Love Beer and Food? MT Brews and BBQ is Saturday at MetraPark
Like you really need an excuse to enjoy fantastic beer, live music and great food, outdoors in the Montana sunshine. Am I right? The 11th annual MT Brews and BBQ is happening Saturday at MetraPark and the event this year is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet.

The festival features beers exclusively from Montana.
Beer festivals usually have a mix of local and regional breweries (and don t get me wrong, there are some great beers from the Pacific Northwest), but MT Brews and BBQ features exclusively Montana brewed and kegged beers. If you were to travel to all of the Montana brewers represented at the event, you d put over 1,800 miles on your car!
I love March. This time of year it starts to feel like spring as the daylight increases by around 3 minutes per day in our latitudes. The sun has significantly more strength and while we ll surely get at least a couple more big spring snowstorms, any white stuff we get at this point will typically not last long around Billings.
March has some big calendar dates too:
Spring Home Improvement Show 3/5 - 3/7
The 38th annual event that draws over 30,000 attendees to MetraPark is back this year. As always, it s free to attend and a great place to
Daylight Saving Time 3/14
While states around the US continue to debate dropping the twice-per-year time jumps, Montana is sticking with the spring forward thing on March 14th. Seriously, do we need to do this anymore? Should I start a ballot initiative or something?
