Bridger Brewing is your source for the very best of Montana craft beers, daily gourmet food specials, and artisan pizza. 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 events.
Wednesday nights from 5:30–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels! 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.
The regularly scheduled mid-week live music moves outside when Gregory Alan Isakov and Blind Pilot perform during a very special Bridger Brewing outdoor concert event on Wednesday, August 9th at 5pm. Tickets are $38 and on sale now at www.cactusrecords.net. This is an all ages show.
Portland-based Blind Pilot strikes a balance between mellow folk and West Coast indie pop. Lead by front man Israel Nebeker, the six-piece released their latest, And Then Like Lions, in the summer of 2016.
Gregory Alan Isakov creates songs that hone a masterful quality, telling stories of miles and landscapes and the search for a sense of place. His song-craft lends to deep lyrical masterpieces with hints of his influences, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen. Isakov recently released an album of his songs played in collaboration with the Colorado Symphony. Read The BoZone’s interview with Isakov at www.BoZone.com.
The following week, Acony Belles bring a show on August 16th. Based out of beautiful Bozeman, the Belles are an all female, estrogen-fueled musical trio. In a world of guy bands, these lovely ladies will melt your hearts and minds. The group is comprised of Betsy Wise (guitar, vocals), Chelsea Hunt (fiddle, vocals), and keeping the two of them in time is Jody Engstrom (stand-up bass, vocals). Acony Belles draw 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.
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 being featured in the upcoming weeks. Come enjoy a house-made brew and be charitable in the process!

For more than 50 years, the nonprofit has been working with communities across the state to protect Montana’s wilderness heritage, quiet beauty, and outdoor traditions, now and for future generations.

Support Befrienders Senior Match on August 14th. The program’s mission is to enhance the quality of life by “befriending” our aging population.
