Montana Ale Works
For Montana, By Montana.
We enrich the Montana spirit by sustaining local farmers, ranchers, brewers, distillers, and culinary craftsmen, nourishing residents, travelers, students, families, and organizations.
Farm to Fork Montana Ale Works proudly partners with over fifty farmers, ranchers, and culinary artisans to offer locally-sourced, sustainably grown produce, pasture-raised meats, herbs, mushrooms, and locally crafted cheeses.
Curbed only by the short Montana growing season, our commitment helps limit our food miles from pasture to plate.
Since 2013, we’ve proudly served only Montana pasture-raised beef burgers, sourced exclusively from a cooperative of family ranchers, and since 2010 partnered with Matt & Jacy Rothschiller, organic family farmers just down the road from us at Rocky Creek Farm.
Supporting local, sustainably grown, handcrafted products serves our guests and helps our local artisans and land stewards thrive doing what they love, preserving our rural Montana landscapes and way of life.
Progressive Composting In partnership with Happy Trash Can, Ale Works diverts over a ton of pre-consumer waste from the local landfill in just over a year's time, by transforming it into compost.
"Walk the Walk" Staff Training Knowledge of sourcing, sustainability, craftsmanship and food security is an Ale Works point of pride. Every year, our staff tours our partner farms, ranches, breweries, and distilleries to connect our 140-some employees to the artisans who grow, raise and produce what we serve.
The tours, led by the passionate farmers, ranchers and craftspeople themselves, uncover motivations and methods and create a link between us and our passionate local suppliers. Ale Workers are regularly pop-quizzed on what they know and why it matters to us, to them, to our guests, and to the planet.
By investing in our staff, and our valued producers, we contribute to a resilient Montana economy, and ensure a healthy pipeline of people and products into the future.
Walking the Walk feels right and is good business. Good for the land, good for the community, and good for the spirit!
