BoZambique
Sand and sandals, salt and pepper, Scooby and Shaggy – beer and pizza! Some things just go together. In addition to its mouthwatering craft brews and artisan pies (including the return of the Citrusaurus IPA and new Southern-inspired True Grit), Bridger Brewing 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.
The happy hour spot hosts Walcrik on Wednesday, February 6th. 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.
Latin fusion group BoZambique will entertain brewery patrons on Wednesday, February 13th. The band performs percussive-centric melodies driven by world-infused rhythm and blues. They are a five-member band inspired by Afropop, Highlife, as well as Cuban and Brazilian song and dance. BoZambique is comprised of Loren Block (uke bass), Aaron Banfield (guitar), Matt Sloan (saxophone), Jelani Mahiri (percussion), and Doug Wales (congas).
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!
