It’s no secret, Bozeman has numerous amazing breweries that produce stellar beer! The ingenuity and long-standing excellence of Bozeman’s breweries made an impression on a young MSU attendee and sparked an ambitious goal to join the local beer scene and strive to bring Bozeman more outstanding beer. Last Best Place Brewing Company was born from the love of a good beer and a zeal for creating something new and delicious. Owner Colin Ruh-Kirk, an avid home-brewer and fan of the local beer offerings, joined forces with his long-time friend and fellow beer nerd, Head Brewer Will Thompson, for one simple task: help folks enjoy beer! LBP exists to explore new flavors, new ingredients and to make your next favorite brew.
The name, a nod to our beloved state’s unofficial motto of being the “Last Best Place”, solutes the brewery’s fundamentals, tied to the state and its history, deeply rooted in agriculture, solid values and hard work. We’re proud to partner with farmers in Gallatin County, and around the state of Montana, to keep things local and source as much of our ingredients as possible from Montana farms and businesses. We think it just tastes better when grown and brewed in the Last Best Place!
We’re passionate about beer and look forward to sharing one with you soon!
