Montana is such a sick state! I have some experience in Missoula and did some snowboarding up in Whitefish. If you hit Missoula check out a cool bar called The Rhino. If you drink beer they have 50 on tap including a personal favourite "Bong Water". The tap is an actual bong!
There is also an awesome restaurant called Guys LoLo Steakhouse i think...i'm dating myself a decade, but sure were some good times! That place has some amazingly massive cocktail shrimp appies!
I don't remember. I was at some microbrewery/restaurant in Portland about 10 years ago (dressed just like that guy up there in the picture), and the bartender handed me a jar of hops. Smelled amazing. That's as much as I remember.
