Highlander Beer is a cool brewery in Missoula Montana and is right off I-90 near the airport. The tap room is a large space with plenty of seating. The beer selection is extensive with roughly thirteen to choose from. I went with a sampler and all were really good. You can order single slice pizza which is made fresh. The pizza was so so and nothing special. It was a tad hot in the tap room because they were producing a batch of beer that day and the kettle was on. However, we still had a good time and will definitely stop back during a future visit. read more

One of the prettiest views at a brewery in Missoula area, we came here for a tasting and a slice of pizza. It has quite a large inside and wide open outside, with Adirondak chairs outside overlooking the creek. We loved the Montana shaped tasting board and the mini little tasting glasses. It was definitely a family friendly spot with a little kids play area inside and plenty of seating and area to run outside. Beers were pretty good, we loved the amber ones and the one with the Huckleberry flavor. Pizza was decent, nothing fantastic but great when having beer. The little merch store had a great selection of shirts and soaps and other items. read more

Ticking another Missoula brewery off my list, Highlander Beer! I got a beer here that I don't get to try too terribly often and that is shandy or radler type beers. I always live this beer type when I have it but it isn't super common to find in breweries, just sometimes I come across it. The Tangerine Squeezer is what Steve and I had and our fondness for this beer type continued. Flavors to keep your tastebuds peeled for are tangerine, sweetness and a dry aftertaste. The beer is very nice and light bodied and very crushable... so it's very easy to have more than one. read more

Awesome pizza and beer! Wait staff was amazing and apologized for the 20 minute wait to pay my bill.... however was a little taken back by some very rude customers..... people cutting in line and pushing through the line to leave without saying excuse me or thanks for letting me through..... what happened to people having good manners???? Other than other people ruining the experience with their rudeness was a good night! read more

Love this place. My favorite brewery in town! The pizza is delicious, the drinks are great. I love the variety of beverages to choose from. I wasn't super fond of the wrap, I definitely recommend sticking to the pizza. Some homemade ranch would really elevate the pizza! read more

This brewery was the last of the breweries we went to while in Missoula, and while it was a little further away from downtown, it was definitely worth the visit. Two of us got a flight, and we got a pizza to share. I liked all of the beers - they have a lot of light and refreshing beers, as well as some sours. Not many IPA's which is nice because I feel like some breweries have all hoppy beer. Not this place! The pizza was also a really good Detroit style pie. We sat outside on a nice day. It was very relaxing. There is also a huge indoor space. You order at the front and they bring your food to you. Everyone working was friendly. Don't miss this spot in Missoula! read more

Pizza is awesome here. Also love sitting around visiting with friends. Iconic Missoula beer imo.

We stopped in for dinner and beer after a day full of travel and had a great experience! It was very busy as there was an event but service was still quick. We did a flight and then a couple pours of the wheat beers and we ate pizza, a small Greek salad, and the Cesar wrap and enjoyed everything. Plus for a large outdoor space for kids. read more

I was out visiting my son and his family and they brought me here a few times. A pretty cool place. Friendly staff and clean. They have a little corner for the kiddos to play while we were enjoying an adult beverage. The food is very tasty, generous portions and priced right. read more

Hey there, It's been a while since I last reviewed. I'm here in Missoula Montana for work and stumbled on this awesome local favorite. I immediately found out why it is. This brewhouse is a MUST for anyone visiting this cool city. Upon arrival I was blown away on the size of this place. The brewhouse and sitting area is huge. After I ordered I realized that the garage doors, to the side opened up to a courtyard 2-3 bigger than the rest of the place. It's awesome for large and small groups. I met 3 pretty amazing employees who guided me through their menu & ordering process. This is not a Michelin restaurant, but the pizza is so.damn.close to Gourmet. I am not a fan of BBQ on my pizza, but I gave it a try. I was not disappointed. I was surprised by how good it was. I also had cheesesticks. Pretty delic. I saved the best for last, beer. They have at least 12 different beers on tap. Since this is my first go, I have not had them all (I will before I leave!), but the 2 I did have were amazing. All in all, this local pub should receive 5s. It's my first time and it wouldn't be fair to anyone to drop a 5ver. I will be back and my rating is probably gonna change. If it just you or you and 50 of your closest friends, check this place out. You won't be disappointed! Disclaimer: I'm sure I'm missing something. I'll update when I remember. Peace read more

The bartender earned this 5 star. Their beers were good and sadly we only got to try 1 each and if we had tried more we would have found our perfect match. The pizza was great with interesting combos. The cheese bread was amazing! The outside area looked great but we were in and out so quick (our schedule issue not them) that we didn't get to enjoy it. Would go back for sure! read more

You can't go wrong here. Great pizza and great beer! The vibe is so Montana, and they even have great music to bring it all together. The folks that work here are super nice and compliment the experience nicely. We are big fans and will be back soon! read more

Great atmosphere. Good beer. Basic food. Nice people. Had lots of fun there! Totally recommend

If this were a pizza joint and not a brewery, it would get six stars. Alas, the beers were what we were there for and they were only okay. The pizza though...good grief. We really wanted the Detroit-style, because we love the style and it's impossible to find at home, but we also wanted to try their New York-style pie, so we got an additional slice. The slice on its own was huge and the Detroit-style was entirely too much for the two of us, so we took the rest on the road (and promptly left it in the hotel fridge when we checked out in the morning--oops!). Both styles of pizza were flavorful, the crusts were perfect, the cheese and other toppings applied in excellent proportion. All around some of the best Detroit- or New York-style pizza we've had in a while. Portions are incredibly generous and the price is more than fair. (Note: If you're from out of state, be aware that, due to peculiarities of Montana law, you can only have a maximum of three beers at any one brewery on any one day. This is obviously outside the control of the establishment, but worth knowing you can't taste everything if you're passing through!) read more

The food was just alright, certainly wouldn't be a draw just for that. I thought that their Tangerine Squeezer was pretty good, looked for it in cans at the store afterward and was glad to have found it. Being able to enjoy a meal and a drink outside was the best part of the place! read more

After a 5 hour drive up from Challis, Idaho I needed a beer and a bite. So here I am at Highlander Beer, brewery #158 for me. HB is a really cool place. Huge tasting room with a large patio area, and Adirondack chairs next to the stream that practically runs through it. There might be a movie reference in there somewhere. The Strawberry Wheat had great strawberry aroma and flavor with no bitterness at all. Strange Haze IPA had no discernible haze to it but but was a nice drinkable IPA. I might have another! The Devils Hump red ale is a really smooth red ale. Just what you would expect, no surprises and no off-flavors. HB is 3 for 3 with me so far. SWPFTD of course went with the red and agreed it was very well done. Porch Swing Porter is another win. Just what you want from a porter. Smooth, roasty, chocolate. All the beers I tried were really good but I decided to revisit the strawberry hef. The decor is cool, the staff is friendly and attentive, and overall HB is a big win. That's five stars from me. 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! read more

Have only visited during COVID, but Highlander Brewery is incredible. With an ideal location and purpose-built building, they get just about everything right. Enter through the front doors, the brewery equipment is to the right, and a large open, high-ceilinged dining area is on the right. Directly in front of you is the bar and merchandise store (very cool merchandise, by the way). Beyond the dining area is an outdoor patio that sits next to a tree-lined creek. The food is simple, but you can try multiple items since the price is low, and pizza is sold by the slice. Their beers are incredible, and they have several lighter beers along with the mandatory IPAs, etc. One of my favorite places in Missoula, and there are many great bars/breweries in Missoula. Cannot wait to get back to MT and to the Highlander. read more

I wouldn't waste 5$ for pizza here again. Hardly any toppings on either piece we had and mine was a small slice in comparison to my Mom's. Wish I had taken a photo of both of our pieces. read more

Get off the plane and head over here. You need a relaxing beer after your flight and it's so close to the airport. Once you get here, you'd hardly known your near the airport with such a peaceful outdoor area. The beers are fun and cover a good range. Not the best I've ever had but all respectable. The only food is really pizza, some snacks and salads. The pizza good and the slices are huge. read more

This is one of the more awesome breweries I have been too. The beer is good and there are lots of choices but the atmosphere is what makes it! There is an out door area that also has a babbling brook. There is out door eating area, taco truck, corn hole, little path. Inside there is ample seating a kids play area and a little store with cool swag! The pizza and s amazing and you can buy it by the slice, we also got a salad which was good... we came here twice in two days. The second time we had about 3 hours to kill before our plane ride home. We knew this is the place we wanted to spend it relaxing by the stream, having a beer and a slice of pizza. Awesome place! Thanks highland brewery! read more

Decided to stop for one more beer before we leave Missoula and glad we did. Walked up to the bar and was greeted by McKenna who was getting busy but made her way to get our order. The beer Red Hump was good along with the on going conversation. The place had a steady stream of people coming in. After the Red Ale had to try the Craggy Scotch Ale which was also tasty. Only negative is they didn't have them in cans to go. read more

When Highlander first opened I was a little suspicious that they just bought the name. The first year I stopped several times but the beers were a little too 'foo-foo' for my taste. However, we started stopping by last year and now it is our go-to stop heading out of Missoula. They have a number of good, traditional beers (pilsner, IPAs, pale ales...in other words no mangos, raspberry or watermelon), and coupled with a slice of their great pizzas makes this a wonderful stop for refreshments. read more

Amazing what you can do with an industrial building to make it organic and comfortable, but the folks at Highlander have done that. Spacious interior with inviting outdoor seating makes you feel like relaxing. We didn't have the pizza but they were shoveling plenty of them. Solid selection of beers and other drink options. The staff were attentive and friendly. Check it out. read more

Great ambiance and beer! Not much food selections, but very enjoyable time sitting by the water

We like the space here. It's a good spot to bring kids because they can roam. The beer is very good. I tried the coconut ale--delicious. The service was quick and friendly. The pizza is alright--not bad. read more

We were looking forward to another visit at this establishment, and drove 3 hours to get here. Upon arrival, we found that the outdoor seating was not pet friendly. With temperatures over 80, we would not dream of leaving our dog in the car. Sad, but maybe that policy should be revised. Many who travel can't leave the pet at home, and shouldn't leave it in the car either if the temperatures are too hot. read more

Love the atmosphere, always quality service, great views, nachos are always awesome. Kid friendly which is a great plus!

The Highlander Brewery is certainly an appealing place to meet with a few friends ( or a lotta friends). It's spacious and has adequate room both indoors and outdoors for large groups to imbibe. Staffing is good. There's a lot to recommend this brewery to the first-time visitor. Unfortunately, the selection of brews on-site did not speak to my tastes. That's okay. I can see and appreciate it's many other virtues. read more

I am a big fan of hazy brews and they have their Strange Haze and Strange Times lines that I enjoy from time to time. I like being able to stop in and fill my growler. The facility is one large space which can be overwhelming if busy or if live music is playing. The food is limited and not something we particularly enjoy. Not that it's bad pizza, but just not what we like. It's worth trying once. read more

Everything about this place is great. I'm from Kentucky, so it was weird with their 3 beer limit, but I get it after looking up the distillery laws here.
