Montana’s Beer Industry: A Growing Economic Powerhouse
Montana is home to almost 100 craft breweries, making it one of the top states in the nation for breweries per capita. Montana-grown barley, often referred to as some of the highest quality in the world, is a key ingredient in these locally brewed beers. The craft beer industry not only supports local farmers but also contributes to the state’s economy and provides thousands of jobs across brewing, distribution, and hospitality sectors.
