REMOTE BREWERY CLOSING DOWN

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with DeShazer Ryan Realty

Lang Creek Brewery of Marion, Montana-- touted as the most remote brewery in the world is closing .

I was on my way back from Kalispell, Montana along US Highway 2 today and saw a sign-- hand-written-- kinda like a yard sale sign that simply said Land Creek Brewery is closing- stop by for closing sale.  Well; Always curious I turned down the dirt road, crossed a small Land Creek and a little later went into the Tap Room. It was true-- the lady said most of the beer was sold .  It seemed like a sad end to a micro brewery that was apparently just too far off the beaten tract.  They did sell a couple glasses of ale at the bar and hey -- I bought a shirt!

It is sad to see the end of someone's dream.

But it was a sunny day, the old ranch was beautiful and apparently for sale for $700,000. ( OF COURSE I ASKED--I AM A REALTOR).

Any day a brewery closes is a sad day, so did you drink a beer.

That beer looks pretty good, even though I like mine a little darker.  We have some local brews that are going like gangbusters here in Billings.  My favorite is "dog slobber" from Hanks.

It's to bad to see a business shut down. I hope you will get the listing.

Sounds like a beautiful setting for a brewery. It is always hard to see someones dream go belly up. I hope the beer was good!
