Day 6

Day 6--6/23
Drove to northern MT close to the entrance to Glacier--we will not get to drive the entire road due to 50 FEET of snow remaining!!
For supper we drove to Whitefish to eat at The Great Northern Brewing Company www.greatnorthernbrewing.com/draughthouse. Very cool place--although they have been brewing at least since 1998, the draughthouse has only been open two years. About 10 beers on tap plus a few in bottles. It advertises itself as the tallest building in Whitefish--two stories plus a third for part of the brewhouse...

After sampling their Black Star Double Hopped Golden Lager and their Wild Huckleberry Wheat (blended with MT huckleberry juice but not overly sweet and very refreshing), Priscilla found herself in the usual position of not being ablr to turn down a stout--in this case, the Bizzle Stout. Of course it was "another good stout".

I had Big Fog ESB which I think is better than ESBs I have had in Asheville! A gold medal winner from the North American Brewers Association. I followed that up with the Black Star mentioned earlier. Although advertised as double dry hopped (80% Mittelfruh 20% Czech Saaz), it did not have the classic IPA hoppiness.

Finally we want to give props to Becky at the brewhouse. She was very helpful and upbeat, considering she was working a double shift.
