SEASONAL BEERS
In addition to our 8 flagship beers (plus our house crafted rootbeer), our brewers tap into their creativity to craft recipes for some amazing seasonal beers. Our seasonal beers often vary by brewpub.
​
In addition to our Tamarack brewed seasonals, each of our pub houses have a tap dedicated to a Montana-made cider or hard seltzer. Please ask your server what's on tap!

*Please note our seasonal beers change frequently and are subject to change from the listed.
ESPRESSO YOURSELF
IMPERIAL CHOCOLATE PORTER
8.2% ABV | 25 IBU
​
ON TAP IN:
Lakeside, MT
​
James Brown would be proud of the dance beat of mixed flavors with spiced rum barrel-aged beer. We infused Imperial Stout with all our favorite 'ice cream sundae topping,' including chocolate, cocoa nibs, espresso, and vanilla. This is a true definition of a dessert beer!

Growler and crowler fills available.
CHEEKY BASTARD
ENGLISH IPA
ENGLISH STYLE IPA
6.9% ABV | 55 IBU
​
ON TAP IN:
Lakeside, MT
& Missoula, MT
​
This burnt straw-colored English IPA is loaded with hop flavor that bursts of marmalade, mango, and pine resin that dominates the palate. Biscuity malts like Maris Otter and Munich were utilized to draw out a subtly sweet malt complexity without overpowering the hops.
​
Growler and crowler fills available.
BEE HOPPY
HONEY KOLSCH
HOPPY HONEY KOLSCH
5.6% ABV | 30 IBU
​
ON TAP IN:
Lakeside, MT
​
This is our take on the Honey Kolsch style, but with a hop harvest twist. To celebrate the hop season, we used copious amount of traditional German hops to create a drinkable hoppy Kolsch brew for crisp fall nights. A simple malt bill that is paired with 30+ pounds of honey to create just enough sweetness to form the backbone of this beer.
​
Growler and crowler fills available.
CITRUS BLEND SOUR ALE
5.2% ABV | 15 IBU
​
ON TAP IN:
Missoula, MT
​
This tart and pHunky ale started out as a traditional Blonde ale which traveled into American oak barrels and inoculated with our house sour strain in March 2021. We then blended our Yellowstone Lager soured in pink tequila barrels into the mix, added 5 gallons of orange juice, grapefruit puree, and blood orange puree.
​
You can expect to find some natural pulp in this all-natural concoction. This beer pops with citrus flavor while delivering a sour punch. A fun addition is a shot of your go-to tequila and an orange slice to create an end-of-summer cocktail.
​
Growler and crowler fills available.
GOLDEN CITY
FRESH HOP
FRESH HOP ALE
5.5% ABV | 30 IBU
​
ON TAP IN:
Lakeside, MT
& Missoula, MT
​
This year's fresh hop is partnered with our friend's at Flathead Valley Hop Farm. We named this beer after the tropical El Dorado hop, which translates to "golden city." A fresh cut hop field aroma gives way to orange peel, tangerine, and dank pine. These hops were picked early morning and dropped into this beer in less than 6 hours; just about as fresh as it gets!
