The wonderful summer season in Missoula is book-ended by two fine brewfests.  Signaling the start of fall (though the weather has already done that) is the 12th Annual Maverick Brewfest at Caras Park on Friday, September 10, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.  There will be more than 40 beers on tap along with live music and food.  Cost is $10 which gets you a commemorative mug and three samples.  Additional samples are $1 each and proceeds benefit Missoula area youth sports. I’ve often thought it a tad odd to drink beer in support of youth sports, but that’s never stopped me from enjoying great beer at a great event.

So, if you’re not headed to the Montana Brewers Association 2nd Annual Montana Brewers Festival in Bozeman at the same time on the same night, head on down to Caras Park in Missoula and get in on the fun.
