The restaurant is open every Wednesday through Sunday and our Tap Room is open on Monday afternoon with a limited menu.

“The Brewery” includes a full-scale dining room that provides great food for everyone with our amazing, updated menu. Local favorites from the menu include our hand pressed burgers, beer battered fish and chips, baby back ribs and house fried potato chips. Many of our dressings and sauces are made right here in the kitchen. When the weather is nice, our outdoor seating area opens with a deck and patio seating in the hopyard. We are looking forward to some fun, new additions to our outdoor area in 2022. While here, you are sure to enjoy a round of cornhole and sidewalk chalk for the kids while having a beer around the open fire-pit after a great meal. We host several events in the hopyard throughout the year, including live music, a rib cook-off and cornhole tournaments. We welcome the community and visitors to join us for Kootenai River Days activities, Oktoberfest, and more! We book private events and host large parties on a reservation basis. Our brew house, visible from the dining room, is currently operating to produce several excellent craft-beer styles. Come, experience the flavor profiles of Osprey Pilsner, Huckleberry Wheat, Grizzly IPA, McGregor Scottish Ale, which won two awards in the Great American Beer Contest, Black Mountain Porter, and our Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout. New brews are being added to our menu often, stop in for a taste! We also serve several beers and hard ciders from other Northwest Breweries as well as Cutwater Spirits, Hard Ciders and Hard Seltzers.
