Montana’s craft beer scene has really exploded in recent years. In fact, the Treasure State is now second in the nation for the number of craft breweries per capita, and we couldn’t be happier with that title. Since most Montanans would agree that the only thing better than sipping on a cold beer on a hot day is sipping on one on the banks of a lake or a river, we suggest you head to these waterfront breweries the next time you’re craving a cold one!
