Al Pils, Kettlehouse

Readers' Pick

Kettlehouse ale slinger Al Pils is just as quick with a fresh pint as he is with pointed commentary. His thoughts on topics ranging from Missoula politics to the most influential rock albums of all time rotate regularly on a large white board that hangs above the Myrtle Street bar. As with any good bartender, Pils doesn’t just sound off-he’s mainly looking to spark a discussion, which is a good thing for all those lazy afternoons many of us seem to spend at the Kettlehouse bar.
