Allagash and Dogfish Head in Missoula!

As I headed to a happenin’ downtown spot in good ol’ Missoula I came across a place that seemed to have a decent wine and beer selection so I stepped inside. It is quite a mix of crap in there. It appears to be a deli, perhaps a bakery, somewhat a grocer, with a decent wine selection, and holy crap do that have sweet beer. I’ve been going to Missoula for a few years now for work and what a bitch I haven’t found this place earlier. Not only do they have the best selection around of regional brews, but they also shocked me with a few familiars. They had bottles of Dogfish Head's Red & White, Black & Blue, and Chateau Jiahu! I have serious trouble finding Red & White on the east coast (Dogfish Head is a Delaware brewery for you non-beer geeks). I had no idea Dogfish Head distributed out to Montana. Not only that but it was a few dollars cheaper out here in the middle of nowhere than in DC! Of course I bought a bottle. They also had one Allagash bottle; the Interlude. Apparently it is the first in the oak aged series. I haven’t seen that around DC at all.

I’ll be stopping by Worden's at least once a visit to Missoula. Lots of new fine regional beers to sample.

I still love that Big Sky IPA though.
