Yes those trips to Moose's Saloon in Kalispell were great, especially with the numerous stops at the bars on the way back. For a time we also used to go to the bar at the golf course in West Glacier until the bartender turned mean and drove us all out.pitamakan wrote:Yep, the Montana drinking age was 19 the years I worked in the park. I'd come from a state where the age was 21, and so Glacier gave me my first taste of legal alcohol ... or rather, the string of bars in Bad Rock Canyon did. Pretty exotic places, then and now!
I think in my last year at Glacier (when things lightened up) whenever someone was driving to Waterton we would put in requests for Lethbridge Pilsner, Great West or some other Canadian beers whose names I have forgotten. I think there was a duty assessed at the border on a case of Canadian beer of about $1.44.
Montana changed the drinking age several times I believe. From 21 to 18 in 1972. Then to 19 in the late 1970s and then back to 21.
