Hit up Sunrift Beer Company and blue samurai yesterday - good stuff! Thanks for all the tips. Son placed 5th in 400m yesterday and made the 200m finals which is later today.

More sign-of-the-times sad news. Litigious loons can't take a joke.Someone threatened to sue Mooses and they had to remove... No mas flour initiation...
PS: Greenhorn would have coated the entire place with the his "floury" notes!

FYI for others not privy to the joke, Mooses had a small brass horn behind the bar which patrons would challenge a newbie to blow as it was described as difficult to toot. The horn configuration included several curves and bends, with the flared end culminating in a direction aimed back at the "musician". Unbeknownst to the newbie attempting to show off strong pipes, the horn was filled with flour and a successful strong lunged troubadour would be covered with flour directed at the face ... a face typically turning red under the cloud, accompanied by laughter from the fellow patrons. The positive aspect for the newbie was that typically they were treated to free beverages for the rest of the visit.

Moose's is legend. Grew up east of the front but spent a lot of weekends in the Flathead Valley in the 80's. Moose's was always a hot spot. Still have to go there anytime I am up that way. The valley was pretty dang good in those days.

Sykes turned into a trendy place with the new owner.
You guys back already? Thought I saw someone looking like Tyler possibly heading out for a hunt this afternoon.

A bit out of the way, but the H.A. brewery might be favorite place to have a few beers

I'm going to disagree with the beer recommendations. I love the logo at sunrift. Really wanted to like their beer. But I thought their beer was okay. Bias was too new to be judged outright because you have to give a new brewery some time to get things dialed in but I thought some of their stuff was solid or could see the potential. This is not from a beer snob(I would never call myself that, I think it's pretentious). Unless somethings changed since last August.

Agreed, best brewery in Montana that I’ve been to yet.

Not Tyler - he’s still on the bus ride home. Was a fun weekend of watching all the kids compete. Kalispell is a nice town. Hit up Biga Pizza in Missoula tonight- another home run.
I’m fat.

I'm reviving this thread as I'll be in the Kalispell area next week for work. Any updated restaurant recommendations or quick hikes in the area?

There is a Chik-Fil-A there if you feel like eating crap. People seem to like that.
