Brewery Profile

Tamarack Brewing Co

In Lakeside’s craft beer scene, Tamarack Brewing Co. stands out as an established brewery with roots going back to 2007. It began as a family-driven venture built around craft beer and pub food, and that combination remains central to what a visitor can expect: a brewery setting where the beer and the food menu are part of the same experience. The company’s growth from 380 barrels in its first year to 4,400 barrels annually over the following decade gives some context for its place in Montana brewing, but the public-facing identity is still tied to a local, social atmosphere. Tamarack refers to its patrons and staff as the “Tam Fam,” a phrase that reflects its emphasis on community as much as production.

Travelers in this part of Montana often look for stops that fit around time outdoors, road trips, and casual meals with a group. Tamarack’s stated mission centers on making beers suited to outdoor and social occasions, which helps explain why it works as a post-activity stop rather than only a destination for beer specialists. The known lineup includes Headwall Double IPA, which received recognition as the 2016 Alpha King Champion, but visitors should not assume the full tap list without checking what is pouring that day. For those comparing Montana breweries, Tamarack also has a Missoula location that opened in 2011 and offers the same menu and beer lineup, giving the company a presence beyond Lakeside.

For a practical visit, plan around the Lakeside taproom as the place to confirm the day’s pours, food availability, hours, and any current service details. The brewery is known for pairing its beer with pub food, but specific amenities, seating arrangements, events, and seasonal offerings are not established here. Visitors interested in a particular beer should verify availability before making a special trip, especially if looking for Headwall Double IPA or another specific style. If Lakeside is part of a broader western Montana itinerary, Tamarack can serve as a straightforward brewery stop with food, beer, and a local history that dates to the late 2000s.

Founded in 2007, Tamarack Brewing Company began as a family-driven venture with the goal of creating craft beer and pub food in Lakeside, Montana. Over its first year, the brewery produced 380 barrels of beer, expanding to 4,400 barrels annually over the following decade. Tamarack also operates a location in Missoula, opened in 2011, offering the same menu and beer lineup. The brewery's mission centers on producing craft beers suited to various outdoor and social occasions, while fostering a sense of community among patrons and staff known as the "Tam Fam." Notably, Tamarack's Headwall Double IPA received recognition as a 2016 Alpha King Champion.
