about the montana s: brewers association
TRANSCRIPT
The Montana Brewers Association encourages you to drink responsibly. Enjoy your Montana craft beer with a good meal. Know when you’ve reached your limit, and NEVER drive when you have.
There are dozens of Montana-made craft beers to enjoy. Knowing the style, character and strength of your favorite brew can help you enjoy the experience – and get you home safely.
Grown & Brewed Montana’s history is coupled with a strong agricultural tradition of growing some of the finest grains in the nation. We live in the midst of the Golden Triangle, an area just off the Rocky Mountains that produces barley that is used throughout the country to produce fine beers, domestic and craft. Montana Brewers pride themselves in using Montana grown grain to make their beer, and to partner with Montana farmers and producers. Our “Grown and Brewed” Seal depicts this pride, so look for it around the state to identify beer made in Montana from grain grown right here. Montana-made beer is truly Brewed from the Ground Up!
