It’s no secret that we have come to love our craft beer scene here in Montana. There must be something in our (perfect) water, because Montana brews simply taste better than the rest. And if you love both beer and dogs, you’ll be thrilled to know that the Treasure State has a few excellent dog-friendly breweries.

But it’s rare that you’ll find fantastic beer, delicious food, and a dog-friendly beer garden all in one setting. Fortunately, Bonsai Brewing Project just opened up for the season, and it has all three.

Bonsai Brewing Project is located in Whitefish, and it's a favorite hangout for both locals and tourists.

Believe it or not, this small craft brewery is capable of producing over 500 barrels per year.

The focus here is on high-quality small-batch beers, and they're incredible.
You can drink and dine indoors—but if the weather is right, you'll have a lot more fun in the outdoor beer garden.
