The Whitefish Winter Carnival is already one of the best winter events in Montana.  Now, Great Northern Brewing Co. and Black Star Beer are hosting the Black Star Barter where the most awesome, thoughtful and enthusiastic contestant will win a year’s supply (52 cases) of Black Star beer. The event takes place on February 5, 2011 at the Great Northern Brewery in Whitefish. 

To take part you’ll need to get creative in answering the question: What would you do or trade for a year’s supply of Black Star Beer? Black Star is looking for contestants to barter their most over-the-top, outrageous submissions, and share their fantastic creations to try and win more beer than even Growler Fills takes in during the year.  Win and you’ll definitely pick up a few new friends.

Want to participate? According to Black Star, “contestants must show up with their barter submission at the Great Northern Brewing Company on February 5, 2011 at 11:00am MST. The Black Star Barter will begin promptly at 1:00pm MST and end at 3:00pm MST. Contestants will be given an entry number and will be asked to present their barter entry to a colorful panel of judges.”
