Is your patio open year-round?
General FAQ's
Why can I only have 48oz of beer?
Per Montana state law, our brewery license only allows us to serve 48oz (which equals 3 pints) of beer per person per day.
Do you sell other beer/wine/liquor/cider or non alcoholic beer?
Also per Montana state law, our brewery license only allows us to serve MAP beers brewed on our premises, so we cannot serve any cider, liquor, wine, or beer from other breweries. We do have a variety of non-alcoholic soft drinks, have started brewing non-alcoholic beers, and often have our house-made hop water on tap!
Are you dog friendly?
No dogs allowed. As much as we love our furry friends, dogs are NOT permitted inside the brewery or out on the patio, with the exception of ADA certified service animals.
Are you hiring?
To be considered for hire at MAP, please stop by the taproom with your resume and ask to speak with a manager.
Do you offer food on the patio?
This summer, we are serving our full menu on our patio. All tables on the patio are full service and are seated by our host. We also are proud to announce that we've expanded our outdoor space with a new beer garden and outdoor bar. The beer garden area is beer only, however, and those adirondack chairs are all open seating.
Can I make a reservation?
We do not take reservations at MAP. We use an online waitlist system to facilitate seating. Add yourself to our waitlist here, or call the taproom at (406) 587-4070 to speak with a host about seating.
I'm coming in with a large group, what should I do?
Please call ahead for all groups of 8 or more. If you come in with a large group without calling ahead, your wait time will be increased as we won't be able to plan ahead for your group. We do not split checks for groups of 8 or more, and an automatic gratuity of 20% will be added to the bill. Groups over 15 are challenging for our space, but we're happy to seat your large group at a couple of different tables if you're open to that!
Are you open on holidays?
MAP is open from 11:30am-8:00pm 7 days a week with the exception of: Super Bowl Sunday, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. Occasionally we close for various taproom upkeep projects or employee parties. Follow us on Instagram for updates on closures.
Do you make gluten-free beer?
MAP does not make gluten-free beer, but we do offer a limited number of gluten-reduced beers. Please ask your server or bartender for an updated list of gluten-reduced beers. Please keep in mind that there may be trace amounts of gluten in our gluten-reduced beers.
How do I book an event or play live music at MAP?
To inquire about playing music, or planning an event at MAP, please visit our events page. For any questions, please email jenny@mapbrewing.com. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate any requests for live music or events.
Can you ship beer?
Unfortunately, no.
Where can I buy your beer?
MAP is a self-distributing brewery with a small but very mighty team that ensures restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores and bars throughout Gallatin, Madison, and Park Counties are fully stocked! Unfortunately we do not sell our beer outside of the state of Montana and for the time being are limited to the counties listed above!
Our patio is typically open from May 1st - Oct 1st. These dates are completely weather dependent. Once we close the patio for the year, all tables and chairs will be removed and food will no longer be allowed on the patio. If you're feeling brave and want to stand out there, more power to you. We can't guarantee that the patio will always have the snow cleared off in the winter.
Does MAP stand for anything, and how long have you been open?
MAP does not stand for anything, however, we know that the best adventures are had when you have a MAP in hand! MAP opened Oct 25th, 2015, and we've been slinging beers ever since.
I'd like to get your cans/kegs at my establishment, who do I contact?
If you'd like to sell MAP beer at your establishment in either cans or kegs, please contact howie@mapbrewing.com.
