Join us for a guided tour through the Flathead Valley’s award-winning craft beer scene! We are passionate about craft beer, but we are also passionate about showcasing the people behind the beer and breweries that the Valley has to offer. We’ve partnered with all the local breweries in Whitefish, Kalispell, Columbia Falls, and the Flathead Lake area to provide you an experience you won’t get anywhere else! You came for the scenery, but you’ll never forget your first Montana microbrew. Now offering guided winery tours, too!
Jody and Britteny started off as skiing, traveling, and beer-drinking buddies before they had the crazy idea of starting their own craft brew tour company. After many long discussions (over beers of course), they partnered with Brews Cruise, Inc. who have successfully operated in many locations across the country. Along with Jody’s trusty dog, Hank, the three of them embarked on a journey to showcase the Flathead Valley’s amazing craft beer scene with locals and tourists alike! Read our FAQ and Policies here.
Enjoy a warm welcome, a frosty glass, and cool companions. Join us as a lone explorer, or bring your favorite pack of goofballs along for the ride.
Come along for a fun way to learn about how beer is made with a behind-the-scenes look at a brewery and a wide variety of great beer included at each stop!
Clink glasses, see the sights, and expand your beer palate while we drive! Can you think of a better way to spend your day? We didn’t think so.

– Tracy L., TripadvisorBig Sky Brews Cruise is the best way to experience the local beer scene in the Whitefish area. We were staying in Columbia Falls and made the short drive to Whitefish to meet Brittney. She took us to visit breweries in Kalispell, which we would have never visited due to time. Brittney was very knowledgeable about the beer making process and the local beer scene. It is a great tour! One you will not want to miss!

– emmalovesgoodfood, TripadvisorJody's tour was amazing. Her knowledge of the unique breweries' attributes enhanced each location's visit. Her challenge - and she accepted it - was to find something for me to enjoy at each of the three locations. Ha! Who knew brewers can make alcoholic kombucha and daiquiris!?! Enjoy! Sit back and let Jody do the driving while you enjoy Kalispell's craft breweries!

Fun times.
– 625LauraC625, TripadvisorJody was incredible!!! She was so friendly and easy to talk to. She was very knowledgeable and it’s easy to tell she truly enjoys what she does. My biggest concern beforehand was hanging out with other couples we didn’t know for 4 hours. We ended up having great conversations and plan to stay in touch. Every brewery we went to had a great vibe and as a new beer drinker…I loved every beer I tried. I highly recommend this tour!
