Tap into Montana Craft Brew Fest

The brew fest expects 30 Montana breweries, including local favorites, Katabatic Brewing and Neptune’s Brewery in addition to several new Montana breweries from the far reaches of the state, like Beaver Creek Brewery from Wibaux, Triple Dog Brewing Co. from Havre, Flathead Lake Brewing from Big Fork, and Black Eagle Brewery from Black Eagle.

Local food will be available for purchase from favorites like Rancho Picante Montana Bison Hut and Zac’s Montana BBQ. And local retailers around Livingston will be having sidewalk sales that Saturday.

This year, the brew fest is stepping up its music game with support from a Cultural Tourism Grant from Yellowstone Country Montana. The newly formed Montana super group, Swamp Dawg will perform from 2-3:30pm with some swampy southern soul and New Orleans style funk. Headlining this year’s brew fest will be Wyoming’s premier mountain rock-bluegrass band, One Ton Pig. These guys have appeared at numerous large festivals and have shared the bill with such artists as the Travelin’ McCourys, Wood Brothers, Chris Robinson, Railroad Earth, Tony Furtado, Old Crow Medicine Show, Elephant Revival, Band of Heathens, Los Lobos, John Prine, Leftover Salmon, and Young Dubliners. One Ton Pig will play from 4-7pm.

VIP Tickets are $35 in advance, $40 at the door (limited to 100 tickets) and regular tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. A VIP ticket gives you access to special release beers from the breweries and a commemorative tasting glass.  Tickets are available at tapintomt.com/tickets. For those coming from out of town, discounted room rates are available at the Yellowstone Pioneer Lodge for $59 a night (includes shuttle to and from hotel) and at the Murray Hotel for 35% off normal rates.
