About Brothers Tapworks
Brothers Tapworks is a taproom, not a brewery, on the Last Chance Gulch pedestrian mall in downtown Helena. It pours about 40 rotating handles of Montana and regional craft beer, wine, cider, and seltzer, and it is owned by a former Montana governor and his brother. The room doubles as a small community event space. It hosts weekly trivia and bingo, a summer live music series on the mall out front, ticketed wine tastings, Saturday workout classes, and pint nights that raise money for local groups such as Helena Area Habitat for Humanity and Wild Montana.
The taproom is at 40 S. Last Chance Gulch on the walking mall, so there is no parking at the door. Metered street parking on Park Avenue and the numbered cross streets and the city lots and garages a block or two off the mall are the usual options. Hours posted on the taproom's site are 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Trivia, bingo, and the Tuesday music series are free. The business serves alcohol and its website carries an 18-and-over gate, so ask staff before bringing minors.

Good to know
- Trivia and bingo are free and tables fill, so arrive 20 to 30 minutes before the start time.
- The trivia weekday is listed as Tuesday on Visit Helena and Wednesday on the taproom's own site; check the Events page at brothers-tapworks.com or the taproom's Facebook page before you go.
- Tuesdays at the Trolley is outdoors on the mall; bring a layer, since Helena evenings cool off quickly even in July.
Brothers Tapworks FAQ
- What events happen at Brothers Tapworks?
- Weekly free trivia at 6 p.m. (listed as Tuesday by Visit Helena and Wednesday by the taproom's own site), Sunday bingo at 4 p.m., a summer Tuesday live music series called Tuesdays at the Trolley outside on the walking mall, Barre and Brews classes every other Saturday, wine tastings, and fundraiser nights for local nonprofits.

- Where is Brothers Tapworks and where do I park?
- It is at 40 S. Last Chance Gulch on the downtown pedestrian mall, which is closed to cars. Park in metered spaces on Park Avenue or the cross streets, or in the city lots and garages within a block or two of the mall, and walk in. Metered spaces are free evenings and weekends under Helena's usual downtown rules; confirm on the posted signs.
- Is Brothers Tapworks kid friendly?
- The taproom does not post an age policy. Its website has an 18-and-over gate, but its event listings (such as Barks and Brews) advertise all-ages raffles alongside 21-and-over drink specials, which suggests minors with an adult are allowed at some daytime events. Call ahead or ask staff if you plan to bring children.
