SEASONAL BEERS

In addition to our 8 flagship beers (plus our house crafted rootbeer), our brewers tap into their creativity to craft recipes for some amazing seasonal beers. Our seasonal beers often vary by brewpub.

In addition to our Tamarack brewed seasonals, each of our pub houses have a tap dedicated to a Montana-made cider or hard seltzer. Please ask your server what's on tap!

*Please note our seasonal beers change frequently and are subject to change from the listed.

PALE N OATS

AMERICAN PALE ALE WITH OATS

6.1% ABV | 25 IBU

ON TAP IN: Lakeside, MT 

Creamy pale ale highlighting the Mackinac hop. This beer features a floral and herbal aroma that blossoms into a smooth and creamy nectar of citrus on the palate. A large addition of rolled oats allows for a soft mouthfeel while muting any potential for harsh bitterness.

DOCK DAYS HEFE

HEFEWEIZEN

5.15% ABV | 15 IBU

ON TAP IN: Missoula, MT

"Hefe" translates to yeast in German and "weizen" is wheat, which is what defines this beer. Hefeweizens are top-fermented and use significant amounts of malted wheat which is what gives this beer its refreshing crispness and light body. We added lemon peel and coriander to give it a spicy finish. We don't know about you, but we're looking forward to long summer days on the lake with a crushable craft beer.

CHINOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONGER IIPA

NW DOUBLE IPA

9.0% ABV | 45 IBU

ON TAP IN: Lakeside, MT 

We partnered with our friends over at Flathead Valley Hops to bring you this Northwest style double IPA. We used over 60 pounds of Chinook hops to give this beer a big pine flavor with notes of orange and lemon zest.

Growler and crowler fills available.

BARREL-AGED SOUR

6.75% ABV | 15 IBU

ON TAP IN: Missoula, MT

This tart and pHunky ale started out as a simple wheat ale which we then racked into American oak barrels and inoculated with our house sour strain. The beer spent many months in the barrels and was racked into kegs with a higher level of carbonation. The high level of carbonation gives the feel of a bubbly prosecco or champagne with a pleasant grape finish.

Growler and crowler fills available.
