Local brewery staple and Bozeman favorite Bridger Brewing is your source for the very best of Montana craft beers and daily gourmet food specials and artisan pizza. Having recently celebrated three years of success, 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. Holler N’ Pine will bring their talents to Bridger on June 15th. The band is comprised of Mike Singer on Banjo, Mason Tuttle on upright bass, Storm Norick on fiddle, and Yogesh Simpson on lead vocals and guitar. They’ve been been playing together for over four years and have decades of experience collectively. Holler N’ Pine play tight acoustic string music for a variety of local events. Their music is great for getting people on the dance floor as long as you’re not looking for Michael Jackson! Bridger Creek Boys will perform on June 22nd. Veterans of the Montana Bluegrass scene, the Boys have ten years and well over a thousand shows of experience, and will stun you with their picking.
Bozambique will bring their Latin fusion to the Brewery on June 29th. The talented musicians include Doug Wales (congas), Aaron Banfield (guitar), Loren Block (bass), Jelani Mahiri (percussion), and Matt Sloan (Saxophone). 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 June 20th will benefit Bozeman Masters Swim Club. BMSC is dedicated to supporting adult swimmers at all levels of performance, including fitness swimmers, competitive swimmers, and triathletes, to achieve their goals related to the sport of swimming and general physical fitness. The club endeavors to educate the general public and to build the reputation of the sport of swimming within the community of Bozeman and Gallatin County, Montana, and to foster national or international amateur sports competition in all types of swimming and swimming-related recreational activities.
Money raised on June 27th will help the efforts of TEDxBozeman. TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” It supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their own community. TEDxBozeman debuted as the first TEDx event in Montana in 2012 and has since grown and matured into an event recognized both nationally and internationally. Each year, they strive to make waves and challenge themselves to organize an ever more impactful event as they live at the confluence of ideas and people. TEDxBozeman has been prominently featured on the front page of the TEDx.com website, singled out among only two other TEDx events worldwide. Bridger Brewing, located on 1609 South 11th Avenue in Bozeman in the Town and Country complex, provides the Bozeman community with unique hand-crafted brews, fresh artisan-style pizzas, and more. Locally owned, family-friendly, and Bobcat proud, Bridger Brewing is located just across from campus and Bobcat athletic facilities.
