Known for Scotch Ale · American Pale Ale

Founded in 2004 in Belgrade, just south of Bozeman near the banks of the Madison River — one of Montana's great blue-ribbon trout streams. Madison River Brewing is the quintessential Montana fly-fishing brewery, with beers named for legendary hatch events, fly patterns, and the rivers themselves. Salmon Fly Honey Rye is their most beloved creation.
