Quarry Brewing Competitors

At KettleHouse Brewing Co., our mission is to match the quality of our beers to the quality of the Montana outdoor experience. Put in beer geek parlance: We live to pair our world-class beers with Montana’s world-class outdoors. By handcrafting the highest quality premium beers that convey our passion for an active Montana outdoor lifestyle, and preserving that lifestyle for generations to come by striving for carbon neutrality, we expect to grow a community of beer drinkers and thinkers that can help cool our warming world. KettleHouse encourages waste free consumption of our award-winning beers through growlers offered as to-go options at both taprooms. KettleHouse cans are environmentally friendly too; they are 100% recyclable (unlike glass) and are easier to take with you on outdoor adventures, especially on Montana’s rivers where glass is illegal. Our boxes contain the highest amount of post-consumer recycled materials that we could find, and in every step of the process, we strive to reduce, reuse or recycle. The use of Montana-grown two-row barley, malted in Great Falls, MT, cuts back on excess shipping and transportation needs while supporting local agri-businesses. The spent grain generated through the brewing process is given to local farmers to feed livestock (one local pig’s favorite food is Cold Smoke® spent grain mixed with Montana Lifeline Dairy whey), and a small portion is given to Missoula’s Le Petite Outré Bakery where they make Brewer’s Spent Grain Bread. We even reuse water; the hot water generated by quickly cooling hot wort is used to start the next beer. We follow the mantra: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Here at Big Sky we don’t just talk about work life balance it is at the core of who we are. Basically, we want to keep growing, providing good wages and working environments to our employees, and having fun running a great company. We make water fun!
