Blackstarbeer, also known as Black Star, is a brand that specializes in crafting high-quality lagers. The Great Northern Brewery, established in 1994, was specifically built to produce their flagship beer, the Black Star Double Hopped Golden Lager, along with other exceptional lagers. Founded by Minott Wessinger, a fifth-generation brewer and descendant of renowned brewer Henry Weinhard, Blackstarbeer has a rich family tradition of beer-making, aiming to create the finest handcrafted lagers available.

The Great Northern Brewery, designed by esteemed architect Joe Esherick, is equipped with a state-of-the-art, mostly automated brew house that allows for efficient production. The spacious and open Cellar area accommodates various brewery operations simultaneously. Since its first brewing in 2010, the brewery has focused on meeting the demand for Black Star within the Flathead Valley and Montana region.

Such is the popularity of Black Star that they have partnered with a brewery in Milwaukee, WI to meet the rising demand. They continue to use the same high-quality hops, barley, and attention to detail that make Black Star a truly exceptional brew, regardless of whether it originates from Whitefish or Milwaukee. Blackstarbeer invites you to connect with them on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, and explore their official website for exciting features, contests, and the captivating story behind the brewery.

They hope you savor every sip of Black Star as much as they enjoy crafting it
