Gustav Dose spent the early parts of his life stomping around the gardens of Taiwan and Japan. As he grew up, his travels took him to all the brewing sites around the world, learning the techniques of each culture and what made their beer unique. Eventually settling down, Gustav decided to land in Bozeman, Montana. Once the dust cleared, it was time to set up his own brewery, and take what he’d learned to the next level. Relying on ancient traditions and the drive to build a brewery backed by living cultures, Gustav crafts new discoveries from ancient roots. Forming a crew, Mountains Walking emerged with respect to the harmony needed to create amazing beers. More than two dozen beers now come out of the unique genius of Dose and the hard work of his crew. Here, Friend is a blonde ale with hoppy character and big, punchy tropical fruit notes. Like a cream ale and an IPA slammed their genetic material together. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for three to six months.
