Carrying on the Bertram’s Legacy

Bertram’s doors were opened in 1998 by original owners, Nick and Helen Bertram. Today, owners David and Melissa Craig are proud to carry the tradition forward. They are focused on building on the brewery's history while creating new experiences for the community. With a genuine appreciation for what Bertram's has meant to Salmon, they continue to preserve the welcoming atmosphere and familiar favorites that have kept people coming back for decades.

From the beers poured across the bar to the meals shared around the table, every part of Bertram's reflects the people and places that make the Salmon Valley special. Our flagship beers, seasonal brews, and handcrafted menu are created with the same goal in mind: bringing people together and giving them a reason to stay a while.
