Thirsty?  There is plenty to do in Montana this weekend that will help take care of your thirst.

The MetraPark in Billings plays host to the 2nd Annual Montana Brews and BBQs on Saturday, July 21.  It makes my mouth water just thinking about those two things that go great together. Ryan over at Montana Beer Finder has all the details.

Historic Virginia City and the Bale of Hay Saloon host the 9th Annual Dog and Grog festival on Friday and Saturday, July 20th and 21st, 2012.  Friday Night is the Wee Dog Pint Night at the Bale of Hay with $2 pints from Butte’s Quarry Brewing starting at 9:00 p.m. to go along with live music from Tom Susanj.

The brewfest gets started on Saturday at High Noon under the big tent next to the Bale of Hay.  Ten breweries are expected to take part including Lewis and Clark, Bitter Root, Bayern, Neptune’s Brewery, Madison River, Bozeman Brewing, Lone Peak, Kettle House, Quarry, and Blackfoot River. They’ve got a $16 package deal which includes a commemorative glass, a polish dog and eight beer samples of beer.  Comstock Lode plays classic rock throughout the day. Individual beer tickets and polish dogs are also available.

If you’re in the Butte Area you can sign up to take a bus to and from the brewfest on Saturday by calling Quarry Brewing at 723-0245 or Tucker Transportation 723-4623.
