Since launching MRBCo more than two years
ago, Adam Hutchinson and Sco Hansing have
not only garnered a devoted following due to
their stunning variety of cra beers, burgers,
and quintessential brewpub fare – they've also
become valued members of the East Helena
community who frequently contribute to an
impressive number of local and charitable causes.
"East Helena is a smelter town and an industrial
town, and we wanted to pay homage to that
history," Sco says. "All the pieces of décor we have are actually from
East Helena and the surrounding area. We have a parking meter from
downtown, the irrigation piping on the tower came from a field in East
Helena, and we made our tap handles from used hand tools."

PALATE DISCREET
at Missouri River Brewing Company
There is nothing beer than sharing ice-cold brews with friends as the smoky scent of barbeque
was in the breeze. Toss in stunning mountain views, two wide-open levels of gathering space, and an
industrial, steampunk-style aesthetic, and you might have just landed yourself at the Missouri River
Brewing Company (MRBCo), located in the bustling community of East Helena.

Many of MRBCo's tap handles are constructed
from used hand tools. Owners Scott Hansing (L)
and Adam Hutchinson (R) love creating new and
unexpected beer varieties for their patrons.
