10 Hoppy Years of Draught Works

By Danielle Brooker

Time flies when you’re drinking good beer! 10 years ago, we opened our doors to the Missoula community for the first time. Since then, Draught Works won the 2014 Very Small Brewing Company and Very Small Brewing Company Brewer of the Year by GABF, and has been voted Best Brewery in Missoula since 2018.

Recently, ‘That’s What She Said’ Cream Ale won Gold in both the Can Can Awards and the North American Brewers Association Beer Awards. White Witting, a seasonal on tap, won Silver at the North American Brewers Association Beer Awards in the Belgian-Style Wit category as well. Draught Works Brewery prides itself on offering an array of seasonals in the taproom, from sours to barley wine, there is something for everyone. There are also hard seltzers available and root beer for the kiddos.

Draught Works (“Draft Works”) began brewing in Missoula in October 2011. The brewery was built by founders, Jeff Grant and Paul Marshall, by redeveloping a 1931 former grocery warehouse and recycling center. Everything from the bar, barstools, doors, tables, and flooring once served a different life before being reclaimed into Draught Works’ taproom and brewery.

This industrial spirit has driven Draught Works to build better beers and produce a consistent line of craft ales and lagers. And just as draught beer is the epitome of fresh beer, the brewers at Draught Works work diligently to guarantee only the finest product leaves their brewery, one that reflects their passion for quality and the spirit of hard work.

We are throwing a party on October 2nd, 2021, to show the Missoula community how much we appreciate the continued support over the years. The festivities will go from 12pm-9pm, with free food (while it lasts!) from your favorite Missoula food trucks, axe throwing by Lookout Throwing, Steer Chip Bingo by Lucky U Cattle (where Draught Works’ spent grain goes), live music by Rosie Cerquone, 10 IPA’s on tap, giveaways and much more. Join us October 2nd, and let’s raise a glass to 10 great years in Missoula!
