COMMUNITY
& EVENTS
Beer as a force.
There’s a reason we opened Tamarack Brewing Company in Montana…because it's truly the last best place, scenery and people. Part of our core values is supporting local organizations to keep our communities fed (and well-quenched), promoting our schools to play as a team, and preserving our public lands to remain clean and pristine. Without our strong communities, we would be aimlessly wandering the shores of Flathead Lake with a boring domestic beer, longing for a local watering hole that brews great craft beer.
​
We're fueled by bringing people together. We're smiling when our locals are bellied up to the bar meeting new friends or pouring beers at a local brewfest; it's what keeps us inspired to keep brewing great Montana craft beer. So thank you for every time you celebrate a birthday with us or purchase a 4-pack at your local supermarket, we couldn't do it without you.
EVENTS WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO...

Helena Ales for Trails strives to contribute to the community of Helena by raising funds for the Helena Trail System. 2024's event raised $20,000 for the trails, which went towards the Bureau of Land Management's Scratchgravel Hills Recreation Area Management Plan!
The event is led by a consortium of community leaders from a variety of sectors. We’re proud to partner with local businesses, city and county government, and private citizens to host and sponsor Helena Ales for Trails. In addition to the myriad of people involved in planning, Helena Ales for Trails utilizes over 150 volunteers on the day of the event. Over the first 13 years we’ve raised over $223,000 for local trails, all which was distributed to Friends of Centennial Trail (Centennial Trail Project), Prickly Pear Land Trust (Peaks to Creek Project), Helena Parks and Recreation (Ascension Downhill Project & Park City Trailhead), Helena Trail Rider, the Deford Trail Corridor and the 2019 Whyte Addition to Mt. Helena City Park, and the Old Shooting Range Restroom Accessibility Project, the Limekiln Parking Area Realignment Project, and the Bureau of Land Management (Scratchgravel Hills Recreation Plan).
