On a recent trip with a dear friend, I managed to visit all of the breweries in and around Butte, Montana. Just before that I had reached my 500th unique brewery with my husband.

I have had beers from Grand Teton and heard a lot about the brewery, but have yet to visit. Max Augustine, a fellow beer lover, contacted me about contributing on Moxie Lady. I figured that a guy who loves to write about craft beer and food, well, why not? Victor, Idaho sounds like a great… Read More Grand Teton: Beers & Burgers

Ninkasi is a cool spot. They have a nice big outdoor area with fire pits to sit and chill because the inside is rather small. The beers of course, are great. We have been fans of a lot of the beers we get in California but we were super impressed with the single hopped series. … Read More Ninkasi
Oakshire was decent. The IPA was good, we bought some cans to go. They have several beers to choose from or you can do a taster of all of the beers. Surprisingly the Gnome beer was one of my favorites.

They have a beer list with a lot of really great guests beers so we liked this place most because you can buy a keg growler… Read More Old Ivy Brewery & Taproom
In the sleepy little town of Vancouver, we found Dirty Hands inside a building that looked like an old catering company. It was quiet but the gal behind the bar was very cool. She came form San Diego and knew her beers. Since we were heading into Portland from Seattle, we still had quite a… Read More Dirty Hands Brewing
