Thirsty Thursday

I’m sure this has already been done somewhere.  Surely I am not the first.  But, curiosity can be a powerful thing.  So can boredom.  Combine the two, throw in a can of stout and some ice cream and what do you get? A beer float. Think about it for a second.  Sounds pretty good, right?  […]

One of the tricks we’ve learned over the years is shockingly simple — making friends with folks who are really, really good at what they do can open up all kinds of new learning opportunities. Though it applies of course to almost everything in life, we’ve chosen to apply the principle most rigorously with regard […]

Microbreweries seem to be popping up everywhere these days.  For beer fans, this is a damn good thing.  While it usually costs more and odds are you can’t find it outside of a couple counties over, craft beer is some of the best beer you’ll ever have. Starting a new business is always a risky […]

Fly fishing and beer go hand in hand. One simply makes the other that much better.  We all have fond memories of relaxing with a cold brew as the light fades on the river after a great day fishing.  Craft beer is also part of the Montana (and Western) culture.  Ah, home sweet home. Starting […]

We’re rolling out a few new features and tweaks this morning for Chi Wulff; nothing earth shattering but these are all ideas that friends have been asking us to do for months (and maybe even years for one…). People of Fly Fishing. Interviews with fly fishing notables are popping up all over the place these […]
