Bridger Brewing is your source for the very best of Montana craft beers and daily gourmet food specials and artisan pizza. The family-friendly brewer also hosts Mussels & Music every Wednesday and {Pints with Purpose} every Monday. They also host the daily “Happiest Hours” from 2–4pm where patrons receive $3 pints! To top it all off, Bridger Brewing dominated 2016’s Best of Bozeman awards, taking home the prizes for Best Pizza, Best Brewery, Best Local Beer Crafter, and Best Tasting Room. Come and check out what all the fuss is about! Wednesday nights from 5:30 to 8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Mussels & Music!
Come enjoy some live music and over a half pound of succulent P.E.I. mussels with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa. There is no cover charge for the music. Acony Belles are set for October 12th. Based out of beautiful Bozeman, the Belles are an all female, estrogen fueled musical trio. In a world of guy bands, these lovely ladies will melt your hearts and minds. The group is comprised of Besty Wise (guitar, vocals), Chelsea Hunt (fiddle, vocals), and keeping the two of them in time is Jody Engstrom (stand-up bass, vocals). Acony Belles draw inspiration from luminaries like Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin, and the Wailin’ Jennys, while keeping in touch with the simple roots of blues, bluegrass, and Americana.

Singer/songwriter Liz de Lise will follow on October 19th. After receiving a research grant as an undergraduate student at Connecticut College, Liz headed to Portland, Oregon where she spent the summer interviewing and observing the street kids that passed through town.
The songs on To & Fro are her interpretations of the stories told to her by the street kids. While the stories are about specific street kids she met, each story speaks to the common questions and struggles of those who are coming of age. The songs are intriguing, each a mini adventure and all are true. To & Fro features: Tracy Grammer (Dave Carter, Joan Baez, Susan Werner) and Jon DeLise (Patti LaBelle, Pablo Batista, David Ivory), background vocals; Allan Slutsky (aka Dr. Licks; Chaka Khan and The Funk Brothers), mandolin; Steve Beskrone (Horace Silver, Ray Charles, Pat Martino), double bass; Louis deLise (Patti LaBelle, William DeVaughn, Halestorm), accordion, percussion, marimba, and piano; among many other notable musicians. Bridger’s {Pints with Purpose} helps the Brewery stand out from all the rest by supporting a local nonprofit each Monday. During these fun and charitable evenings, $1 of every pint sold between the hours of 5pm and 8pm will be donated to the featured organization. Proceeds from October 3rd will benefit Thrive. Since 1986, Thrive has been growing innovative and effective programs in response to the needs of local families. Through mentoring, education, and support, Thrive helps ensure all children succeed at home, in school, and in life.. Money raised on October 10th will benefit KGLT. Forty-eight year old KGLT-FM, from the MSU Campus, shares with the listeners music chosen by live djs and information that is supportive and educational to the communities it serves. Stream it at www.kglt.net/.
