Madison River Brewing Company is located in Southwestern Montana’s Gallatin Valley, Belgrade. This outdoorsman’s paradise is within an hour of great skiing or biking in the Bridger Mountains or Big Sky area, amazing hikes in one of seven mountain ranges, or fishing trips in world-class rivers. In fact, the Madison River has earned the reputation as one of the best places to fly-fish in the world.
Madison River Brewing Company, Inc. started in 2004 when Brewmaster/President Howard McMurry purchased the brewery and equipment from Moab Brewing. At that time, they contract-brewed for Moab, Park City, and Big Hole breweries. In 2005, Madison River Brewing Company emerged when they received a state license to brew their own brands.
Salmon Fly Honey Rye is a 5.6% ABV year round beer from Madision River. The malted barley used in this unique brew is complemented by the subtle spiciness of rye. Bittering and flavor hop additions help keep this brew extremely balanced. In addition, there is a mild sweetness that dulls any overwhelming rye or hop flavor derived from the pure local Montana honey. These ingredients blend together to create a lighter bodied drinking experience for all kinds of beer drinkers.
