Open 7 days a week! Sunday -Thursday: 11am-8pm, and Friday and Saturday: 11am-9 pm. (Winter hours vary).

The brewery is a family style restaurant that serves lunch and dinner.  Always on tap are house crafted brews: American Pilsner, a light beer with a mild malt flavor; Huckleberry Wheat, a local and regional favorite with Huckleberry undertones; Grizzly IPA, an ale with a full hop flavor and citrus undertone; and Porter, a bold dark ale with chocolate undertones. KRBC’s Award winning McGregor Scottish Ale is on tap with a malty, rich and dominantly caramel flavor and aroma. We have seasonal, special brews on tap that vary during the year and by the season.  All of our beer is brewed with a combination of locally grown North Idaho Hops, as well as hops from around the globe; fresh Selkirk Mountain creek water, and local malt barley pending availability.
