I wish Missoula didn't have weird beer rules because I'd do the entire lineup here on a long afternoon if I could! There isn't a single bad beer on the list and the food is killer--making the pretzels with lye?! Like I do in my own kitchen and like I grew up on?! I'm sold. The patio space is wonderful for hanging with your family and playing card games which is what we did. It even got pretty busy and Kimber was cranking out pints and carrying food to tables like a duck on water! She was the heckin' best. I love coming to Bayern! read more

We were headed through Missoula on our way to Great Falls and had to stop here for lunch. And of course a beer. The service was top notch, the food was excellent as always, and the beer is superb. Highly recommended. If you don't like it, reevaluate your life! read more

The udo dragon soup was very tasty and the wiener schnitzel had a really good crust on it without the pork being too overcooked. Octoberfest beer pared well with the meal. This is a good place to eat. read more

Didn't try their beer, but had super reasonably priced and delicious authentic German food. So let's go as they say. Nice staff and feels like it sounds inside. Nothing but good things to say. read more

Years ago I had a friend bring me some of their beers in cans to try and I've been wanting ever since that day to visit the brewery.. well today was that day. It's a good size spot with seating both indoors and outdoors. There's a large chess game on the patio. They also serve traditional German style food but we had just eaten.. the menu did look good; definitely next time. It's a great spot putting out traditional German style brews and German brews with a twist. We ordered up a flight to try some of these different styles and everything was great. The lovely ladies behind the bar were on top of the service and we would definitely return for more beer. read more

Absolutely excellent food, kind and attentive staff (working so hard- seriously these folks are a dream team). Everything here is clean and well organized, we have already recommended it to several people. The food was so good, we forgot to take pics- the German potato salad was incredible, the spaetzel (sp?) and snitzel (sp?) were so delicious. Hubby had the brat and sauerkraut and it was amazing. Definitely check this place out and try everything, best German food since I was in Munich. No lie!! Kudos to green shoed bartender, tan shirt waiter working up and downstairs to help green shoes and friendly girl who helped with the check & growler- you are stars!!!! read more

I recently got to try beer from Bayern Brewing from Missoula, Montana. Missoula is a college town and perhaps not coincidentally a big brewery city for the state. There is a number of craft breweries in this city all with their own distinctive styles. At Bayern Brewing I was fortunate to try their Dopplebock which I enjoyed very much. Having the characteristics of a dark lager yet the rough bite of a porter or a stout this malty, dark and smooth beer is excellent as we are nearing the end of the cold months of the year. One of Missoula's breweries that definitely needs to be checked out while visiting! read more

Phenomenal food, helpful staff, incredible beers. Highly recommend. Plenty of indoor seating and bar top for enjoying food and drink.

When in Missoula wanting authentic German cuisine, you gotta come here!! I tried the Schnitzel, Nuremberg sausage & German potato salad & literally giggled, it was that good!! Liam was an outstanding server & Dan the baker makes incredible bread & pretzels!! The only suggestion I would have is to play some German music to complement your yummy cuisine & Bier! read more

Stopped here on our way to the Missoula Airport. Food was fantastic and loved the beers. We hit many breweries in Montana on our visit and this was the only place we purchased swag. Beer tender was attentive. We sat at a table overlooking the brewery so we could watch them in action. There is a whole upstairs that we didn't get to. read more

Beer is authentic and delicious. Lighter and darker beers all have been fantastic. After my 3rd trip I wrote the review. Service is exceptional and the outdoor seating is great as a family. The food here is one of a kind in Missoula. read more

We've been here twice now. While the food is good our recent visit was not. We ordered the Wiener schnitzel for lunch. When the waiter dropped it off he brought plastic forks and told us the dishwasher was not working so they had no reusable utensils. Okay, fine. Could we have a plastic knife, please? "We just have forks"' he says and walks away. There a a few problems with this. First off, it is not possible to eat Wiener schnitzel with a plastic fork. Check out the pic! You can't cut that with a plastic fork! Second, he knew they were out of regular utensils and had no knives, why didn't he mention this when we were ordering? Third, waiter was very rude and unconcerned. He just walked away. Really! How in the heck are we supposed to eat this?? Luckily, since we do a bit of traveling, I had spare set of utensils in the car. We shared a plastic knife to eat the meal. The waiter never checked back. We will probably try this place again, but not sit in this guys station ( didn't get his name). read more

Bayern brewing is one of my favorite breweries in Montana, and their Doppelbock is my favorite beer. This visit I tried their food for the first time from the Edelweiss Bistro. The pretzel with butter and chives was great and went well with their mustards. The Bratwurst and Sauerkraut was pretty good too. Not my normal choice for food, but worth a try. read more

What a wonderful place! The restaurant is called Edelweiss Bistro and is part of the brewery which is on a side street of Missoula. Plenty of parking on the street. It's beautiful inside with friendly staff and a casual atmosphere. The German food was just like Grandma made and so tasty! You have to look for this place but it's worth it!! read more

Good food, good staff. Off the main road, fun atmosphere, outside games for a fun evening in the summer!

Such a unique place to drink/dine. The German food was really yummy, especially the spatzel. Great prices. We had 2 meals and a flight of drinks for around $25. read more

Food, beer and setvice were outstanding. We order the meatloaf, jagerschnitzel, schniztel sandwich and curry wurst they were all outstanding. Server was attentive and polite. Would definitely go back. read more

I want to live here. I'm not even kidding. I was just visiting in town for a couple days. Searching breweries, a whole pile showed up! This was actually the second one we had visited this day (no judging me!). I really wish it had been our first! We only made it to the downstairs pub area, which was just awesome. Quality service and we started with a pretzel and a sampler of 10 beers. We read and talked about the ways that the different beers were made and how the met German quality standards. They were absolutely excellent. I don't think there was one I didn't like (I don't like IPAs and they don't brew them, so that worked out great!). We didn't get to sample much of the food, but the pretzel was great with the beer sampler. If you're in the area and like beer, you should stop by this place! read more

This place is such a find in an area lacking in good food and drink. It was so good we went back for lunch after going for dinner the night before. Great prices too! Pilsner is great. Highly recommend the Jaegerschnitzel with potato salad and sauerkraut and the brat with sauerkraut. Leiberkeis is great too, but a little simple as a sandwich, but add the great German mustard and it's super tasty. Max and cheese was reasonable, could be a little creamier. read more

I would say the "many vegetarian options" is misleading. That being said, it is about as good of German food as you will find in Missoula, with excellent beer, knowledgeable staff, and fantastic customer service. I am vegetarian, and ordered the Cucumber salad made with yogurt, and a pretzel. It was very good. My husband had the pork wienerschnitzel and German potato salad, very large portion, he asked for a to go box. read more

By far the best brewery in the USA. I was stationed for over 3 years in Germany in the Army. Love real German beer. This is the ONLY beer in the US that tastes distinctly German. It is the real deal! The brewer is my hero - thank you Sir for bringing real German beer to the USA!!! My favorite beers: 1) The old Bavarian style St. Walter Hefeweizen - he got that wonderful hefe taste I have craved for so long. 2) The green label Pilsner. Reminds me of a Licher - same taste, same bite. 3) Dancing trout - I taste the kristalweizen coming through. Well done Sir! read more

Really fun place to stop by when in Missoula. We stopped in for Oktoberfest and we're so glad we did. The Oktoberfest on tap was perfect and I suggest everyone stopping by this place when in town read more

My friends and I stopped here on our way to a guest ranch for some snowmobiling. Interesting place & very friendly staff. Most importantly, great beer! We tried the sampler and had quite a few. We then bought a case of our favorites to take with us on the trip. I even bought a sweatshirt I liked it so much. :) read more

We've been going here for years, and it's always our favorite date night! My partner gets the jaeger schnitzel because it's just so good! Pick any item off the menu and you won't go wrong. (The fries are also top-notch!) The staff is very kind, but I want to give a huge shoutout to our waitress, Kelli, who is always the sweetest. She's super attentive, incredibly positive, and always lights up the room! Thank you, Kelli - we love your bubbly personality! Bayern has handled itself well during the pandemic, and we really appreciate the efforts to socially distance and sanitize the tables. They even package the condiments individually, so you can still get your favorite cranberry mustard! Thank you so much for a great date night (again!) and we will be back soon! read more

Amazing authentic German brewery! The food is just as authentic and very good. They have an outdoor patio both upstairs and downstairs. The beer is very good with all varieties. You have to get the food, the menu is large. The master brewer and owner is from Bavaria. A must stop in Missoula. read more

Been a regular customer for many years. I have been there twice in the last four days for dinner. The customer service was inexcusable and so rude both times. Employees need to work on their manners and take a lesson in customer service. Do us all a favor, support another local business. read more

My wife and I stumbled across this gem of a restaurant and were so pleasantly surprised!. Having grown up in Germany and having a mother from Munich I can assure you that the food and beer was delicious and authentic in every way. This place is the real deal! read more

WORST "German" food ever!!! Went upstairs to the Edelweiss Bistro for what we thought would be a nice family dinner...NOT!!! We were the only people there and service SUCKED!! We all (5 of us) ordered schnitzel and was surprised to see that the Jagerschnitzel was NOT breaded!! The pale slab of meat topped with drab colored gravy looked like vomit! I ordered spatzle as a side and was brought the kasespatzle! I brought it to the waitresses attention... NO apology... just an attitude that made us all very uncomfortable. There wasn't enough gravy to cover the serving so I asked for a little more and was told they were all out. The German potato salad looked like a wet mess of mashed potatoes!! Gurkensalat was bland. A couple of the staff were eating in their work area so not attentive to us as paying guests. TERRIBLE FOOD and service!!! Will NEVER go back!! read more

This restaurant was new to my friend who lives in Missoula. My husband and I were visiting her and my husband really likes German food so I found this place on Yelp. My husband really liked the beer that he got and all of us enjoyed the authentic German style food. read more

Bayern is a great spot for a sit on the patio. A quick stop in Missoula we couldn't miss the opportunity to try some great beer. The staff was super friendly, and knowledgeable about their beers.

Hands down my favorite brewery in Missoula (and Montana too). Bayern crushes the local competition for great beer and produces some of the best bavarian beers I've tasted in the US. We've been coming here for years and can't get enough of their German style suds. They recently opened a bistro to expand their food menu. That means you can get schnitzel, currywurst, spatzle, or Bavarian pretzels to soak up the delicious beers. A favorite part? They bring you a six-pack of mustards to try out with your weiners and wursts (yeah, I said it). If you love all things beer and Germany, do not miss this spot in Missoula. Oh and FedEx me a few bottles when you're there :-) read more

Stopped in for lunch. The service was excellent. The brews were excellent. The food was excellent. That's all you need to know. Highly recommend it. I'll be back. read more

We stopped there for dinner and overall liked it. The beer is good and the food was decent. It was interesting to see that there is are a lot of kids allowed in what seems to be the bar area? I know they have an upstairs, would be more appropriate? We had a currywurst and schnitzel, the schnitzel was really good, but the currysauce was slightly too much tomato sauce with not enough flavor. They also have a cute beer garden and upstairs balcony, looks like fun when the sun is out. I'm glad we had a chance to try it, they close pretty early (8pm), so we had to rush a bit coming in at 7. read more

This place was ok, it seemed like it might be cool for regulars that know the ins and outs. We stopped here after a long day of travel and were very hungry. We found out that the kitchen is closed on sundays. The bar was full of kids. I mean kids running around, kids sitting at the bar with their tablets running high pitched cartoons, infants crying while their parents drank...It was odd. The beer was good and strong, the price was fair. The pretzel was good. Wish we could have tried more food. read more

Bayern has great on-site brewed beer and authentic German food. The Kasespatzle (German Mac n cheese) is a must, either as a main dish or (better) as a side. Love coming here whenever I'm in Missoula! read more

Credit where credit due. Whatever you think of with "Bayern"-- German beers, sausages, the Bavarian flag, pretzels, cheese, wood interior-- that's what Bayern Brewing is. Truthfully, I am not even sure elaborating is necessary. Dunkelweizen, Hefeweizen, Pilsner. Bratwurst. Sauerkraut. They stick to the Bavarian theme through and through, all the way down to the taste and quality. Need your German beerhaus fix? Here you go. Of course if you don't know what any of this means, then you need to get out more. And if you hate everything German or Oktoberfest, then why on earth are you even reading this review? read more
