Craig Taphouse

The Craig Taphouse, 161 Leonard Street, opened in May in Craig.

The taphouse is south off Bridge Street and was made with the angler and floater in mind, according to Riley Tubbs, one of the owners.

“We have rotating beer from Montana breweries alongside wine, ciders and other non-alcoholic beverages. Plus, we are beyond excited to have Montana Reds food truck outside for some tasty locally sourced burgers and fries. Ten Mile Creek Brewery shares the building, with their soon to be second location, with us and is working towards brewing some exclusive small batch beers on location as soon as July. The taphouse is open 2ish to 10ish daily,” Tubbs said.
