From the scent of bratwurst, right down to Klaus, the stern mensch dolloping out sauerkraut, Bayern brewery brings a touch of Deutschland to Montana. Bayern Brewing, founded in 1987 and purchased in 1991 by current owner Jürgen Knöller, is the only German brewery in the Rocky Mountains. As part of our Montana breweries tour, S.U.D.S.Y. stopped by Bayern, toured their brewing facilities, and had a brat and a brew.
Bayern had on tap for us their usuals; Pils, Schwarzbier, Amber, Wilbur Weizen, the Dragon’s Breath Dark Hefeweizen, and, the always controversial, Dancing Trout. Their seasonal brews were the Dump Truck Summer Bock and their Märzen, just in time for Oktoberfest! The Oktoberfest was surprisingly dark and especially excellent. A great chat with Jürgen as we were heading out finished off our visit in fine German style.S.U.D.S.Y. marches on.
Prost!
