After being closed for several months following a main fire suppression pipe burst in the kitchen, the Flathead Lake Brewing Company Pubhouse will be reopening the main floor of its restaurant on Tuesday, April 4.
After being closed for four months, the Pubhouse will be welcoming back patrons with $4 pints for one day only.
On December 1st, 2022 water flooded throughout most of the Pubhouse, a devastating event that required lots of mitigation with insurance and construction crews.
The past four months have been spent fixing drywall, repainting, replacing floors, and updating the kitchen.
With the help of the Bigfork Fire Department, which arrived at the scene quickly, and STAT Restoration’s speedy work in drying out the building, repairs were able to begin quickly.
Hometown Handyman, Gilliard Painting as well as other various construction crews worked hard to put everything back together and Touris Plumbing, Star Electric, Federal Protection and Western Fire Protection spent hours repairing the building’s system.
The Pubhouse will keep to the same hours as before - Tuesday through Saturday from 12 to 8 p.m.
The Pubhouse will also feature a new meny for its returning customers.
Before the closure, the Pubhouse welcomed Chef Louie Bertino to its crew.
Bertino is excited to get back in the kitchen, where he has plans to keep some Pubhouse classics while adding a few new items to the lineup as well.
The Pubhouse is also bringing back Trivia Night on Wednesday, April 12th. Trivia is a weekly event happening on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.
The plan is to host Trivia for a few weeks before taking the usual summer break.
During all of this, the brewery side of the building was unaffected, so the Flathead Lake Brewing Co. has been brewing and canning as normal. Flathead Lake Brewing Company has been ramping up production and getting ready for another busy summer in the Flathead Valley.
The company has updated some of its can labels and has even released a brand-new beer in cans.
The Beardance Juicy IPA is a super smooth and fruity IPA that is easy to take in, just like the amazing views of Flathead Lake from the top of Beardance Trail No. 76.
Located in Bigfork, the Flathead Lake Brewing Co. & Pubhouse is all about featuring quality handcrafted and award-winning beer, great food, and amazing views of Flathead Lake.
