A bluegrass brotherhood, Brice Ash & charitable {Pints} at Bridger Brewing
Pizza alone won’t fill that void – you’ll also need a few beers! In addition to its mouthwatering craft brews and artisan pies, Bridger Brewing also hosts Music & Mussels every Wednesday and {Pints with Purpose} on Mondays. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts and nonprofits.
Wednesday nights from 5:30–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels! Come enjoy some live music and succulent, steamed mussels with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa.
The happy hour spot hosts Bridger Creek Boys on Wednesday, March 6th. The latter are an acoustic bluegrass quartet steeped in old-time tradition, while also pushing the genre with newgrass. The band blends originals with covers of traditional bluegrass and more contemporary artists. Their style is confident, complex, and full of improvisation that will draw you in and get you shaking all over with bluegrass joy.
Brice Ash & Friends will entertain brewery-goers on Wednesday, March 13th. Ash’s debut solo album, The Chariot, carries with it the hopeful hurt, raw honesty, and stirring stories that fans of his rough-hewn songwork have come to expect. Ranging from the heart-wrenching piano/cello duet, “Joe’s Final Bow,” to the gritty roots rocker “Has-Been Man,” the record brims with humanity – brash cowgirls, broken old men, homeless saviors, and high school nerds. Their stories are woven together in an Americana soundscape as Ash explores the corners and alleys of the human condition. Bozeman’s slower pace and breathtaking surroundings continue to nourish the singer/songwriter’s creativity.
Betsy & Johnny follow with a Blues-flavored acoustic rock set on Wednesday, March 20th.
Bridger Brewing not only takes pride in its stellar menu items, but also in the community it serves. The brewery hosts {Pints with Purpose} every Monday evening from 5–8pm where $1 of every pint sold will be donated to a featured local nonprofit. Here’s a look at some of the nonprofits on the calendar in the coming weeks. Come enjoy a house-brewed pint and be charitable in the process!
