Bitter Root Brewing

"The Brewery" is one of my favorite places to visit while in Hamilton. It's a great place to catch up with friends, mingle with locals, catch a great band or enjoy some delicious food. This family owned business has been a Hamilton institution for many years. They have an established set of regulars that you'll run into again and again enjoying a brew, but they always welcome newcomers with a smile and a great suggestion for a delicious cold beer.

Their award winning beer is delicious. Standards such as the Sawtooth, Nut Brown and Single Hop are always solid choices, but I usually like to try the whims and seasonals on tap. I've yet to be disappointed by a suggestion from the bartenders and I've broadened my beer drinking horizons! The new menu boasts juicy burgers, wings and tacos as well as plenty of options for kids. The daily special always includes creative flavor combinations and plenty of fresh and local ingredients.

Entertainment ranges from live music and special dinners with beer pairings to game nights and fly tying. Of course you can always stop by just to relax with a cold beer. Can't go wrong with Bitter Root Brewing!

My wife had "The Bruiser" burger, and I had the fish tacos. All the food was TASTY, and the drinks were excellent! Our waitress, Sara was attentive and helpful. Nice casual and friendly atmosphere.

I had read up on Montana brewery laws because I couldn't figure out why the pubs closed at 8pm so was only a little confused about the beer vs. food ordering.  I could see others who didn't understand but the waiter was spectacular and simply smoothed over the uncomfy bits and made everything groovy.

The turkey burger I had was one of the better I've had the pleasure of inhaling.  And I don't know where they rustled up the bun but it was super duper.  The other meal was a chicken ceasar wrap and while it looked wimpy from a distance it was rumored to be packed with chicken.  (Unable to verify the rumor, I was too busy shoving turkey and maple bacon down my gullet.)

But you're really here for beer and you're really here for good beer.  Never fear, good beer is here!!!   A local at another shop told us that they never realized how good Bitterroot Brewing beer was until they went somewhere else.  Funny, but true.
