Canyon Creek Brewing

Eighteen Draft beers brewed on site +2 seltzers, and box wine available. Ample parking with a large lot adjoining for oversized vehicles, including RVs. Limited seating at bar but ample seating inside. However, weather permitting, the outside patio is huge with lots of tables and chairs and plants and flowers and mobiles; a really nice place to sit outside and enjoy a beverage or two.

The IPAs I drank were both solid and to style. No food available and no food trucks on a Saturday afternoon. The overall vibe is friendly locals with classic rock ‘n’ roll on the radio. I would come back here in a heartbeat, especially when select beers are three dollars from 12 to 2 happy hour on Saturdays and Sundays.

 

 

 

 

 

(#7 of 49) We stopped here to try their beers. The brewery is located in a building that looks like it was built to house this operation. It is located in an area where there are other light industrial businesses. The interior is large with a bar where you order and pay for your beers. A nice patio with a fire pit is located along the parking lot side of the building, and it was a perfect evening so we chose to sit out there.

There were 15 beers available that evening, but because they don't offer flights to be able to enjoy a wide range of the selections, we chose only 4 beers in small pours (plus we taste sampled one other beer). Each beer was brewed to style, and each exceeded the style characteristics so that we gave an overall grade of 3.5 out of 5. We liked the Gose the best, and the small sample of the scotch ale dragged down the overall score because we felt that it was only an average beer for the style.

There is no food served here, but a BBQ food truck was open for business, and its aroma was very tempting. We liked the place well enough to come back if we are ever in the area again.

 

 

i like this place, super cool space, with a huge outdoor area, fireplace, and plenty of seating. sprawling on the inside with a loud echo and visible brew house and cold room, with lots of cold storage and a rather generic beer list. unnamed basic beers like pale ale, ipa, copper, amber, blonde, and stout. really uninspired stuff by colorado standards, but this is eastern montana, and maybe the palates are different up there. for the macro drinker this place is a haven, but for the beer geek it leaves a little to be desired. both the cream ale and the stout were quite good, while the rest of them werent bad, just pedestrian. the only glaring weakness was the blonde, but i liked hanging out here quite a lot. service was friendly and the room was buzzing. we had a good time sipping beers and playing games at a high top table near the bar. i will definitely be back due to its proximity to my girlfriends parents place, but i think they could stand a little more inspiration in the brew house.

 

This is a fairly new brewery but you can't really tell when you walk in. The facility is very well done and was packed with people. Tried the Scottish Ale which was surprisingly delicious. They have yet to name all of their beers but they certainly seem to have the recipe down. One thing that absolutely bothered me though, is that after I ordered I was informed that it was a cash only establishment. Didn't see signage anywhere that stated that. I was directed to an ATM machine that charged $3.00 to withdraw. I was very unhappy about that.

Overall, great atmosphere, good beer, working on being a good business.

Edit: Left with a growler of the stout before having tried it. The beer was drain pour awful.
