Looking for a variety of great northwest craft beers, live music and a friendly crowd?  Head to Hamilton this Saturday, July 23, for the 17th Annual Bitterroot Brewfest taking place at the American Legion Park from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.  The brewfest features more than 40 beers and wines including a brand new release from Blacksmith Brewing Co. and a “little surprise beer” from Bayern Brewing Co.

Tickets are $20 and include a commemorative glass and 6 beer tickets.  Additional tickets are $1 each, or 6 for $5.  Joan Zen plays from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by Keegan Smith from 7 to 10 p.m.  Sadly, Growler Fills won’t be taking part. But don’t shed a tear, a little R&R at Flathead Lake awaits.
