    This place is ENORMOUS and crowded. No/almost no line if you prefer to sit inside. A huge choice of beers. The food was pretty good. Very friendly and attentive staff🙂

    The burgers are made with 1/2lb patties of grass-fed local beef with beautiful buttered buns and plenty of Parmesan fries. Looked like those had bigger portions than some of the other dishes.

    Parmesan fries are a must. If ordering the veggie burger, note that it is full of flavor but may be a bit dry. I found that ordering a slice of avocado made all the difference.

    Great service and beer selection. Loved the grain bowl with trout and the bacon wrapped bison meatloaf.

    Sprawling brewery with a ton of local beer on tap. Get the bison potstickers and sit outside.

    Huge and beautiful venue with a bar, restaurant and pool tables, fish and chips were huge but very greasy, delicious fries and burgers though, great service

    Great menu full of different choices and huge revolving selection of beers. Food allergies aren't a joke here- gluten or dairy free, the staff is knowledgeable and willing to help.

    Get the bison patty melt cooked medium rare. If you don't you're a damn fool and you know it.

    Beer of course but the best salad was excellent, wished it had more beets though. Veggie soup was awesome. Service was awesome.

    Beer options are off the chart. Try the vanilla oatmeal stout. They serve it at the correct temp and everything! You won't be disappointed.

    Montana meatloaf is a classic, great selection of beer on tap, and you'd be crazy to not try the parmesan fries!

    Epic black and blue burger. The lady suggests the Asian noodle salad - she gets it every time.

    Ask for Medium-Rare, and you get Medium-Rare. This place does it right.

    Burgers are supposed to be good, but don’t sleep on those bison potstickers. A good kale salad too!

    Hop Juice is where it's at. Only had the wedge salad with chicken, but it was quite tasty. Seafood paella looked like it'd be tasty

    Prices were high. Got a burger which was good. Food is quality, but nothing spectacular. Service was pleasant and mostly efficient. Not a memorable place, but will try a date night soon.

    Check out there black & blue burger. So damn tasty! Also, their Taos Dip is excellent if you like a little spice.

    The manager doesn't acknowledge the special offer. The special says, $5 off on purchase of $10+ but they do not accept it! Food is great!

    Order dressing on the side unless you want your salad soaked. Wedge salad would have been tasty if I didn't have to scrape the 1/4 cup of dressing off to taste the salad part. Gross.
