The Missoula Downtown Association is at it again with another winter brewfest in the works.  Last year’s winter-time event was a big success – perhaps a bit too successful – as craft beer lovers took over the first floor of the historic Missoula Mercantile building.  With the Merc set for renovations to start soon, many wondered if there was another location in town willing to take on the fun.  Turns out, there is.

On Saturday, February 11, 2012, from 2-8 pm, the Missoula Downtown Association’s Winter BrewFest will take place at the old Safeway Building on West Broadway Street nest to St. Patrick’s Hospital.  More than 30 beers will be pouring along with a wine bar, food and live music.  Tickets are $10 which gets you a 7 ounce tasting glass and two drink tokens.  Additional tokens are $1 each. Word to the wise: the earlier you get there, the better.
