flight o beer
Bernard B.

If you're looking for a broad selection of beer, come here. If you're looking for a quiet, quaint, mellow place to drink beer, do NOT come here. If you have children and want them to play in the playroom (and behind the bar, in the kitchen , etc), come here. My first impression was that it was a loud, modern building with lots of families and TVs. And at first i wasn't holding my breath for good service: I came in and saw the "wait to be seated" sign, with zero hosts around, but with customers crammed in there waiting. I went to the bar and sat down, which seemed fine. Once the barmaid started serving me (Tyler i think), things got better. I got a flight of beer and Tyler kept having me try other ones as well. For that reason and the fact that a few of the beers were pretty good, i'm giving 4 stars. The noise and ballyhoo want me to give 3 tho.

The Harvester, a great Cream Ale from Meadowlark Brewing!

One of my favorite Billings breweries that I paid a visit to! Meadowlark started off as a hit right away as I spotted that they had a mushroom beer, the Fungus Shui which was a Mushroom Ale. I have had ales and beers before at breweries but spotting this beer type is extremely rare to find. So with no hesitation that was my beer of choice and it was fantastic with a well balanced mushroom and honey flavors. I also purchased a more common beer type, the Harvester which was a Cream Ale and it was phenomenal as well! Flavors in this beer were creamy, malty and clean. The beer went down nice and smooth and was light bodied. Truly a well made Cream Ale! I got some food but nothing too involved, just a basic garden salad as I was getting snacks at the breweries I was going to in town. It was extremely fresh and very enjoyable to eat along with some great balsamic dressing. I really like the space here as it's wide and open here with a sleek look inside. Definitely a good brewery experience and one I'd easily go back to as it's become a favorite for me while in Billings.

Meadowlark Brewing is a good location, a nice building with great outdoor seating. The wow kind of stops there, though. Perhaps because they are still going through the opening phase, it's just chaotic inside. Not controlled chaos, though, just chaos. I've only been here a couple of times, once when they first opened, and then again a few weeks later. The crazy crowds have eased somewhat, but that doesn't seem to have made the flow any better. There are some good beer selections, and food choices, but getting the drinks, food, or even the check when you're ready to leave is a very slow process. The employees are all very nice, but there's always a different person refilling the drinks, bringing the food and bringing the check. It's a long wait between those. On the food -- the brussels salad is really good and difficult to finish at one sitting. Bring the leftovers home, because it's still just as good the next time. The lemon herb vinaigrette is the perfect complement. I haven't tried any of the other menu options because they all look ordinary. Meadowlark is a nice place to meet friends, enjoy the outdoor seating, and be away from the heavier traffic areas.

The DJ!

The food was good! The drinks were good. The service was good. The atmosphere was horrible! Came after church for Brunch. Went from church music to Friday Night Club Music from a DJ. Couldn't hear anyone talk from across the table. Probably my last brunch ever here. Sunday is a rest day not a party day. BAD VENUE!

Flight of beers!

Great food, service, and ambiance. My kids enjoyed the play room, food, and space. The beer is really good and I rarely say that about a place. My wife had the Reuben which was legit. We will be back.

Mediocre food, less than mediocre service. Marginal beer menu. Went for my birthday, not impressed at all. Doubtful I'll go back.

While touring Billings breweries I had Angry Hank's on my list. I am not too sure why the attitude…read morefrom one of the beertenders, a young man with dark hair. Some breweries in Billings do pours of beers less than a pint but apparently such a request with him seemed ridiculous and asked if I wanted to drink or not with such a small pour. He did give me what I asked but charged a pint all the same. The positive thing with the front counter experience was free popcorn so that was good. As far as the need to charge me a pint when it was actually made a smaller pour made more sense than the attitude because the computer on the register probably didn't have the option to charge that but the flack I got for it was unnecessary. Well, moving on past that I got the Mexican Lager there, simply called Mexican Lager. This is a favorite Lager type for me and this one wasn't bad. Not really amazing but certainly doable. Flavor features with this lager are bready with a hint of lime. The beer was very light bodied as this lager type tends to be. While I appreciated the free popcorn snack the management should at least consider adding a smaller pour option to their register. And of course certain staff not being too opinionated to customer requests.

Great beer. Great prices. Great service. So glad we found Angry Hank's for our date night…read moreout-of-town.
