    The Lozenbrau from Conflux Brewing!
    Alden C.

    Conflux Brewing was another Missoula brewery I went to and it proved to be a good experience, that much is certain. Not only didnI have a beer here I also had lunch. I was highly impressed with the beer I had as it was a kind of beer you do not see often. It was a Pre-Prohibition beer, so one with some history called Lozenbrau. It was brewed in collaboration with Ronan Brewing using a 126 year old recipe and using techniques from a brewery that dated back to that time. I felt that it was very flavorful and refreshing. It kind of had a nice, bready flavor to it. I was very impressed with it! My lunch wasn't too bad. I don't think it was for me though. I ordered the tacos and they had kind of a crusty, deep fried shell to them. It wasn't like the "fake" crispy tacos you may get at some restaurants with Mexican food fare nor was it like the more authentic kind that you can also get that is the street taco type. So all in all it wasn't quite my thing there. The guacamole that came with my dish was good but I really think there wasn't anything wrong with the food itself. I just wasn't used to the tacos and how they were made and to say that I was having an "off" day would have been an understatement. But on the beer itself, five stars for sure.

    Was looking for a great local spot for some Montana eats and brews. Was so happy to find this little spot in the middle of Downtown! I had the best server I think I Hi name was Kavon. who recommended me some good brews on my beee flight. My favorite beer was the hells and hazy ipa! To pair it off I got a local Bison burger with some tots which was absolutely delicious! If you are visiting Missoula this is definitely a hip and happening place! Best part is, if you check in on Yelp, you can get a 10% discount!

    Here I am at Conflux Brewing which is brewery #273. SWPFTD and I are in town overnight for business. Usually she doesn't travel with me but tonight I got lucky...yes, hopefully! We had dinner nearby and walked to CB which was on our way back to our hotel. Very hip and inviting outside and inside. Of course I'm old so I don't even know what is hip now, nor am I hip enough to know that hip is not even a thing anymore. Don't tell me... Anyway, SWPFTD immediately spotted an Irish red on the board and went with that. Mummy Dust NW pale ale had a nice hop flavor to it. I often like a pale ale over an IPA and this one was good. Main Street dark lager was smooth and tasty. Offworlder Porter has a great hazelnut aroma and flavor. Last for me was the Crowned Serpent vanilla variant, an imperial stout aged in rye and whiskey barrels. This was pretty epic. I bought a bottle of this to take home as well as a crowler of the Irish Red. 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.

    From the moment we arrived..... the hostess Analeiss was sweet and our server Sam was excellent. Our food was delicious! We had house salad, macaroni and cheese, bison burger and fries. The peace vinger dressing was spectacular, the fired chicken on top was yummy and seasoned to perfection, mac and cheese creamy and delicious, bison burger juicy and French friest crisp and tasty. Our seating was outside, which was perfect. We also had delicious beers... ant something and a tangy one. All wonderful

    Strolled in on a quiet Wednesday night for some food and booze. I helped myself to the Donkey Brains Tarte Ale ($6.00 for 13 oz) and damn was it GOOOOD. Perfect blends of pineapple and coconut tea from a local company. It was absolutely delish!! Vegan options here! For grub, I bellied up to the Vegan Burger with tots ($16.00). First thing I noticed was how heavy the went on the tots. There were so many! They're wonderfully seasoned and delectably crispy! The burger is made using Beyond Burger patties. While I've had varying experiences with these burgs, I really enjoyed this! The cashew cheese (actually made in Missoula) was a bit odd at first but after a few bites my taste buds knew what to expect and I grew to like it. I wouldn't call it "cheese," more like a spread. Included in the burger in fresh arugula, tomato and pickled onions. I throughly enjoyed every bite and can say it gave me the same satisfaction of eating a burger. The others in my party had the Conflux Cheeseburger, French Dip and Beef Tacos. Only the tacos missed the mark. The were birria style but extremely salty and the consomé tasted like soy sauce? I agreed, it was weird and not very good. I loved how nearly everything seemed to be locally sourced and procured. It's a really important time to be supporting our local/small businesses. It's great to know that eating here supports more than one! Service is excellent, food came out quick and hot! I'm not vegan, but I do enjoy vegan food once in a blue moon and I appreciate the couple options that were! 10/10 experience, highly recommend!

    I've come here several times and the staff is always very friendly and inviting! I'm always immediately greeted even if the bartender is busy. As soon as they are available they always bring a beer and food menu over. I've had flights at the bar and sat with friends for dinner at one of the tables. Each time my experience is similar in that the staff is happy to help and always has great recommendations. If you just want a snack I recommend the Brussel Sprouts or the Poutine. If you just want something like fries you get a choice of A Basket of Tots or Fries. For Lunch I was a big fan of the French Dip (it's servered with Fries, Tots, or a House Salad) I had a side of Mac-n-Cheese with Bacon.... It was over the top but I'm not complaining! They were happy to give me a to-go box for my leftovers. There's also a canning machine for Crowlers to-go! At the bar there is Mug Club for an anual membership $50.

    Best brewery sign ever.

    This place caught my eye off in the distance when the restaurant I was planning to dine at was closed due to covid. The upstairs patio looked very inviting, the building appears nice and new and I am always on the lookout for another brewery to check out. We wanted to dine upstairs, but apparently this was for drinks only and we were planning to have a full meal, however we still got some pretty awesome seats on an outdoor patio. I really enjoyed my Chili Nelson Poblano Ale, but found learning about Montana brewery laws to be a little strange. This was really refreshing on a summer day. I had no idea Montana had such strange brewery laws, which made it so you can only have 3 beers per day and that breweries had to close at 8pm. Per the sign out front beer is served til 755. The little piece of paper they give you to tally your beers is quite amusing. I was happy to find they had vegan options and enjoyed my vegan burger, which was better than most as it came with a local cashew cheese. I would certainly be a regular here if I lived closer and am kicking myself for not trying to get some of this delicious beer to go.

    A cool spot! I was here with a large group and we sat on the balcony on the second floor. It has a modern and comfy vibe. The service was friendly and attentive. The drinks were great, appreciate the varieties they had including kombucha. The food was just OK but everyone still had a very good time.

    So it's been about a year now. These guys are still here and still making great Beer and Food. I have tried multiple items on the menu and it has always been good. That's one thing that separates them from others is the consistency. One thing I appreciate is there food is different! If you want chain food go to a chain. They have great service and friendly people here. The decor is modern and kind of plain but I don't come for the decor, I come for the beer and food. They have a small outside patio and a small outside deck on the second floor. If you are in town you owe it to yourself to stop by.

    Conflux Brewing is one of the few breweries in the center of Missoula, MT. Based on a quick look of prior reviews, I wasn't expecting much when I arrived. Normally, unless a brewery has reviews in the high 4's, it probably won't be very good. My inkling was completely false. Not only did they have one of the best beers that I've had in a long time, Donkey Brains, they also had some of the best food I've seen at a brewery. I'm not sure how anyone can have poor things to say about this place. Donkey Brains, one of the best names for a beer that I've seen, had a taste that matched the name's strength. It was a mild IPA with pineapple and tea. Normally, pineapple beers are too strong because the brewery maintains too much of the pineapple sweetness. Donkey Brains had a very dry pineapple taste, adding citrus with out sweetness. The tea worked well and made me consider how underutilized tea is for beermaking. The few tea beers that I've had have been high quality. Based on how popular coffee is as a beer ingredient, you'd think that tea would also be a successful beer ingredient, but it is not so. My wife, my wife's friend, and I all order entrees: salmon salad, BLT with salmon, and a buffalo burger. These all seem like normal brewery/bar food and they were, except that they were all successful cooked at a high level of expertise. The biggest surprise was the BLT with salmon, particularly because my wife is always searching for a quality BLT, and is always disappointed. This time she opted for the salmon salad and her friend was the winner with the quality BLT.

    Great food and multiple options to choose from to appease the whole family! Everything from a meat lovers dream to vegetarian and vegan options. Service was poor. Given the wrong menu and then was forgotten about for 15 minutes after the server told me she would return in 5 and I witnessed her just standing around. Good options to sit indoors and outside and depending on the night this is nice as indoors can get quite loud when busy! Would go back and give me place another chance based on the food alone.

    Everything was great!! Large selection of beers on tap, $3. kill the keg pints, rotating cider (I tried the Poor Farmer, sooo delicious almost tasted like pear amd it's local too!!), kombucha also on rotating taps and a wine list and mixed cocktails - so much to choose from at this brewery. We started with the bison meatballs in huckleberry bbq sauce, and the birria tacos which were so meat and the sauce although it hit a punch with the first bite they were unbelievably tasty. I would come back just to order those as my entrée. I got the Buffalo Mac n Cheese, my husband ordered the steelhead blt (whoa tons of flavor) and my sister ordered the pulled pork -- it was huge! They all tasted so good, very generous portions. Busy Friday night, it was loud but that's definitely the vibe of this place. Free street parking after 5 pm. Only 10 minute wait with no reservation. Bonus: they are featuring MT sisters artwork this month -- so swing on down, grab some tasty food and cold beverage, scope out her artwork and maybe take it home!!

    This is probably my favorite place in Missoula!!! I'd come here back to back days if my budget allowed it (not gonna lie- definitely have). The beer is incredible and SO fun! They've got a good selection for a variety of palates. Even got me looking IPAs, which I don't normally! Of all the food I've tried here now, the one I'm CONSTANTLY craving is the roast beet salad. I'm ready to pay whatever upgrade I need to keep that coming. I'm not even a blue cheese gal but it just works so well here with the toasted hazelnut!! I also loved the Mac n cheese! Only thing I haven't loved has been the poutine (not a fan of the etouffee gravy). But I'm ready to try everything else on the menu!!! Conflux was my first meal when I moved to Missoula, and that roasted beet salad will probably be my last meal when I leave!! Love this place so dearly!

    Great brewery. Worst Trivia in Missoula by far. Hopefully they find a different person to run trivia. Great beer.
