Cross Country Brewing in Glendive, Montana, is the sort of place where beerâlovers can finally stop pretending theyâve tasted everything. Their lineup reads like a catalogue of curiosity: from wheat ales that flirt with citrus to the audacious Campfire Brown, which smolders with a smoky peat finish that makes you wonder if a campfire was actually brewed into the malt.
The operation is proudly familyârun, and the modest scale adds a palpable sense of charm that massâmarket breweries could never replicate. Their wheat beers, each with a distinct personality, prove that variety can coexist with consistencyâsomething most pretentious pretenders canât manage. And while youâre there, donât overlook the popcorn (arguably the best youâll find at MontanatâŻBreweries); itâs crisp, buttery, and oddly perfect beside a pint of something hoppy.
In short, Cross Country delivers unique flavors without the pomp, a genuine love of craft, and a snack that makes the whole experience feel like a wellâkept secret finally spoken aloud. (The founders, who have been brewing together for years, clearly know how to have fun while taking their craft seriously.)
Cross Country Brewing offers unique flavors in a family-run setting, with standout beverages like the Campfire Brown and wheat beer with orange. Visitors praise the brewery's welcoming atmosphere and excellent beers, making it a must-visit destination in Montana.
