Discover the difference. The Beer: Brewed with an emphasis on hops, the combination of Montana pale ale crystal, and dextrin malts provide the setting for a smooth, balanced pale with great body. The addition of plenty of Northwest hops both in the kettle and a nice dose of dry hopping create a virtuoso hop performance. Named for the Prickly Pear Cactus found in the north Helena valley and encountered by Lewis & Clark as they portaged around the Great Falls of the Missouri. this beer is actually brewed with Real Prickly Pear Cactus! The Brewery: The great explorers are the inspiration for our name, and in many ways, our brewing style. It's also where we live as we are located along their trail - in the heart of the only Lewis & Clark County in the US. Our secret ingredient is the pride and craftsmanship of dedicated folks lucky enough to be called Montanans. Microcanning: On top of saving energy, resources and money, beer stays fresher longer in cans, since there is no light passing through. Aluminum cans are also the most recycled package worldwide and use a fraction of the energy used to produce, ship and recycle glass. Aluminum cans are lighter, more portable and require less energy to cool down, so you can enjoy cold beer more quickly - anywhere.
