Craft Beers

We start with the launch of the new “Buy Local Beer” campaign from the Montana Brewers Association. With us are Brad Martens from The Rhino and Jeff Grant from Draughtworks. We also hear from the Montana Food Bank and their upcoming event called The Taste, a unique fundraising event.

The Dram Shop kicks off its Barleywine Week. Jenn Ewan from Missoula Economic Partnership joins us to talk about the upcoming Business and Brews: Crafting a Business over Beers.

We speak with Cabinet Mountain Brewing in Libby, Montana. We hear from Lolo Peak Brewing Company’s chef about their dynamite menu.

Host Ryan Newhouse and New Belgium Beer Ranger, Matt Simpson, discuss two new beer releases: Citradelic and Side Trip.

Marquez Ruiz, an avid Missoula homebrewer, talks about the area’s local club, Zoo City Zymurgists. And our friends at the University of Montana School of Extended and Lifelong Learning drops by to discuss their latest online course, Montana Brews, of which Ryan Newhouse is the host!

We are quite lucky to have with us the head brewer for Philipsburg Brewing, Mike Elliott. Mike was head of the homebrew supply department for Green Light before taking on a brewing job at Kettlehouse Brewing, and then brewing for Philipsburg when it opened. He debuts their new aluminum bottles!

We chat with the head brewer for Missoula’s newest brewery, Missoula Brewing Company. Gary Gagliardi came to Missoula Brewing Co. via Stoud’s Brewing in Pennsylvania.

This week we are joined on the phone by Marcus Duffey, General Manager at Great Northern Brewing Co., to talk about life and beer scene up in Whitefish, Montana.

This week we sit down, literally, with Kettlehouse Brewing Co. owner Tim O'Leary to talk about "K3", the new production brewery being built in Bonner, as well as why Kettlehouse does what it does (which is make great beer!).

This week’s episode is devoted to the exceptional selection of beer, food, and wines available at Caffe Dolce.
