The bar side is a nice place to get a drink, a burger and watch the game of your choice. Some advice: Try the chipotle aioli on your burger or fries. Try the blue cheese on your burger. The bacon is some of the best you'll get in a restaurant, whether on a burger or on a huge BLT. Only complaint: someone has been cutting the fries sideways recently so I got a basket of extremely short fries! Luckily I had a fork.

Ryan was our waitress, and she was just such a cool person. We really enjoyed everybody's positive energy and good vibes. Awesome food suggestions. We split a blueberry feta salad, which was delicious. My hamburger was tasty - made with Montana beef, topped with bacon and fried cheese curds. For $2 extra I got the garlic parmesan fries. Yum... My husband ordered the fish n chips, served crispy and hot, Sawtooth Ale battered cod. We washed everything down with a couple beers - namely their super popular Dirt Church hazy IPA and Huckleberry Honey Ale. On our way out, we bought a couple 6-packs for later; the brown haired lady that helped us at the bar was super cool and gave us a couple stickers. Overall, a great experience. Next time we pass through Hamilton, I hope to come back :)

Bitter Root Brewing is one of the older Montana breweries that I came across in my recent beer…read moreadventures in the Big Sky state. The beer that I got for our enjoyment was a fruit beer. Sometimes these types of beers can be pretty sugary and be a bit much. But that wasn't a problem with Huckleberry Honey Ale. Yes, it was sweet. No doubt about it but it wasn't it's dominant feature which was great and made this fruit beer a fun one to drink. Flavors to play around on your tongue with this beverage are sweet, fruity, honey and subtle. The subtle is probably the mechanism at play where nothing comes off too heavy handed , making the flavor profile well balanced. The beer is light bodied which is great as the summer time temps crank up the thermometer the light bodied beers are most appreciated.

An unassuming door opens to a wide-open space framed by rustic wood panels and leather booths leading to a walk-in kitchen. There is no chef's counter; instead a long chef's table and views of wood-fired meals from any seat in the house. The menu is tailored but varied by local and seasonal selections. I would have appreciated stronger leadership during seating and dining, as service requires a touch of polish. Nonetheless, the local Embered Beets tipped the scales on my typical avoidance - the earthy taste is brined and balanced after firing, served along with gently sweet goat cheese speckled in fresh cracked black pepper topped with savory (crunch!) granola & radish micro greens. Another local pick - Premium Filet Mignon from Billings is fresh from the range, tender enough to cut with a butter knife, and coated in bruléed blue cheese that blends with rich jus. Comparatively the 24-Hour Potato is showy but bland compared to the effort & ingredients involved. Knocking socks off - the Toffee Cake is dessert ELEVATED - a dense butter cake in Bundt shape soaks up ALL the caramelized toffee that's sweet but not TOO, warming and comforting with a single scoop of rich vanilla ice cream and a touch of thyme on top. AMEN! p.s. A thoughtful thank you note to-go is an exceptional way to end a lovely meal.

I have distanced myself from IPA'S for a short time as they are everywhere but in late Spring and early Summer I have gotten a hankering for them once again and so here comes the IPA'S rolling back. Flavors to have fun with in this flavor profile here are hoppiness, floral, some maltiness and a sweetness of a natural sort. It was very refreshing and the color of the beer is nice and bright. I suppose that description could also be added to the flavor profile as well. A nice introduction into this brewery and hopefully further beer experiences with Higherground in the future!
