Billings Craft Beer Week is Calling. What’s On Tap for 2025
It's all about the micro's this May in Billings.
Montana loves our craft beers. Every town bigger than a dot on a map seems to have a brewery, and our larger communities have several. Billings has nearly a dozen, and the Magic City is home to Montana's largest "brewery trail." Craft Beer Week is May 11-17, and it's a great time to explore our local breweries.
Data released from the Montana Brewers Association in 2017 noted some interesting facts.
- Montana ranks 2nd in the US for breweries per capita.
- Over 2,700 Montanans are employed in the brewery industry.
- Montana brewers produced 188,449 barrels of beer in 2017. There are 248 pints in a barrel of beer. I'll do the math for you... That's over 46.7 million pints of beer. Wow.
