restaurant, and they may have 4 of their regular beers, with a special brew or two on tap, but this place had about ten beers to choose from. The pumpkin brown ale was pretty fucking good. The food poritons were huge. The staff was excellent. There are growlers to go here. It’s almost, literally, across the street from Flathead Lake. Awesome and very scenic place to visit. Had a great experience here. The ambiance was nice; the restaurant/brewery has a nice open feeling to it. There’s a nice fireplace towards the back of the establishment. Overall, a very nice place to eat some food, drink some beer, and relax.

Nice open pub, warm atmosphere, very welcoming to families with kids. Solid lineup of beers. The tasting tray is a great value-- 10 generous samples for $10. Food was fantastic all around, with a nice selection offering something for pretty much everyone. I’d make it a point to return in the future. Fantastic staff too.

A very, very nice place. A little hard to find because it’s hiding behind a hardware store, but well worth finding. Beautiful patio, good food, good music. The beer has some highs, and lows but overall the beer is very good. A must see if you are in the Flathead area.

This place is more than a bit out-of-the-way, tucked away in the hamlet of Lakeside Montana, and even then well-hidden behind an Ace Hardware but it’s only about 35 minutes from my favorite Montana Beer Store, Marcus Foods, so we checked it out. Totally glad we did. A beautiful spot to have a beer, one of the most beautifully situated places, with a great patio maybe 8 yards from a tiny creek, plus a not-bad looking place to boot. When we went they had 10 beers on tap, ALL of which were included in the Sample Tray we ordered, even though the tray only fit 8. Food was pretty solid, and the beers ranged from the mediocre (Blonde, Hefeweizen) to the fantastic (IPA, Bourbon-Vanilla Porter, and Wit). Servers were quick, polite, and HOT, and were basically knowledgeable about the beers,though clearly not beer geeks. Also great value, all 3 of us got pints, split some appys, and got the sample plate for under $30. A must-stop for the region.

Very cool place, very relaxed and busy at the same time. Really friendly barstaff, beers are good and a few spectacular. A new favorite for me in MT. Had 8 beers on tap.... Been back many times. I’m never let down by the selection. Just when I think I’ve had all of their seasonal offerings, I’ll go in and they have 5 beers I’ve not had.

Very cool, brand new brewpub in one of the most beautiful towns in Montana, Lakeside. Awesome atmosphere with the high ceiling and exposed wood rafters. Very large bar that backs up to the shiny, new brewery. Spacious, outdoor patio sitting alongside bubbling, Stoner Creek. Very friendly staff and wonderful tasting Montana beers!
