Bridger brews up delectable drafts & midweek musicians
By golly, patio season is finally upon us after a particularly cruel false start. Bridger Brewing offers one of the best views in the Valley for those lucky enough to score a seat on the rooftop veranda. 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! 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.
Betsy & Johnny are back to entertain brewery-goers with a Blues-flavored acoustic rock set on Wednesday, June 5th. The former draws 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. Along with performing her originals solo, she lends her talents to other local bands including the Hooligans and White Sage. She’s skilled on the guitar, ukulele, and clawhammer banjo.
The happy hour spot hosts Walcrik on Wednesday, June 12th. 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.
NEW for 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 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!
