Tap Into Montana

So this is a little different subject matter than I will blog about most of the time but its a great new event happening in Livingston. That event is Tap Into Montana, a craft beer event with a week of fun for all you sud lovers out there, and I'm not talking bubble baths.

The new kid in town on the Montana beer scene, Katabatic Brewing is playing host to this first annual event Livingston, Montana. They have quickly became a community staple for great fresh craft beer and have played host to many community building events in their tasting room. Each Sunday they have Family Night with a variety of board games (and fresh Root Beer for the kids, at a cost). Monday nights there is a bluegrass jam and $1 off a growler and free pint while you wait. Tuesday nights $1 from each pint goes to the local non-profit of the week. Wednesday and Saturday nights there is live music, mostly solo musicians or small bands. Thursdays are Growler Raffle nights, enjoy a pint of your favorite beer and maybe you'll bring some home if you're lucky. Friday there are no events, it is in fact Friday.
