We filled two of our growlers, enjoyed the atmosphere and of course the beer. We bought gifts for friends as this was our favorite brewery stop on this trip. More

The food was okay. Standard burger and fries (nothing special, really). The Black Star Brewery wasn't giving tours, but we had a pint of it at Great Northern (the Black Star lager), and it was really bad. Hardly any flavor. The upside was that it was very cheap $2.50. I'm sure the place is more fun at night when there's... More

My co-workers and I wondered into the tasting room after finishing up business while in Whitefish. The gentleman behind the bar asked if we'd like some samples of their brews, and of course we took up his offer. We decided after tasting them to come back later that evening after dinner to check out the pub upstairs. Glad we did.... More

I enjoyed a quick stop at the Great Northern Brewing Company while in Whitefish a couple weeks ago. We stopped in to see what beers and snacks they had to offer. I was really impressed with how nice of a welcome we got when we walked in. We were greeted by the employee working the downstairs tasting bar, he talked... More

Excellent brewery. We went there several times during our trip. It is a good place to grab some beers after being on the slopes all day. We just had beer and chips/salsa so I can't speak to any other menu item. You can see the brewing operations, which is interesting. Seemed like a lot of locals hung out here (good... More

Went in into Whitefish to catch the parade and decided to start at the GNBC and ended up staying for the whole parade. Been going to GNBC since the Schiltz boys worked there and after a period of not going we have been going back more regularly. Just can't seem to stay away from fresh beer! Overall the beer has...

A really cute (can you say that about beer) microbrewery on the mainstreet in Whitefish. Awesome beer and merchandise. I always stop in for a Growler of the Wheatfish :) More
