Kalispell Brewing Co

Bigger doesn’t mean better. Sometimes small is good. As a small craft brewery in Montana’s Flathead Valley, Kalispell Brewing Company is proud to produce handcrafted lagers and ales using quality ingredients, with an eye for detail in each and every step of the brewing process, and a passion for beer. Founded in 2012 by Cole Schneider and Maggie Doherty, husband and wife, English majors, telemark ski racers and home brewers, the duo decided to make their decade long dream come true and start the Kalispell Brewing Company. Wanting to be an integral part of the community, the couple purchased a vacant, aging downtown building on Main Street, which they spent more than a year extensively remodeling and constructing to house their 10 barrel brewery and tasting room.

Kalispell Brewing Company has a 10 barrel brewhouse with an additional third vessel which allows us to do decoction mashes. Decoction mashing is an old process which harkens back to continental Europe that allowed brewers to extract sugars from under-modified malts more effectively. It is no longer necessary to efficiently extract the sugars but with our malt forward lagers, decoction mashing produces a melanoidin-laden wort, which our yeast turns into in a truly complex and well-balanced Montana-made beer. Sure, we could try to compensate with specialty grains, but it just wouldn't taste the same. With our lager beers, we’re after superior taste. Decoction mashes may take more time and be more labor intensive but we believe, like all good things, it’s worth the wait.

Beer makes people happy. And we like making people happy with our beer. So, come join us in the Kalispell Brewing Company tasting room featuring a roof-top patio with views of the Swan Mountains (they’re really pretty). Sip one of our handcrafted brews in our friendly, relaxed and fun-loving tasting room. There you can try our flagship brews and brewer’s whims, served in style specific glassware.
