(Missoula, MT)

All of the following are brewed by Big Sky Brewing Co., Missoula, MT:

Weekend @ Bernie's Pilsner (Abv. 5.5%)

Clean, crisp, balanced. Very nice. Little bitter at end.

9.2+

(OK, we went to another bar/brewery after this... I was a bit buzzed - that elepant rock was POTENT, but I'm not 100% sure what the brewery was called... oddly enough I could tell you how to get there from downtown Missoula... I love Missoula - awesome town.)

Kettle House Brewing Co.

(Missoula, MT)

Cold Smoke Ale (Abv. ?)

Dark, malty and smooth. Chocolate? Nice & Light tasting ale.

(Unfortunatly, I left off the brewer here... I'm guessing it was whichever brew pub we were at)

Brick & Morter Porter (Abv. 10.5%)

ouch...that ontop of the elephant rock? No wonder...

Malty & smokey. Coffee aftertaste (strong) Very good porter!!! Can't drink a lot of it...Can't drink a lot more.

Oh boy... off to a nother bar. I spelled some-thing wrong. (This was a GREAT day!!!)

Going to Big Sky Brew Company was really cool. I *think* the other brewery might have been Kettle House... I need to ask Aunt Nancy. Man, I hope I can drink like her one day. Like everything, I guess it just takes practice...
