Great Burn Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Missoula MT)

Great Burn Brewing sits on the south side of Missoula, Montana, and it’s the sort of place that makes you wonder whether the locals have been sneaking in secret brewing lessons from the gods. The taproom feels more like a well‑kept public house than a pretentious showpiece, and a 10‑barrel system whirs away behind the bar, cranking out hop‑forward IPAs, crisp pale ales, velvety porters and even a surprisingly refreshing hard seltzer. Eight of the twelve taps are devoted to rotating seasonal and specialty brews, so you’re never stuck with the same old thing—one minute you might be sipping a coconut‑kissed porter, the next a smoky, almost camp‑fire‑like version of the same classic.

The outdoor covered patio (perfect for watching a dog chase its own tail while you taste the latest award‑winning batch) adds a relaxed, Montana‑flavoured vibe, and live music slots keep the atmosphere lively without ever feeling forced. Friendly staff, a genuine love of craftsmanship, and a willingness to experiment make Great Burn a gem worth revisiting, whether you’re a hop aficionado or simply after a solid, well‑balanced pint.
