The Montana Brewers Rendezvous is a series of three seasonal craft beer festivals organized by the Montana Brewers Association, rotating across the state: Spring in Bozeman, Summer in Helena, and Fall in Missoula. Each event features exclusively Montana-made craft beer from 30+ breweries, live music, local food vendors, and a collectible tasting glass included with admission.
The 2026 Spring Rendezvous is confirmed for Saturday, May 10 at Gallatin County Fairgrounds in Bozeman. VIP entry at 3 PM, general admission 4-8 PM. Advance tickets: $30 GA / $35 VIP; day-of: $35 GA / $45 VIP. The Summer Rendezvous at Memorial Park in Helena and Fall Rendezvous at Caras Park in Missoula follow later in the year.
The Montana Brewers Association launched the Rendezvous series to create a traveling celebration of Montana's craft brewing industry that would reach communities across the state. The concept is rooted in Montana's frontier heritage — the word "rendezvous" evokes the historic mountain man gatherings where trappers and explorers came together to share stories and trade goods.
The three-city format is central to the Rendezvous identity. Spring kicks off in Bozeman at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, Summer moves to Helena's Memorial Park in the state capital, and Fall wraps up at Caras Park in Missoula along the Clark Fork River. Each event follows the same approachable format — affordable admission, unlimited samples, a collectible glass, live music, and food — but the different settings give each its own character.
The Montana Brewers Association, which grew out of the earlier Montana State Brewers Association founded in 1997, uses the Rendezvous series as both a public showcase and a community builder. For attendees, the Rendezvous offers a rare opportunity to taste beers from breweries scattered across a large, rural state all in one place.
