Support local musicians, nonprofits with Bridger Brewing stop
The casual atmosphere of longtime local gathering spot Bridger Brewing is great for working lunches, quick escapes from campus and happy hour with friends. The uniquely crafted pizzas are meant to be shared – with a cold beer to wash it down, of course! But aside from its award-winning pies and delectable suds, the south-side brewer 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! 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 Walcrik on Wednesday, August 21st. Andrew Morehouse and Tim Baucom have been playing and writing together for the better part of a decade, with their debut EP available now. This Bozeman-based folk/bluegrass duo plays original, traditional and cover music.
Also this summer, enjoy a solo acoustic show on the patio by Joe Knapp of SlomoJoe on Tuesdays from 5–7pm. Brew-lovers will be treated to a variety of styles including Americana, rock n’ roll, old time and country music. These outdoor sets are weather-dependent and subject to change.
Bridger Brewing also plays host {Pints with Purpose} every Monday night 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. Head over to enjoy a house-brewed pint and be charitable in the process!
