The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Lewis and Clark Brewing Company is the first brewery in the state and possibly the country to accept bitcoin as payment.

In a release for the Bitcoin Bitter English-style ale, the brewery announced plans to accept the digital currency as payment. According to the Facebook event, the price of a growler of Bitcoin Bitter will be based on the current value of a bitcoin:

"We will also be having some fun for a limited time by varying the price of growler fills on our new Bitcoin Bitter with the current market price of Bitcoin. You could pay as little as $2.50 for a growler fill or as much as $10 depending on the current price of Bitcoin at the time of your fill!"
