    This brewery is tied for my second favorite in Missoula. We came here after running the half marathon and we got a free drink when we showed our medal! We didn't know they were doing this and the bartender told us it was all taken care of after we ordered. So nice! The beer was good - I liked all the samplers I got in my flight - and they had a large variety to choose from. It's a large space - it was pretty crowded but we were able to snag 3 spots at the bar. They were starting to set up for a band, so they have live music as well.

    The only reason we stopped by on a Tuesday was because they had live music. Overall great evening. They have nice art to view and merchandise to buy. The atmosphere is very relaxed and they offer outdoor seating. Beers are good and can order flights. Service was helpful. They did have a Greek food truck, but did not try it.

    A visit to DWB means my 250th brewery visit! DWB has a big patio area attached out front and a great room sized bar area inside as well. Music playing, people enjoying themselves, and just a really good vibe. I picked my own flight of four. "That's what she said" cream ale is a nice cream ale. Creams are generally pretty unassuming, easy drinking beers and this is no exception. That's not a bad thing at all as not every beer needs to have overpowering in your face flavor. Shadow Caster amber ale was what I needed. Malt, caramel and just a really good amber. SWPFTD will enjoy this as I'm going to take some home to her. No Sudden Moves barley wine was up next and was really nice. Last, kinda, was the dill pickle sour. I wasn't sure what to expect from this but it was quite good. Not super sour, and not so much pickle flavor that I felt like I was drinking straight pickle juice but good pickle flavor. As I was drinking my flight I got to talking to a gent next to me, Eddie, whose wife Riley was working the bar. Both of them were great and as we talked Eddie suggested I try Sweet Heat, the mango habanero IPA. Now I'm not usually a fan of spicy beers so I was reluctant but he ordered a pint and got a taster for me. The first sip was all habanero and I thought it was going to get way too spicy. Then it didn't. It was spicy but had great flavor and balance. As I type this I wish I had picked up a growler of it to take home. I may stop by tomorrow before I head out of town. Survey says? Draught Works Brewing is a definite win. I will be bringing SWPFTD here soon. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!

    We were looking for a brewery with an outdoor patio, amd of course it rained all day so we couldn't sit outside.. but that didn't stop us from enjoying several beers with the garage doors open. If you like an IPA you must try the Fruit Rolled Up fruited hazy. Otherwise the Bittersweet Goodbye (honey rye). Enjoy rotating food trucks while drinking delicious beers, varies weekly. flights + truck = #fridayvibes . . . Enjoying dinner from @sonorashack delicious chorizo tacos and torta!! #drinklocal #newfind #eatlocal #ihearttacos #fridayvibes #rainyday

    One of the things Missoula is known for is its breweries, and Draught Works stands out above the rest. You can find a wide array of beer on tap, as well as some delicious root beer that my kids can never seem to get enough of! The atmosphere here is welcoming and fun! The staff is friendly and don't mind sparking up a conversation with customers. In the corner of the brewery, there is a section for local singers and musicians to perform, which adds to the fun vibe. You can usually find some sort of food truck in the parking lot so you don't have to even leave the property to have some amazing beer and food.

    Cool brewery with lots of craft beer on tap. Stopped in while on a road trip last week out of state and enjoyed the live music plus the atmosphere. Even with 40 minutes before close, it was still busy. I didn't get to try their flagship Scepter IPA, but I did try a couple of red ales - an ESB and an amber. The amber ale was far better than the ESB. The restriction on three beers a night is a statewide rule, not a brewery rule. Decide your beers before you visit!

    Very nice brewery located in Missoula. When you walk in the they a food truck outside with some Asian food. My favorite was the sour tomatillo beer. Lots of good flavor. For those with kids they can enjoy ice cream and root beer.

    I don't really like beer very much, but the Last Rites Mexican chocolate porter is prompting me to reconsider. The staff here are friendly and efficient. The ambiance is Missoula all the way. Love it.

    Sometimes life in Missoula can feel like the lyrics to a Sheryl Crow song. Case in point: drinking beer at noon on a Tuesday at Draught Works Brewery, just me and the bartendress, and a $4 pint of Chain Reaction Fresh Hop Pale Ale. The music echoes in the cavernous interior; I read a few chapters from Pam Houston's latest novel, Contents May Have Shifted, and for 20 minutes or so, time slips away. The beer gradually recedes. My mind settles down, my pulse slows, and then I realize: this is *not* a normal place, this place they call Missoula. Here, people pick hops from their fields and within 24 hours it's brewing in a downtown beer works (once a dairy barn), which is across the street from an Asian wood furnishings import store, and next to a rock climbing gym (Freestone). And the hops were transported 50 miles from Corvallis *by teams of cyclists* who raced them home. hence the name, "Chain Reaction." Cool, in a weirdly obsessive sort of way. Here, you can eat empanadas for lunch made with local pork sausage from Whitefish, and one with goat cheese and organic beets, then you can head down the street to snag a fresh pint, and you can still be back at work before your lunch break ends. If you walk real fast. And nobody will think it is even a little bit odd that a lone stranger steps into an empty bar at 1 minute past 12 pm, asks for a fresh hopped pale ale, and then pulls a book out of his Patagonia shoulder bag before starting to read. (Take that, Cheryl! Maybe your next album should be called "1200 miles to Missoula" ...) Draught Works, Missoula MT: Keeping it hop - but in a weird way - one pint at a time.

    Ok y'all so I tried this beer at a beer fair in Livingston earlier this year and I thought I enjoyed the beer but cooking in now I love the beer very much. The space is real cool it feels like an oasis of joy and beer tucked away in a cool neighbourhood. So I have tried most of the beers my favorites are Sleeping Joe, Huckleberry, That's What She Said, Resting Mitch Face, and Pineapple Express.

    We parked on street and walked in…read more We arrived at 6 pm for 8 pm show. The security opened at 6:30 pm and went fast, 10 minutes. By 7 pm there was barely any lines .....the first surge comes early for lawn seats We had the Nashville chicken and it was good It's all premade so it arrives seconds after ordering The view is pretty ... you can't really see the river It was a perfect 75°- 80°. The venue is five stars The BAD part....we went to see SYMPHONY ON THE RIVER MISSOULA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PRESENTS THE MUSIC OF ELTON JOHN The sound was horrible. There was some sort of LOUD constant hum... we think it was the singers band, and too loud bass. The sound system was one Star When the piano singer sang with just the symphony it was incredible But that was one song. The rest of the time you couldn't even hear the symphony or the singer. Just that loud bass. I had to plug my ears We left at intermission We drove from Stevensville

    Never thought I'd have a delicious meal at a music venue but KettleHouse blew my expectations out…read moreof the water. Had the tacos which had a great salsa paired with some picked onions. The venue was absolutely stunning and it was the perfect place to see Vampire Weekend. I saw a lot of people complaining about the way the venue handled people coming in and out but we had a great experience. We took the bus (which is FREE) to the venue and got dropped off not too far from the venue. Got there about 15 minutes before doors opened and the lines were short. On the way back we took an Uber back to our Airbnb. I highly recommend PLANNING before blaming the venue.
