Arthur Trenerry was born in Wales in 1881 and emigrated to Butte, Montana, with his parents in the late nineteenth century.

He held the same position at the Billings plant from 1908 to 1915, when he became president of the Billings Brewing Company.

The Billings Brewing Company was founded in 1900 in Butte by Henry Mueller, Louis Best, and Philip Grein, and constructed a state-of-the-art brewery in Billings. The brewery marketed beer from the Wyoming border north to Lewistown, Montana, and from Livingston, Montana, east to the North Dakota border. It owned and operated several bars in Billings, as well as the Gage Hotel.
