Eric Gets a Beer Flight at Lewis & Clark Brewery in Helena, Montana

The Lewis & Clark Brewing Co.
has a parking lot for visitors.

Meriwether Lewis & William Clark,

Co-Commanders of the

Corps of Discovery, welcome the public.

We walk past brewing

equipment.

The tables are made

with beer barrels.

Lewis & Clark Brewing Co.

has a Gallery.

There's a lot of space here

for beer connoisseurs. 

The ceilings & walls are 

heavily constructed.

The ceilings are made with heavy beams and the walls are stone.  I wonder what this building was used for before the Brewing Company .

Accolades for Lewis &

Clark beers.

Eric studies the blackboard

& makes choices for his

customized beer flight. 

Eric's beer flight included:

Yellowstone Golden Ale, 

Miner's Gold Hefeweizen, 

Prickly Pear Pale Ale & 

Lewis & Clark Amber

The descriptions are helpful when sampling beers.

The draft beer tower reminds

me of gas pipes

we've seen in farmers' fields.

While Eric sips beer I ask about the history of this building.  This 125 year old building started as a smokehouse.  Over time, it expanded and was used as an icehouse, (a jail -  corrected by Curt Synness)  a warehouse and a paint factory before Lewis and Clark Brewing Company started operations here.  

Independent Record Sports Reporter Curt Synness added a comment on the history of the Lewis and Clark Brewery.  He's done extensive research on the building and it was not used at a jail.  Thanks for correcting me on this misconception.

Eric sent me the photo he

took in the Men's Room.

The brewery theme is

 everywhere...
