Montana McDonald’s Will Sadly Never Offer This Drink

Maybe one day, this can be possible.

Fast Food Options in Montana

We have a lot of options.

Most Montana cities will have many fast food options for consumers.

Franchises like McDonald's, Wendy's, and Subway have multiple locations across the state.

Other fast food options, like Jersey Mike's, Panera Bread, Chick-fil-A, and others, have slowly spread in Big Sky Country.

And more fast food franchises are entering the market in 2025, like Jack in the Box and Del Taco.

Fast food is the best option when you need something affordable and delicious. Some folks don't have time to sit at a restaurant and enjoy lunch or dinner.

Could they be better? Possibly.

McDonald's Serves Beer?

You read that right.

There are McDonald's that serve beer.

McDonald's typical drink options are soda, juice, coffee, milkshakes, and water, but in some countries they offer beer.

Eat This, Not That reports several countries outside of America allow McDonald's to serve beer.

Many European countries allow McDonald's to serve multiple beers.

Could this happen in Montana one day?

It's an uphill battle.

Fast Food Franchises Serving Beer

Why would this be impossible to happen in Montana?

The alcohol laws prevent this.

Montana is one of the strictest places to acquire liquor or beer & wine licenses.

Other states have more relaxed laws for alcohol, but Montana is not.

The only fast food franchise that offers beer is Shack Shack.

The beer they serve is made specifically for their restaurants. All their locations are in states where they can serve beer and not have to pay a massive fee for a license.

Would you want to see fast-food franchises in Montana serve beer? It would be a wild change of pace.
