Local brewery staple and Bozeman favorite Bridger Brewing has more than just exceptional craft beer and other gourmet offerings.
They have daily food specials, feature Mussels & Music every Wednesday, and host {Pints with Purpose} every Monday throughout the month. Wednesday nights from 5:30 to 8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Mussels & Music! Joe Knapp and Friends will be in house on September 16th, while Acony Belles will provide the entertainment on the 23rd. Knapp plays a variety of styles including rock ‘n’ roll, old time, and country music. The Belles provide dazzling female vocal harmonies in arrangements of bluegrass, folk, and soulful Americana tunes. They are inspired by great female artists including Red Molly, Wailin’ Jennies, Della Mae, and Gillian Welch. 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…the music is free, but the mussels are not! Every Sunday afternoon at 3 pm, the Montana Reel and Strathspey Society hosts a cèilidh (pronounced kay-lee), at Bridger Brewing! What exactly is a cèilidh?
In this case, it’s a jam session and meetup for musicians who play traditional Irish and Scottish folk music. The BFS welcomes players of traditional folk instruments to play with them. If you know some Irish and Scottish tunes, bring them with you! If you don’t, then come anyway and they’ll turn you on to their tune resources so you can learn some tunes and join them! If you don’t have a musical bone in your body, come enjoy the music as an audience member over a pint! Donations are requested at the door for participants. Bridger Brewing’s {Pints with Purpose} supports 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 the September 21st benefit will sponsor the efforts of the Longfellow Parents Association. The LPA works to raise funds to enrich children’s education, provide information/facilitate communication among Longfellow families, and build community. They accomplish these goals by each and every parent and guardian in our community doing their part. On the 28th, money raised will be donated to Belgrade Bandits Baseball. Their mission is to provide a strong, healthy, community supported baseball league for the youth in Belgrade. They are committed to providing coaches that will support our players to fulfill their potential by providing intensive instruction and high levels of competition. Players will promote sportsmanship, hard work, honesty and respect both on and off the field. Through the commitment of parents, players and coaches, The Belgrade Bandits provide the tools for life long success. So come out and support these wonderful causes, Bozeman!
