Now that the Missoula Downtown Association’s Winter BrewFest is in the books, the next opportunity to sample some great Montana beer is only a week and a half away.  On Saturday, February 26, the second annual Bigfork Brewfest will take place on Electric Avenue in downtown Bigfork. Eddy Grant CDs sold separately.

An outdoor brewfest in Montana? In February? Yes, it’s true and we all know the weather could be anything under the sun.  Last year’s Bigfork Brewfest had great weather with temperatures in the 40s and a light cloud cover.  The fire pits lining the street were perfect for a quick warm up when needed. The beer didn’t last long, but it was anybody’s guess how many people might show up for the inaugural event.  Here’s hoping for more good weather and more good beer.

The event takes place from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and costs $15 for advance tickets and $20 at the event. Tickets are available at Shepard’s Glass in Kalispell, The Raven in Woods Bay, The Tamarack Alehouse and Grill in Lakeside, the Great Northern Brewery in Whitefish and the Jug Tree and Garden Bar in Bigfork.
