Have you checked out Bozeman Spirits in historic Downtown Bozeman? The distillery uses only pure Rocky Mountain water to produce the most flavorful spirits. They also host live music by great local artists every Tuesday from 5:30-8pm in their homey tasting room.
Here’s a look at the upcoming acts. Bramble & Rye are set to perform on March 15th. A blues-infused folk duo based in Bozeman, the pair weave folk, country, rock, and blues into their tunes, tipping their hats to songwriting legends like Gillian Welch, Neil Young, and Bonnie Raitt while taking inspiration from new Americana artists like Jason Isbell and Ryan Bingham. Both songwriters, Jesscy Dean and Jeff Miesbauer met in the fall of 2014 and have been sharing and writing songs together ever since. They write from the parts of themselves that are used but not used up, and are inspired by things that are old and true, like rusty tools or tempered love. Jesscy is a Bozeman native and has been filling the wide-open West with her powerful voice since birth. She channels her wild roots with every breath. Jeff comes from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina, where he learned to hear voices in falling water…and they always told him to play more guitar. Quenby will take over entertainment duties on March 22nd.
Quenby plays a wide variety of Vintage Country, Contemporary (minus Pop), Outlaw, and Classic popular covers as well as originals which include songs from Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Jerry Reed, Mary Gauthier, The Mavericks, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Patsy Cline, Lucinda Williams, and many more! Travis & Josh will close out the month with a performance on March 29th.
Bozeman Spirits Distillery’s tasting room offers a warm and welcoming environment. With the history kept alive in the reclaimed wood and metals throughout, you will feel the modern charm and history as you walk in. Your fresh cocktail is served upon wood from the 1930s, and the bar brings the atmosphere of the old saloon. The beautiful stills and production are seen through the back glass windows of the tasting room, and the mixologists will be happy to explain distilling techniques from the grains, mashing, blending, and bottling processes. History is an intimate part of Bozeman Spirits Distillery, aiming to be a focal point of the downtown area, and the business prides itself on its Montana roots. They currently have created two types of vodka, a gin and a whiskey, using Montana ingredients as much as possible. Each spirit is crafted with water sourced from the Hyalite, Sourdough, and Bozeman Creek watersheds, and all distilling and bottling occurs in the back room of the distillery. Bozeman Spirits Distillery uses two stills in the production area. An Artisan 300 Gallon Traditional Copper Pot Still with a 4 plate and 16 plate column, and an Arnold Holstein Copper Pot Still with a 4 plate column.
