Muddy Creek Brewing in Butte, MT, USA is like coming home...if your home was up some creaky stairs to a huge airy echoing historic loft above an empty street in a once-bustling old downtown....like mine was. Anyhow, once you make it up the stairs and turn left (a right turn takes you into a wine and martini bar), if you are lucky enough to get Andy as your bartender, you are an immediate regular. Which is a good thing, because the beers here are fantastic, no matter the style or ABV. I had a flight of four of my own choosing (I had limited time and had to drive back to another nearby town for the night) for a paltry fiver, and recall being most impressed by a style I usually avoid: a pumpkin beer!

Read moreA very good brewery, good atmosphere, great beers, great staff... don't listen to the fool who gave this place a one star review because of cards against humanity... it's just another example of "cancel culture" at it's worst... just becaue something offends you, doesn't mean you should try to destroy a businesses ratings. the same person also reviewed Best Buy as 1 of their total of 3 reviews, so I say, CHEER UP A BIT MAN!

I love this place, the staff here go out of their way to make you feel welcome, even to make you feel like family... this is is a good place, one of the most welcoming places I've ever...
Read moreThis place has gone down hill. Took a growler of the chocolate stout home and it taste absolutely terrible. I couldn’t finish it, and I’ll drink most anything. The staff decided it would be appropriate to play cards against humanity. They read the cards over an intercom to the entire brewery. I play the game at home with close friend, but when complete strangers are reading the twisted things on those cards in an establishment that is supposed to be family friendly it’s more than awkward. Elderly people were in the brewery and I can only imagine what they were thinking. I’m just glad no children were present. I hope this place...
