The Missoula Downtown Association and KettleHouse Brewing Co. will host the fourth annual Winter BrewFest on Friday, February 21, 2014 from 5-10 pm. Winter BrewFest will be held at Caras Park and will feature live entertainment, beer, wine, food and more. The public is invited to sample a variety of 36 winter brews in everyone’s favorite town square. Admission is $12 per person and includes one 7-ounce commemorative glass and two beer tokens. Additional tokens are $1 each.
Attendees must be 21 years of age or older and will be required to show identification at the entrance, located on the west side of the Caras Park Pavilion near the Carousel. Parking is free downtown on evenings and weekends, and attendees are encouraged to use alternative forms of transportation. Mountain Line bus service runs until 8pm, and the University of Montana UDASH shuttle runs 15-minute service late into the night.
“This will be the second year Winter BrewFest takes place in Caras Park,” said Winter BrewFest committee chair Ellen Buchanan. “We wanted to preserve the same fun outdoor atmosphere as last year, but give guests more room to move freely among the beer selection, food, and great music. We’ve designed a spacious layout this year and are bringing in even more winter brews to taste. It will be an exciting evening downtown and will just add to all the fun we have year-round in Downtown Missoula.”
In addition to hosting three dozen microbrews from around the region, Winter BrewFest will showcase the musical talent and tasty eats that make Downtown Missoula a vibrant place to connect – even in the winter. Entertainment will be provided by The Idle Ranch Hands and food will be provided by El Cazador and Burns Street Bistro. There will be lots of ways to stay warm throughout the event.
Winter BrewFest is sponsored by Kettlehouse Brewing Co. and Qdoba. More information can be found online on the MDA website or by contacting the MDA staff via phone (543-4238).
