Blackfoot River Brewing

Nice inviting taproom. No seating at the bar but a few tables scattered around. 12 beers on tap, the ones I had were all fairly good. Surprisingly, I likey the Hazy IPA best.

Definitely the place for craftbeer in Helena. Nice setup...downstairs and up...plus a great upstairs deck looking out over the street ( I always enjoy that view best). I was on my way to Missoula where I knew there were more breweries and likely better beer than Helena...so I was forced to limit myself to one brewery...Blackfoot was the correct choice. The beers here are good and solid representations of their styles plus some nice specialty beers too. None of the beers were great as far as I was concerned (20/20 hindsight...I was right regarding better offerings in Missoula)...but a few were noteworthy. I definitely like the Single Malt Pale Ale (as did "3fourths" it seems)...as well as the Organic Pale Ale (OPA), and the Double Black Diamond Extreme Stout (although definitely not extreme ABV-wise at 7%..for extreme...the Belgium Quad met that description at 12.8%!)). The Kolsch & Oatmeal Stout were also good. Definitely the place to go in Helena...but I wouldn’t recommend taking I side trip just to Helena for craftbeer. I would say the MT craftbeer destination towns are Missoula & Bozeman.

Attractive tasting room near the center of town, with eating places in the same building. Decent beers in a nice vinage industrial setting.

Very nice place with a lot of space. Great staff. 14 beers on tap. Sample trays.

A "must-do" for any beer lover in the area! Next door are some great eating options, and downtown Helena has many great bars and restaurants, but one of the few BREWERIES is this one!

Great new space for the brewery, showing off a bit of the brewhouse and having some nice space. Seems there is an upstairs deck, which was crowded with a band playing the day I visited. 8 or so taps plus a couple of casks. Nice beers, very well put together. A must stop if you’re in the area.

it’s a taphouse so it’s only open 2-8pm and has no kitchen. beer quality ranged from good to excellent (single hop IPA). staff were helpful and the crowd seemed loyal. excellent spot for beer in helena. thank god they make pale malt IPAs.

small place with some good beer. mid week you can walk in with your growler and they with fill it with your favorite for 5 bucks. what a deal.
