Vorfreude Vienna Lager
ABV: 5.2% IBU: 24
Released to celebrate American Craft Beer Week 2017, Vorfreude, is our take on a Vienna Lager. Medium-bodied, with a light amber color, this brew has a balance of malt and hops that create a crisp, slightly sweet and dry pint. "Vorfreude" (vor-FROY-duh) is a German word with no English equivalent. Definition: The intense, anticipative joy derived from imaging future pleasures. Prost!

Practice Makes Pilsner German-style Pilsner
ABV: 5.7% IBU: 25
With practice and patience a lovely pilsner can be achieved. A light, refreshing and crisp lager that is meant to be enjoyed on the streets of Philipsburg while the sun shines (which it does over 300 days a year 'round here).

Ropeswing Saison
ABV: 5.7% IBU: 22
This refreshing beer style originated in the farmhouses of France and Belgium, where field workers would quench their thirst after a long day with a light, refreshing, yet complex pint. The amazing depth of flavor in this simple beer comes from French yeast that contributes pepper, clove, and fruit flavors along with subtle tartness.

Corners Porter Coffee Porter
OG: 1064 ABV: 6.6% IBU: 65
Breakfast beer, anyone? Our robust porter is a classic of the style, exhibiting strong roasted and chocolate notes with a minimal hop presence. By itself, it is a smooth yet powerful porter that easily satisfies any fan of the black arts. It is well known, however, that great beer takes great coffee, so we decided to combine this perfect porter with our other favorite beverage! We talked to Black Coffee Roasting Company of Missoula and they were sympathetic to our cause. We used four gallons of their cold-brewed coffee toddy in the serving tank and soaked five pounds of grounds for twenty-four hours to give this beer a distinct but subtle coffee flavor and aroma. Porter's Corner was a little bar down the highway where none other than Charlie Pride used to strum his guitar. Here's to you, Charlie!

Badfinger Imperial Stout
OG: 1100 ABV: 10% IBU: 10
Named by the ski patrollers who keep the gnarly backside of Discovery Basin safe for mere mortals, this hefty beer showcases roast barley and Cascade hops in an avalanche-inducing explosion of flavor. Like pockets of untouched powder between fallen trees and enormous boulders, you can find aromas of chocolate, coffee, caramel, and raisin stashed among roasty, sweet overtones.

Danke Dunkelweizen
ABV: 4.9% IBU: 20
Danke Dunkelweizen is our informal take on a German style dark wheat beer. It's light, it's creamy, it's malty. At only 4.9% and 20 IBU, this is an easy drinker. Danke for asking.

There and Back Again Dark Mild
ABV: 3.8% IBU: 19
This session ale is reminiscent of 17th century days spent in a British pub, where the low alcohol would allow for patrons to have a “session” of beer drinking. The term “mild” refers to the lack of hop presence. This smooth, light-bodied ale is focused heavily on the malt profile giving a grainy, bready flavor and a darker color to boot.

McGuffin IPA Series
ABV: 6.2% IBU: 87
Current offering: West Coast-Style IPA
Plot twist: We just tapped an IPA and it's here to stay...sort of.

Follow along as the brewers change the IPA with each batch to experiment with malt, hops, methods of hopping and more to create a constantly changing IPA that will always keep the same name.

Incarcerator Dopplebock
ABV: 8.2% IBU: 20
With its chocolate, malty characteristics, the Incarcerator Doppelbock is a traditional German lager that goes down smooth. But don’t be fooled, doppels traditionally pack a prison-style punch of 7-9% ABV and ours is no different. As a nod to the original doppelbock, Ayinger “Celebrator”, most breweries use the suffix “-ator”. The original batch was brewed on the 100th anniversary of the Granite County Court House, hence the name. Be warned, small town charm can only get you so far after a couple Incarcerators.

5 Phantoms Pumpkin Spice Barleywine
OG: 1084 ABV: 8.5% IBU: 20
With a mesmerizing spiciness and intense malt flavor, 5 Phantoms Pumpkin Spice Barley Wine is a rich beer with a deep autumn amber color. The name comes from the five basic ingredients: water, barley, hops, yeast & spice. But don’t be fooled, we use a long list of spices to create this enchanting, complex flavor including vanilla, ginger, nutmeg, mace, cardamom and two kinds of cinnamon, all of which are procured at Butterfly Herb in Missoula. We use 3 types of pumpkin squash from Grogan’s Harvest and comes in on the low end of Barley Wines at 8.5% ABV. Don’t wait to try 5 Phantoms, it tends to vanish with the first sign of the new year.

Irish Twins, a Session Irish Red Ale, is a sister beer to our friends at Draught Works Brewing in the big city of Missoula, theirs being an Imperial Red. Our twin is a highly drinkable beer that’s true to style in that it’s malt-focused and dry, yet we scaled the ABV back to make it your new go-to day drinking brew. Notes of bread and caramel are present with a
dryness due to the roasted malts. It has a slightly sweet and very clean finish. Here’s to great brews and better friends. Slainte!

Czech One-Two Czech Style Pilsner
OG 1056 ABV: 5.6% IBU: 25
Here at the Philipsburg Brewing Company, we love live music and enjoy supporting the artists who grace “the mezz” every weekend. Czech One-Two is a crisp Czech-style pilsner with a distinctly American twist: more alcohol, more hops and lots of delicious malt flavor. The city of Pilsen in the Czech Republic is famed for its light beers, made possible because of the nearly mineral-free water the brewers have at their disposal. P-burg’s municipal water, drawn from cold, pure Fred Burr Lake and blended with a touch of mineral water from Silver Spring mimics the Pilsen water almost perfectly. Cheers to beer and cheers to live music!

Black Pine IPA
OG: 1060 ABV: 6.5% IBU: 70
This "Cascadian Dark Ale" is a first for Philipsburg Brewing Company. Characterized by very dark color with lots of hops, Black IPAs are a hybrid style, blending the best aspects of IPA and Stout to deliver a smooth, dark, hoppy beer with minimal malt presence. Our Black Pine IPA is a tribute to the Wilderness Act of 1964, and showcases the roasty character of roasted wheat and de-husked roasted barley and the piney notes of Centennial, Chinook, and Nugget hops.

Don't Call Me Honey Saison
Part of the Pink Boots Society Big Boots Brew Day.
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 22
Don’t Call Me Honey Saison is brewed with sage and Kate’s Honey - from just down the valley in Hall, Montana. In its final days, the brew was dry-herbed with angelica, pink peppercorns, and more sage. The outcome is new take on a traditional Saison with a zesty aroma and slightly more sweetness that highlights the clove and vanilla notes that emerge from the yeast strain used.
On March 8th, International Women’s Day, nearly two dozen women from the Montana beer scene gathered at Philipsburg Brewing Company for Pink Boots Society’s (PBS) Big Boots Brew. It was a day of collaboration, inspiration, and, best of all, women drinking and making beer together. Pink Boots Society is an international organization that assists, inspires, and encourages women beer professionals through education. The Big Boots Brew is facilitated annually though PBS throughout the world as a particular recipe or beer style, yet this was the first time the state of Montana hosted a brew. The Montana rendition honors women by blending the sweetness of honey, earthiness and versatility of sage, feminine qualities of angelica, and the fierceness of the pink peppercorn, to create the perfect flavor and right amount of sass for Don't Call Me Honey Saison.
A portion of the proceeds from this brew will be donated back to Pink Boots Society to support their scholarship efforts, which has and continues to benefit women from Montana and women worldwide alike.

Silver Chief IPA
OG: 1064 ABV: 7.6% IBU: 65
Our summer IPA is dry hopped with copious amounts of a combination of hard to get whole leaf hops (Amarillo, Citra & Mosaic) that give it a dank citrus and tropical fruit aroma. A solid malt backbone gives just enough sweetness to carry the bitterness of Cascade and Chinook hops, as well as the 7.6% ABV. Named after the chair lift that brings mountain bike riders to the top of the backside of Discovery Ski Basin this IPA will give you reason to bomb down the trails for another pint.
NewlyRed Double Red
OG: 1068 ABV: 6.9% IBU: 80
Our first single-hop beer, NewlyRed is a battle royale of Centennial hops smashed up against a huge malt profile derived from generous amounts of caramel, Munich, and melanoidin malt. The rich red color is a hint of the massive malt flavor, and the piney, minty aroma is a suggestion of the power of one of the most popular hops in craft brewing. Far from being angry at sharing the same glass, however, these two titans of beer from opposite ends of the flavor spectrum combine their powers and let the drinker know the beautiful potential of cooperation.
