8 Must-Try Microbrews

MADISON RIVER COPPER JOHN SCOTCH ALE
(Montana, Est. Calories: 210, ABV: 7%)

Up in Big Sky Country, Madison River brewers use the finest smoked malt for flavor complexity, and then combine it with roasted barley and caramel malts for a rich distinctive and smoky flavor (“but not too smoky – just enough,” says Nevins). The ingredients give it a deep, dark color with a smooth, rich finish that is surprisingly drinkable. “It was created for fly fisherman and fisherwomen to enjoy out on the stream, and has an amazing combination of flavors and drinkability.”
