Bridger Brewing presents Music & Mussels every Wednesday
If you’re seeking the very best Montana craft beers and artisan pizza, look no further than Bridger Brewing. In addition to its fantastic menu items, 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 acts and nonprofits.
Wednesday nights from 5:30–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels! Come enjoy some live music and a half pound of succulent, steamed mussels with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa.
Missoula-based Ocelot Wizard will play for brewery patrons on Wednesday, February 14th. Founding singer/songwriters Willard Peterson and Jesse Williams came together just over a year ago to create honest, love music for the soul. They play original rock music with jazz, blues, folk, hip-hop, and soul influences. Come check these guys out!
Local bluegrass group The Fresh Boys will provide the tunes on Wednesday, February 21st. In addition to Music & Mussels, Bridger will also be celebrating the release of their collaboration Mountain Jam IPA with Jackson, Wyoming’s Roadhouse Brewing Co. Be sure to stop in for some great food, music, and of course, a pint of the new suds!
Acony Belles close out the month with a performance on Wednesday, February 28th. 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), Chelsea Hunt (fiddle), and keeping the two of them in time is Jody Engstrom (stand-up bass). 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 on the calendar in the coming weeks. Come enjoy a house-made brew and be charitable in the process!
