The Missoula Public Library is in the midst of a year-long series of speakers called Know Montana and July’s session is all about beer.  A history of beer making in Montana, to be specific.

On Monday, July 30, 2012 at 6:30 p.m., Montana beer historian Steve Lozar and Highlander Beer creator Bob Lukes will discuss that history and lots more about beer in Montana. 

Steve is the president of the board of trustees for the Montana Historical Society and has an impressive collection of Montana brewing paraphernalia (on display on the second floor of his screen printing business in Polson).  Bob, one of the creators of Celtic Festival Missoula, recently revived the 100+ year old Highlander Beer name with a Scottish Export style red ale brewed in collaboration with Great Northern Brewing Co.

This event is sure to be as entertaining as it is informative.  The presentation will be held in the large meeting room at the Missoula Public Library at 301 E. Main St., Missoula.
