Fun, New Missoula Location for 2022 Winter Brewfest

I was saying on the air today, if you've felt down in the dumps and just not yourself, it's likely due to the fact that you haven't been to a brewfest in about a minute. Good news, Missoula's festival season is upon us! (Festival season is late February to September, yeah?)

The Missoula Downtown Association Winter Brewfest is back for 2022 in an all-new location! It's nice to keep things fresh but it's mostly due to the fact that Caras Park is under construction. I mean, you don't want to meet your friends in a cold dirt hole to drink beer, do you? Maybe you do, I don't know what you're in to.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
