Brewery Profile

Tamarack Brewing Co

In Missoula’s beer scene, Tamarack Brewing Co. is a brewery-pub with roots that predate its Missoula location. The company was established in 2007 in Lakeside, Montana, with the aim of building a family business around craft beer and pub food, then expanded to Missoula in 2011. A visitor walking in should understand it as part of a larger Tamarack story rather than a standalone neighborhood taproom. The Missoula location was created to offer the same general combination of beer and food as the original. Its public identity also puts emphasis on community and staff, with employees collectively referred to as the “Tam Fam.” That gives the place a practical role for visitors: a stop where the brewery experience is tied to a full pub setting.

Travelers in western Montana often look for beer stops that fit around casual meals, road trips, and outdoor plans rather than formal tasting itineraries. Tamarack’s own mission describes its beer as suited to different occasions, from gatherings with friends to outdoor activities, which places it in that regional rhythm. The known history also points to growth over time: production increased from 380 barrels in its first year to 4,400 barrels more than a decade later. That figure gives visitors some context for the brewery’s scale without saying anything about specific beers, awards, or specialties. If you are comparing Missoula breweries, this is a stop to consider when you want craft beer in a pub-food setting and a business with a longer Montana history behind it.

For planning purposes, the confirmed amenities are beer and pub food, with the Missoula site operating as an expansion of the original Lakeside brewery. Specific current beer names, serving formats, kitchen hours, patio availability, reservations, family policies, and event schedules are not established here, so the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours and visit details. It is also worth checking directly before making it the anchor of a trip, especially if your plans depend on food service or a particular tap list. Visitors who prefer a brewery stop with a meal built in may find the format straightforward, while those focused on rare releases or a specific style should verify what is available that day.

Established in 2007, Tamarack Brewing Co. originated with the goal of creating a family business centered around craft beer and pub food. Initially located in Lakeside, Montana, the brewery expanded to Missoula in 2011, offering the same selection of beers and food. Production grew from 380 barrels in its first year to 4,400 barrels over a decade later. Tamarack Brewing Co. emphasizes community engagement, serving customers and employing a dedicated staff collectively known as the "Tam Fam." The brewery champions a mission to produce craft beer suited for various occasions, from casual gatherings to outdoor activities.
