Bridger Brewing, located at 10751 HWY 287, just off I-90 east of Three Forks, is now open for business. The grand opening was held on July 19 at 4:00 p.m. with a great response from followers eager to view the facility and enjoy a beer with a fine meal. Bridger Brewing is known to many from its facility in Bozeman at 1609 S 11th Ave.
Promoters of Bridger Brewing chose the Three Forks site for its location at a major crossroads centrally located between several communities. Easy access for customers and ample available parking makes it inviting in a fast-growing area.
Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Bridger Brewing is based on the canning, distribution and serving of four beers. The grill offers thinly sliced steaks covered in a choice of sauces. Chicken, pork and lamb dinners are also on the menu. Each selection includes a salad and fries. 10--12 tap beers are available, as well as 4 canned beers made on site.
Bridger Brewing will host outdoor concerts that can seat 1500 people. For the summer of 2022, Pinky and the Floyd on August 26 is the only concert scheduled. Looking ahead, Bridger Brewing plans to host 15--20 outdoor summer concerts. Small music venues will be held indoors.
Bridger Brewing intends to be supportive of area communities through supporting first responders, fire departments, law enforcement and non-profit organizations.
At the present, Bridger Brewing employs 55 individuals with the possibility of 65--70 positions in the future.
The Bridger Brewing facility utilizes two 50 Kilowatt solar arrays. One for the pub and grill and one for the brewery (manufacturing of beer). These panels supplement the electrical supply and are projected to save about $10,000 a year in electrical bills.
In the future, Bridger Brewing looks to remain a strong Montana Brewery, have a positive impact on the community, and be a responsible and good employer with a focus on giving back to the surrounding areas and being a community partner.
Bridger Brewing, brewed in the mountains of Montana, offers customers a place to have a good time, relax and connect with family and friends through a friendly atmosphere, drinks, food and great conversation.
