Great Northern Brewing Company was a traditional “gravity flow” brewery located in the northernmost block of downtown Whitefish, Montana. The brewery opened in 1995 under the stewardship of Minott Wessinger, the great-great grandson of Henry Weinhard. It had approximately 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) and a maximum annual capacity of 8000 barrels.[1] The brewery permanently closed February 17, 2020.[2] In 2021, Jeanie Konopatzke, the owner of the brand, entered an agreement with Uinta Brewing Company. Uinta became able to produce, package, and sell Great Northern's recipes.[3]
