The Museum of the Beartooths extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and participated in the 9th Annual Stillwater Brewfest on Saturday, June 20. Your support made this year’s event another success and helps us continue our mission to collect, preserve, and share the rich history, art, and culture of the Stillwater County area.
We were thrilled to welcome so many community members and visitors for an evening of local craft beverages, food, live music by Charlie Denison and Groove Creek, and great company. A special thank you goes to our participating breweries and meaderies—By All Means Brewing, Gally’s Brewing, Red Lodge Ales, Bearded Viking Mead Company, Canyon Creek Brewing, Palladium Draughthaus, Map Brewing Company, and Thirsty Street Brewing Company—for helping make the event such a memorable experience.
