MONTANA BREWS & BBQ
jul 16, 2022 at 1:00-10:00 PM
In its 12th Year the Montana Brews and BBQs has developed a reputation as an authentic brewfest that supports, and showcases, local.
2000 Miles of Montana Beer – Lakeside @ Metrapark July 16th
There is a sense of pride that goes along with being a Montanan. We work hard, play hard, and we enjoy the reputation for the quality in both. In Montana, the craft brewing industry is thriving. What was once considered "bud light or coors light?" has been replaced with a diversity and complexity that is as much science as it is enjoyment. Two thousand miles and thirty days. That's what it would take you to travel the breweries that are represented at this year's MT Brews & BBQ. We are proud to say that this year's MT Brews & BBQ will feature almost 70 flavors representing breweries that hail from every corner of the treasure state, but only, and exclusively, from the 406. It allows our community to delight in breweries, and communities that, without this event, them may not ever be able to experience. Local brewers showcase seasonal creations and beers brewed specifically for this event. By doing so, this event is the only place some of these beers can be experienced. As much as it is about the beer, it allows for our community to immerse themselves in the 406 subcultures that surround each brewery and help define the flavors that they develop for each of their communities. By experiencing these Montana subcultures and the products, especially craft beers, representing them allows us all to further our understanding, and find the heart behind, what it means to be from and to strengthen our bond as Montanans. Come early as we will have specialty flavors you cannot find anywhere else in town. But like all specialty beers, their quantities are limited so come early and experience the diversity of beer you never knew existed. Exclusively kegged, exclusively Montanan. 'Cause Nothin' Beats an Ice-Cold MT Brew!

The Cause
The best part of the event is that all Breakfast Exchange Club proceeds benefit their local community partners!
The 12th annual Montana Brews & BBQ’s will take place Saturday, July 16th in the beautiful Lakeside setting at MetraPark. What makes this a true “Brewfest” is that it is outdoors and features only keg beers from Montana. Kegs are used because it offers the purest and freshest beer. It is the only true “Brewfest” in the state. All of the local breweries will be there along with many others from throughout the state. Many of the breweries will showcase seasonal brews typically not available year round.
Hours will be 1:00pm to 10:00pm. Admission is free.
