Bridger Brewing is home to the very best Montana craft beers and artisan pizzas available. In addition to its fantastic NEW menu items, the family-friendly brewer also hosts Music & Mussels every Wednesday and {Pints with Purpose} every Monday. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts and nonprofits.
Wednesday nights from 5–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels! Come enjoy some live music and a half pound of succulent, steamed mussels with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa.
Mandy Rowden will entertain brewery patrons on Wednesday, August 15th. Rowden is an Austin-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who’s been compared to Lucinda Williams, Kim Richey, and Stevie Nicks, to name a few. Her latest album, 1000 Miles, released in 2016. In review of the album, The Austin Chronicle suggested, “An Americana Sheryl Crow? Mandy Rowden has the talent, chops, and charisma to go there.”
In collaboration with Juniper Cannabis and ChickenJam West, Bridger presents its next ‘Back to School’ outdoor show with SOJA on Saturday, August 25th. Satsang and Policulture will open at 6pm. Tickets to this all ages event are $34 in advance at Cactus Records and www.chickenjamwest.com, or $39 at the gate depending on availability. Gates at 5pm.
Nearly two decades ago, SOJA began as high school friends in a D.C. area basement teaching each other to be musicians and play roots reggae music. Today, the 2x GRAMMY-nominated eight-piece band, with over 7 million online followers and over 300 million YouTube views, headlines concerts all over the world for their massive dedicated fanbase. The feeling of true magic, collaboration and brotherhood that started it all is still evident today in their music and each night at their live shows. The group is touring in continued support of its most recent release, the reggae-focused Poetry In Motion.
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!
