Stevensville distillery closing its doors
Montana Distillery owners Mark Hlebichuk and Sharie McDonald are sad to announce that their business of over 10 years will be closing its doors. The current owners bought the distillery business in 2011 when it was known as Flathead Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in the state. They officially reopened it in Missoula in 2014.

They opened in Stevensville on Christmas, 2020, and have never looked back.
