The Montana Brewing Co., located on the ground floor in the defunct Montana Power Co. building, was one of the first small-scale brewpubs to appear when such facilities sprung up across the country. As the first brewing company in Billings, Mont., it staked out a claim on the main thoroughfare in the historic district of the city's downtown in 1994. Once one of the major businesses in Billings, Montana Power was housed for decades in a turn-of-the-century, six-story, white terra cotta-clad office building in downtown. An imposing presence on the block, the building is a natural attraction for locals and tourists.
