Glacier Brewing Co — Restaurant in Polson

I really surprised by how high the ratings are for this brewery. If you take a look at my reviews we visit lots of breweries and for us, this one did not impress. We were excited to try it because it had a dog friendly outside beer garden and dog friendly always gets a thumbs up from us. The theme inside is ok, and old saloon feel, but we did not experience a friendly warm welcome here at all. Not even from the server behind the bar. We went out to the garden area since we had the dog and then went back in to order a sampler tray. The server didn't tell us anything about the beers, the brewery history.... zero. I asked for our sampler tray to be split in half, lights first so that they wouldn't get warm before we finished in the outside hot sun. She poured them starting at one end of the taps with no regard to lighter beers first.... maybe she didn't hear me. I didn't complain because I was on vacation and I really like to keep to mood light on vacation. Tasting the beers nothing really was good to us. In fact we thought about just leaving after the taster. But we decided to have one pint and since the Cherry Ale was so unusual I went with that.... I can't even remember what the Mr picked. Outside in the garden the area is very rundown. It could be a great outside area since it is so big, but they hadn't even trimmed weeds with a wacker, tables were all wobbly, etc. And the final turnoff has nothing to do with the establishment, but 2 smokers came outside and literally sat right next to us to smoke..... a completely empty garden and they sat down right next to us. Overall we just did not enjoy our visit as much as we hoped. Probably would...

Walked in building seemed cool and was neat. Walked up to the bar there was no beer menu like on the wall or anything. The server came over asked what we wanted we we're trying to read the taps from across the bar. Had to ask the server if there was some sort of menu somewhere and she grabbed us one. Got a sample tray the server filled the whole thing never speaking to us. We went and sat down and never heard from the server again. There was 2 of us and only 2 other people in the brewery. None of the beer we're great or even good got the sample tray and left cause we got zero service server was laying her head down on the bar to rest the other two in the brewery were clearly locals and friends of hers. Wouldn't...
