January 2012 Happenings

Happy New Year from Beaver Creek Brewery!

2011 was an exciting year for us, and 2012 is looking good, too! A few highlights…

  • We once again increased our production, from 406 bbls (barrels) in 2010 to 651 bbls in 2011.
  • In September 2011, our Paddlefish Stout won the Gold Pedal Award at Ales for Trails in Billings. There were more than 20 breweries, 58 beers and 1100 people on hand. This is a people’s choice award… we appreciate your support!
  • At the beginning of January 2012 BCB was voted “Favorite Brewery in Montana” on www.facebook.com/mtbeer. Again, thank you for supporting the Beaver!
  • With some new equipment, we are RAMPING UP our capacity in February, from 4.5 bbl to 10 bbl. That means more Beaver to go around!

You won’t find it on any calendar, but 2012 is the Year Of The Beaver!

“I was a fan right away,” he said. “I love what David was doing then and I love what he’s doing now. He’s underrated.”
