What a wonderful atmosphere! We were staying in Bozeman before our flight out and decided to try a local brewery. After a Google search, we saw Bozeman Brewery was near our hotel, so we decided to try it. When we entered, we noticed it was a small place, packed with a lot of people, but we loved the vibe, so we decided to stay. The bartenders were really nice. We enjoyed talking to them and learning about the area and the history of the brewery. They explained that they had been in business for about 24 years. Bozeman Brewery is one of those places that makes you feel welcome, and you want to go back. My favorite beer was their Plum Street Porter. No food but popcorn read more

Absolutely loved this spot! Great beer, great people, and such a fun, local vibe. Everyone was super friendly, we love Kelly, she was awesome. Definitely one of our favorite stops in town!! When we're back in Bozeman we'll be back at Bozeman Brewing Co. easy 10/10 read more

Very cool little brewery joint. Small and quaint, but had lots of that Montana flavor. Seemed it was mostly filled with locals and some traveling folks. They had plenty of good beers on draft. Don't sleep in their sours/ barrel aged beers, I think those were my favorite! read more

Brewery visit #289 coming at you hot! BBC, hmmm, unfortunate initials but maybe I'm the only one that has that sense of humor. Oh well, anyway, Bozeman Brewing Company is a small spot with a warm atmosphere. A lot of breweries have gone to a cold glass and metal type decor which I don't particularly care for. Not here. It feels like your neighborhood bar but serving good beer. The place was busy at 3pm on a Friday but some bar space was still available. I recommend the Axolager Mexican lager for lighter beers. Pretty clearly a Mexican lager as it has that little corn flavor that pops really nicely on a hot day. Corn. Pops. See what I did there? I crack myself up with my punny Dad jokes! Gallatin pale ale was up next. A really good example of a pale ale with nice hop flavor and a little bitterness but with the maltiness smoothing it out. The Bozone select amber I tried in honor of SWPFTD who is not with me this trip. Thus is a good amber that would make SWPFTD happy. In fact with enough of them she would become SWPD. Yeah, I know you don't understand that. You are going to wonder about that until you leave this life. I'm not sorry... Last up was Plum St porter which was smooth with a nice roasty flavor mostly towards the end. I think I'm going to get a crowler of the Mexican lager to keep me company tonight. Cheers! 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! I hope my confidence is not misplaced. read more

Breweries in Montana stop serving at 8:00pm. So as we visited different places we had to arrive in time to try their beers. As we dashed to Bozeman we found a Brewery close to our hotel and had their beer selection listed online. Bozeman brewing fit the bill. When we showed up we saw that it was small and packed. The atmosphere was palpable it was happy fun and a little loud. We got the attention of the bartender and asked her about a couple of their beers. Principally their Plum street porter and Bozone amber ale. We settled on the Plum street porter then tried the amber. The Plum street porter I believe is their signature beer. Having won numerous awards. Is was smooth and malty with coffee chocolate flavours and no hop overtones. It was delicious. The amber was also smooth and malty. However hop flavours persisted throughout and dampened my enthusiasm for this beer. It was drinkable but I would not select it over the Plum street porter. The service was excellent the bartenders were very nice and helpful and were full of information about the Brewery and it's beers. This is a must stop in Bozeman if you enjoy a good beer. read more

Ah, another beer from another brewery out of Montana! Bozeman specifically! Steve and I enjoyed one beer from Bozeman Brewing Company, their honey kolsch. I do indeed love beers involving honey and their honey kolsch isn't bad. Perhaps the honey highlight wasn't as pronounced for which really gets me into a beer involving this ingredient but it was still enjoyable all the same and from the looks of it a popular seller for the brewery. It comes in at least one variant. There is a berry version of this honey kolsch so if you feel that's something you are interested in then you may want to pursue it. Personally for me and Steve we liked the original version best since we get burned out on berry beers fairly easily. read more

Loved this brewpub! Great beer, great dog-friendly patio. Very chill environment. We will definitely be back and recommend!

Very down to earth brewing company with amazing beers. They include a wide range of selections, from blood orange shandies to porters. Everyone seems to know each other with a lot of the regulars talking with the bartenders. Even though this feels like a local watering hole we didn't feel uncomfortable, everyone is welcoming and incredibly friendly. It's a small place but very cozy, they do have a pool table. There is a bbq food truck that you can purchase food from, we didn't order any food but it smelled delicious. The brewery does have freshly popped popcorn, we tried the different bbq sauces they had at the table and each one offered it's own unique flair (spicy, tangy, mustard base, sweet.... they had it all!). We will definitely be back, we loved all the beers we tried and the relaxed/very casual atmospheres. read more

I'm a huge sour beer fan, so I was very excited to see that they had 4 sours on tap plus a very long list of bottled sour beers. We ended up getting a flight of the 4 sours (my favorites were the tropical and cranberry), and 4 samplers of the non sour beers. The honey and berry kolschs were light and refreshing - you can get them mixed together for a fun twist! The staff were warm and friendly. The tasting room is a bit small, but we were able to find a place to sit with ease. The free popcorn was also a nice touch! read more

Excellent beer! Very friendly staff. Nice quiet pub without a bunch of pretentious jerks.

More of a local bar than a hipster bar. Super friendly staff. Great beer! Heated outdoor patio for pups.

It is a small location with limited seating in a casual environment. On warmer days, it is almost stifling inside. And the tasting room is subject to Montana's current arcane and anti-competitive rules with regards to hours of operation and a 3 beer per customer, per visit, limit. Despite this, the place has a good vibe and some most excellent beer. I am particularly fond of some of the regular offerings. The Bozone Select Amber Ale, Bozone Hefeweizen, and Bozone Plum St. Porter are all tasty beers, and worthy of your drinking time and money. read more

Let it be known that the national bar for breweries has been set outrageously high over the past ten years with the introduction of the microbrewery boom. 5 star brewery reviews being withheld for those companies that a truly going all out on their brew, environment and menu. Bozeman Brewing Company's great selection of sour beer is its ace of spades. The tart arts are simply underrepresented in most beer houses around America if not the world. The quaint tasting room is particularly dark even on the brightest blue jay day in Montana, and one can't bring their beer outside, making the spot more of a cold winters hideaway than spring get away. Most love a good food truck near by, but pass on the signature pork, bacon and pimento cheese sandwich as the bun is stiff as a brick and the only way to get some moisture back in the pork is to smother the thing in the various barbecue sauces sitting around the bar. read more

For those seeking an unfiltered, authentic Bozeman experience, a visit to Bozeman Brewing Company -- located in an old pea factory and nestled alongside the lumberyards and train depots of Bozeman's oft-neglected Northeast side -- is a necessity. Atmosphere: In the "cozy" taproom (i.e. tiny and cramped, but in an endearing way) on a typical Friday afternoon, young upper-middle-class professionals rub shoulders (quite literally) with bearded ski bums and rugged old regulars, but the environment is that of unassailable cheer. The crowded confines offer BBC patrons a rather intimate experience that essentially forces strangers to mingle with strangers. In fact, sometimes BBC feels like stumbling into a convention of the friendliest people in Bozeman. (4.75 / 5) Beer: Obviously the most important part of any taproom, and fortunately, BBC offers the some of the best craft beer in Montana. Their Bozone Amber is a local classic (and was the foundation of my first college kegger), but forgo it in favor of their crisp and funky Hefeweisen or the Java Stout -- which is remarkably smooth and creamy, like a robust cup of black coffee mixed with good half-and-half. The seasonal rotators are hit-and-miss (mostly due to the brewery's noble knack for experimentation), but when they nail it -- like last fall's Terroir Fresh Hop Ale -- the results can be magnificent. (4.5 / 5) Food: There's no food except for popcorn (which is enough for me when I'm pounding down pints), but a BBQ truck operates out of the adjacent parking lot. (N/A) Overall: Regardless of how much time you have to spend in Bozeman, if you're a beer fan, make BBC a priority. You're guaranteed excellent craft beer, and if you're willing, some riveting conversation with a fascinating menagerie of locals and out-of-staters. (P.S. I don't know what "Heywood J." did to receive poor service, but not in my six years in Bozeman did I once receive nothing less than fantastic service here, even on my first visits when I was a total beer newbie.) read more

Great bar ! Friendly service... fantastic beer. Try the hey bear! Fun place to go when in Bozeman!

Service was fast. Atmosphere was really chill. We stopped in with our kids after snowmobiling and they were very accommodating. They have free popcorn. And toys sitting out if you bring the kids along. (Which was great for us) Pretty quaint place! read more

Ok, so I'm not a regular... But while in town I popped in for a pint. This place is "quirky" to say the least... Not a lot of seating, popcorn popped fresh (was never offered?), and nobody behind the bar(?) Don't even get me started on the music selection... Waited for a few minutes... Guy from back peeks head around corner, but walks in the "Employees Only" door and vanishes. A few minutes later the barkeep shows up from outside and I order a Hefe (5.4% and $3.50). It's really weak (as in watery, not cloudy, and nowhere near mysterious). Barkeep comes over to see how things are going (thank goodness!) He suggests the Baltic Porter (6.0% and $3.50). It's out of this world good! So good that the original rating for this review was going to be 2-stars... Now it's 4! Ok... Barkeep saves the day! I was going to be one and done... Thinking there's gotta be better places to go in Bozeman (And going to suggest that you should look for them too!) read more

Such a cute tasting room/brewery! All beers are really good but highly recommend the Hopzone, or the Imperial IPA. The bartenders are awesome! Especially Tess, who is very knowledgeable about the beers but also is a great conversationist. They are super friendly and will get to know you well...You can tell they have lots of frequent customers. Must check this place out!! Food: they have free popcorn! Parking: easy lot and street parking all around. Ambience: casual, quaint. Beers I recommend : imperial IPA, Hopzone, Amber, Wheat. Other: open till 8, capped at 3 drinks. Fun growlers and merchandise for purchase. read more

Bozeman Brewing Company - The Imperial IPA! Yum! - Breweries Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

My husband loves this place! We come whenever we are in town. Excellent selection of draft and bottled beer.

We came here on a whim and it paid off beautifully. The room itself is pretty small, so seating may be a challenge when it gets busy. But if you have a chair, you're in for a treat. They have a wide variety of brews (we don't like IPAs or their cousins and had little problem selecting full flights) and none of the ones we tried tasted generic or ordinary. Everything was flavorful, robust, and enjoyable. If we swing by Bozeman again, we're making a stop here a priority. read more

It's located at the intersection with one of the streets being Avocado St so my inner white girl doesn't even care about the beer quality when it comes down to it bc I mean, Avocado St come on am I right? On a real note though, the beer is phenomenal and it's packed on a Sunday afternoon. I'm v impressed by the Hopzone IPA. I wish I lived in the area I'm one hunnid percent sure this would be a go to spot read more

We liked a couple of things about this brewery. It's small and cozy, and has the atmosphere of a neighborhood pub. Second, our server, Brendan was really friendly, served us promptly and was happy to talk with us about the brewery. And last, but not least, we really thought the beer was top notch. A favorite was the Cask Conditioned Hopzone IPA with Amarillo Chili. Another of the group liked the sours, and the Lemon and Orange Shandys were also great. The Buck Gose was kind of different, but the person who likes sours enjoyed it. They have popcorn and also sell 6-packs of their beers. Relaxing, low key, great acoustics...you could visit even above the music. Definitely a place we will revisit. read more

I love Bozone beer. I've been going to this brewery for years and it remains one of my favorites due to the consistent product they turn out. They have staple beers that are always tasty but my favorite part of this brewery is the constant flow of specialty beers. Their seasonal selections are top shelf. I love the small tap room vibe and the low key, local atmosphere. Love this place! read more

Great local hangout. Great beer selection in a cool setting. This is a must stop for anyone visiting Bozeman

Drinks were GREAT!! Service was awesome!! There is a 3 drink maximum and then you have to buy a growler, why is it called a growler ( I just looked it up, dates back to the 19th century and has to do with the sound the lid made while gasses were escaping.. apparently it growled.) If anything the Hefeweizen here was so smooth I was highly impressed. The merchandise they have here for sell are a bit overpriced for sure. read more

I thought this place was a top notch tasting room! Lots of great beers on tap and some great seasonals. The crowd is very local which really helps out the atmosphere. A lot of folks were coming in to get growler fill and then heading out after I pint. I came for the full on 64 oz. experience. Which isn't enough. I'd heard about the Java Stout and had been waiting to try it. Very awesome and it did not disappoint. For my second beer I tried the Plum Street Porter which was just as good. I love beer but I'm not too great on describing notes and flavors and what not. I was worried about what to get for my last pint when I saw the bartender give some dudes something that looked like a Shotski board. Sampler! I was able to try four more of the beers as samples to count for my last pint. (Montana needs to change some laws.) I had a great time relaxing and enjoying some great beers. Would love to go when they had music playing. read more

Awesome Brewing Company. Great beers and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place!!

This place is 3.5 stars. All solid beer but nothing too unique or exceptional. The space is pretty neat and it's in Bozeman so that's cool. The server was super pretentious which I found entertaining. Sample conversation: Me - What's the MT Common? Bartender - Exactly that. It's a common. My advice, try the beer, no need to buy the mug. read more

I absolutely love this little tasting room--best beer in town, to my taste, friendly and knowledgeable staff, generous popcorn machine and killer bbq truck serving food some days. A go to for sure. My only quibble is that in winter hey keep it too cold. I run a bit hot, but freeze my butt off some days on this place. read more

Good beer and fun place to hang out with friends - if there is room. This place gets so packed so fast its hard to turn around. I really hope they expand soon as I have had to stop going due to the crowds. If you get in give the hopzone a try, its delightful! read more

I was really excited to go to the Bozone brewery after hearing so many great things about the place, but was disappointed. The bartender was too busy eating pizza at the bar with her family to tend to her customers and then lied to a few patrons saying they were out of popcorn because they were too lazy to make a new batch...please do not advertise patrons to notify the bartender if the popcorn is out, when they have no intention on putting the customers first. Way to go Bozone Brewery! 406 and Madison River breweries here we come! read more

Stopped here for refreshment while on a road trip across Montana: it was perfect! Good beer, gregarious counter service with some good knowledge of the beers made/sold here. Friendly atmosphere, too! I loved my IPA with Mandarin Orange; barkeep let us sample the sour cherry Belgian as well as the Berliner Weisse. Yum! read more

Rude and rather inhospitable service. If you are not a regular, apparently you should expect to be treated poorly. Decent beer line up and decent space, but the 406 has a much better rotation and selection of beers, and far better ambience and service. If you are looking for something more polished, give Bridger a try. read more

Out of the 4 or 5 breweries in Bozeman this is my favorite by far. The widest selection in terms of styles. They always have one cask beer. Which I wish was their Porter more often. With that being said their Porter is out of this world wether it's on cask or not. If you're coming here to drink know that by MT state law they can only serve you 3 pints at the tasting room. Plan accordingly read more
