Cheers to craft brews and community support
Ales for Trails is a celebration of local and regional microbrews that showcases the rich tapestry of flavors found in Montana and the local region. With 50 different microbrews to sample, beer enthusiasts will have the opportunity to try a wide variety of styles, from hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, all while supporting a great cause. But the event isn’t limited to beer aficionados; wine and nonalcoholic beverages will also be available, ensuring that everyone can raise their glass to a fantastic time.
Groove to the beat and dance the night away
One of the highlights of Ales for Trails is the beloved Silent Disco. Imagine a dance floor filled with people moving to the rhythm of their own tunes, all while sharing an energetic atmosphere. It’s a unique experience that adds an extra layer of excitement to the event. The evening’s entertainment doesn’t stop there – live music by the Repeat Offenders will keep the crowd grooving and dancing throughout the night.

Food vendors will be serving up a delectable array of treats to satisfy any craving. And for those who enjoy a little friendly competition, Giant Beer Pong will provide plenty of laughter and merriment. Capture memories with friends at the photo booth and seize the chance to win incredible prizes, including the coveted Fat Tire bike, in the raffle.
