October should to be National Craft Beer month with all these activities
Here is a roundup of upcoming craft-beer events. Hey Montana brewers, do you have an event you’d like me to post on here? Send the info my way, and I’ll make sure to get it out there for readers to find.

Hi Tim, Thank you very much for the posting. We really started buckling down last night, tasting beers and building the menu for Monday. Oh man, we are getting very excited! The beers are inspiring and the food ideas are looking really creative.
Thanks Again,

Hey Adam,
No problem. I’m really excited to see restaurants like Red Bird getting into the swing of beer dinners. I’ve been running one with Big Sky and Blue Canyon in January every year, and I’ve always thought it would be great if they caught on with other chefs and restaurants.

The Red Bird Beer Feast has sold out! We are stoked with the response that we have received from the beer community. We have started a waiting list as we do sometimes have cancelations. This is set to be one of the best experiences that you can have for 45 dollars. As a heads up, we will be pouring the cool “harder to find” beers from the dinner for the next couple of weeks. Thank you beer drinkers for coming in and drinking good beer. You make it possible for us to do what we do.
Thanks Again,
Adam
