Quote: mickeycrimmMontanans have excepted me but they tell me to tell everyone else to stay where they are at. They don't like the big city folk bringing their big city problems to Montana. Except during tourist season. But once you've seen it go home. That's their attitude.
We mostly get the white racist whack jobs moving here. They have dreams of breaking off the northwest from the rest of the country. The Montana Minutemen come to mind. They were one of the first paramilitary organizations in the country. They are still moving into the state mostly settling up on the Flathead. I would suggest to any of the bad guys of Watts or Detroit that if they want to go up there messing with those racist thugs they better come in formidable numbers and be armed to the teeth.
Then there are the Montana Freemen out of Jordan who don't mind getting into an occasional armed standoff with the FBI. BTW, Benny Binion's cattle ranch was at Jordan. Benny spent a lot of summers at Jordan. I imagine he got along fine with the Freemen because he had no problem shooting black people that tried to move in on his Policy operations in Dallas.
Then we get the occasional dude that likes to blow people up, like Ten Kaczynski, the Unabomber. I stop in to Lincoln here and there. The first time there I was on a play in the Watering Hole Bar and, just to get a conversation going with the locals, I asked them if the Unabomer drank at that bar. That got a big laugh out of everybody. I got told that the dude was a teetotaler. He only came into town to check his mail and buy provisions. I suspect the dude was probably drawing food stamps.
So, in closing, we have enough whack jobs here already. Don't send any more up. BTW, did you know the Unabomber has a PHD in mathematics?
If you visit Montana you should probably stay away from the places listed above. For a relaxing night out I would suggest the Jimtown Bar, just outside the eastern boundary of the Cheyenne Reservation. The stools and tables are made of concrete so that they can't accidentally crash into your head. And the bar is caged in in chicken wire so the bartenders can't throw beer bottles at you. Or maybe it's the other way around, I forget now.
Quote: BozMickey, I just read something today that Montana has the 2nd most breweries per capita in the US. You must be one of the few who likes the hard stuff, lol.
Yes, we have lots of them. Their taprooms operate under different laws than the taverns. They can't have machines. They have to close early like 8 PM. They can only serve a customer a limited amount of brews per day. But they are a good place to stop to get a sampler plate of their brews and pig out on hot wings or whatever.
I suppose the most famous of the Montana Microbrews is a brown ale called Moose Drool. I've drank it as far south as Northern Nevada.

My wife is from Montana and she will drink Moose Drool whenever we come across it.

One of the best Brown Ales out there. Their Big Sky IPA is good. I have had both in Vegas.

Thats a pretty good description of the Jimtown Bar, except they are all Indians.
