    2 Basset Brewery

    White Sulphur Springs, Montana, United States

    The brewery is located in a building that formerly housed the local auto parts store. The facility underwent extensive remodeling from the ground up. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with tones of copper and gold throughout, including some amazingly beautiful barn wood obtained from the Camas Creek Cattle and Sheep Company west of White Sulphur Springs. And perhaps, just perhaps there is a picture of a basset hound here and there. To the extent possible, the beers are brewed with barley and wheat grown and malted in Meagher County and other locally produced ingredients such as honey are used as well.

    Sacred Waters Brewing Company

    Kalispell, Montana, United States

    As Montanans, we come from families where our love of the outdoors often begin with our parents. They drag us outside and hand us a fly rod or strap on our hiking boots or skis, put us on a horse or mountain bike and say “this is amazing, you’re going to love this”. Sacred Waters Brewing is a homage to that heritage – a heritage we can all relate to in Montana. It’s a reflection of everyone’s special place outside…, everyone’s Sacred Waters. So join us and raise a glass – For the Wild Ones!
