tradition doesn’t suck
We love lagers but that comes at a price. We brew our lagers using the time honored decoction brewing technique. Taste our German style lagers and you’ll note the difference.

craft conquers all
We’re proud to be Kalispell’s first independently owned craft brewery. Brick by brick we’ve built a following because we love beer and don’t cut corners.

community on tap
We believe that taprooms are the original social network. Grab a beer and talk to your neighbors.
our story
Kalispell Brewing Company is the city’s first independent craft brewery located in historic downtown Kalispell, Montana. Founded in 2012 by the husband-wife duo, Cole Schneider and Maggie Doherty, the English-major, former ski racing, beer-loving couple launched their love of beer and brewery culture by resurrecting the former Hendricksen Motors building on Main Street. After a long, and often arduous renovation, Kalispell Brewing opened its doors in the summer of 2014.

our values
Make people happy with beer. After all, the difference between happiness and hoppiness is just one letter.
Support & celebrate the place where we live and play. The Flathead Valley is our home, and we like to raise a glass after a day’s worth of adventures.
Cultivate an appreciation for beer. Life is already complex enough, beer shouldn’t be.
Never compromise on taste, quality, or ingredients. If we can’t make it right, we won’t make it.
