Willie's Distillery

What better way to send off the summer than an afternoon in the shadows of the Big Butte enjoying not only our incredible World Museum of Mining but a rapidly growing brewfest featuring live music, great food and a fun afternoon of sampling the fares of some great local breweries, distilleries and food trucks. The 3rd Annual Big Butte Brewfest will take place this Saturday, August 24th from noon to 6pm. Let's take a look at who's participating and what we can expect.

Whether you're a dog lover, a supporter of Veterans, a connoisseur of fine spirits or any combination of the aforementioned, Slainte Butte, America Pub and Willie's Distillery of Ennis are holding the "Critters and Cocktails" event Thursday from 5 to 8pm at Slainte, 8 S. Montana.

There will be dozens of breweries represented as well as cideries and distilleries at Saturday's Big Butte Brewfest. There will be food and craft vendors and some fantastic live music. In fact, performers for the event have been announced along with the addition of 5 distilleries.
