I've only clicked off seven months since my final brew from the Last Best Place. Then I caught site of this photo and I instantly charge back to nights in Bozeman knocking back a few Yellowstone Valley brews and talking life with my old friend Athens. He'd finish his shift at the TV station, and we'd adjourn to the balcony.
This was one of the more unique ales on my last venture in September 2010. A computer-thumb drive conflict swallowed up my review, but I remember savoring this fine ale from Billings.
With six malts including a dash of devilish wheat paired with Cascade and Magnum hops, it scored high on both the drinkability and flavor scales.
Montana Quarterly did an excellent article about the culture that sprouted around Yellowstone Valley's brew-garage taproom in Billings, and whenever my next dash below the Big Sky occurs, it's on the hit list.
