Bridger Brewing serves up craft pizza, midweek music & micros
The casual atmosphere of longtime local gathering spot Bridger Brewing is great for working lunches, quick escapes from campus and happy hour with friends. The uniquely crafted pizzas are meant to be shared – with a cold beer to wash it down, of course! But aside from its award-winning pies and delectable suds, 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! Note: Due to a mussel shortage, Bridger will substitute shrimp through the month of August.
Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs’ guitarist and vocalist Josh Moore brings a solo set on Wednesday, August 28th. The North Carolina native’s acoustic show features a healthy blend of originals and covers. Sometimes described as a musically gifted goofball, he’ll bring a mix of good-feelin’ folk and bluegrass to the brewery.
Looking to a new month, the Vibe Quartet deliver Bridger-goers their fine acoustics on Wednesday, September 4th. The improv quartet fuses a variety of instrumental music ranging from jazz standards to original funk numbers and instrumental popular tunes. The group is a Bozeman area favorite and is not to be missed!
Also this 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 also plays host {Pints with Purpose} every Monday night 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. Head over to enjoy a house-brewed pint and be charitable in the process!
