*NOW ON TAP* Western Cider Stampede! Featuring the Haskap, this Imperial Cider boasts an impressive 8.4% ABV. Crafted in small batches, this cider showcases the unique elongated blue berry known as the Haskap, a resilient fruit cultivated in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Revered as the “berry of long life” by the Ainu people of Japan, the haskap is a nutritional powerhouse, offering three times the antioxidants of blueberries and a wealth of Vitamin C! Come and enjoy this exceptional new flavor on tap!
Tonight at Craft Local ✨
Kicking off the Montana run with Alfred tonight in Billings. Since he’s based in Texas, we don’t get many chances to do weekends like this together, which makes this one feel extra special.
We’ve got a set full of some harmonies, strange little stories, emotional damage, questionable life choices, and at least a few songs that should pair well with a drink.
Come hang out with us tonight 🖤
Hope to see you there—maybe more than once this weekend if the timing lines up that way.
This Weekend! Join Us on 5/15-5/16 for a Musical Extravaganza Supporting Meaningful Causes! Prepare yourself for an evening that promises incredible music for an important mission! On May 15, be a part of the Montana Epilepsy Foundation Pint Night, where each pint you enjoy will contribute to the Montana Epilepsy Foundation.
The evening kicks off at 7 PM with the talented That Cat Gavin Russell, followed by the energetic MoonCats, who are hitting the road to promote their latest album, “Animal Style.” Doors open at 6 PM, so arrive early to secure your spot!
Since 2018, the MoonCats have been brightening the Midwest music scene with their distinctive mix of catchy originals and vibrant covers. This family-friendly trio brings together banjo, washboard, upright bass, mandolin, guitar, and harmonica, creating a sound that resonates with audiences of all ages.
Don’t let this incredible night pass you by! Circle the date on your calendar, gather your friends, and enjoy fantastic music for a worthy cause.
