Big Sky Moose Drool

Share via

Big Sky, the leading brewery of Missoula, Mont., often apologizes for calling its brown ale Moose Drool. But the name clearly does it no harm -- it’s by far the bestselling Montana beer.

And with good reason. Moose Drool is immediately likable -- a big, creamy mouthful loaded with malt flavor, sweetish with just a bit of hop edge. In fact, it’s such an attractive beer that your average rugged mountain man is probably relieved that it has a name showing some beer-dude humor rather than something pretty-sounding.

-- Charles Perry Style: A big, malty brown ale; drink it as dessert after a heavily hopped IPA.

Price: $7.99 a 6-pack.

Where you find it: Beverage Warehouse, Los Angeles, (310) 306-2822; Beverages & More, for locations see www.bevmo.com; some supermarkets.
