Chill winds and torrential rain made the 18th annual
Garden City BrewFest a somewhat uncomfortable place to be May 1. The pavilion in Caras Park felt like a packed cattle car, making the taps trickier to reach than usual. Yet hundreds of diehard local beer fans rode out the bad weather in good-and well-lubricated-spirits. Bands continued to play, beer continued to flow, and Mother Nature learned a valuable lesson: It’ll take more than a storm to drown out Missoula’s most prized outdoor fete.
