Okay, not literally, but the 13th Annual Maverick Brewfest is a fundraiser for Missoula youth sports and that’s always made me chuckle a little. Some sell candy, some sell popcorn and we’re all tired of being bombarded with those magazine subscription fundraisers.  Missoula youth sports knows how to cut to the chase in this town:  craft beer. 

Once again you’ll be able to check out a selection of more than 40 beers from Montana and the northwest at the Maverick Brewfest this Friday, September 9, 2011 from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm at Caras Park. Tickets are $10 which includes a tasting glass and three beer tokens.  Additional tokens are $1 each.  Food and live music are also part of the gig.

Don’t forget, if you’re not in the Missoula Area or want to hit up the biggest selection of Montana beers ever assembled in one spot, the Montana Brewers Festival takes place the same night in Bozeman at the Haynes Pavilion at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds.
