2024 Craft Beer Week

Tis the season for amazing craft beer, themed runs, and awesome events. The 2024 Billings Craft Beer Week is almost upon us, and everything you need to know to enjoy the week can be found right here.
 
When is it?
Billings Craft Beer week will take place Sunday, May 12th through Saturday May 18th. There will be events throughout the week with the Last Best Beer Run rounding out the week! Participants can win awesome prizes by visiting multiple breweries, and those that visit all of the breweries over the course of craft beer week will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift card to each of the participating breweries.
 
Billings Brew Pass
Each year the Billings Brew Pass resets for Craft Beer Week! So those that have used the pass previously can win all new prizes for the 2024. For Craft Beer Week the pass includes a special incentive to visit all of the breweries on the Billings Brew Trail. Those who stop and check in at each brewery from May 12th-18th will be entered in the grand prize drawing!
 
Passholders who visit 6 or more breweries during Craft Beer Week will win a limited run t-shirt! It’s only available during the week’s festivities and while supplies last.
 
 
The pass will be available in May, so check back soon for sign up information. The pass will be featured on our Brew Trail webpage and social media channels, so keep your eyes peeled!
 
You can download the pass by scanning the bar code below.  The more breweries you visit, the more prizes you win! Think of it as Pokemon Go but with beer! Gotta taste em all (responsibly, of course)!
 
 
Last Best Beer Run
Get your cowboy hats and moon boots ready to roll for the annual Last Best Beer Run, which will once again culminate with a fun run through downtown Billings, stopping at breweries and finishing at The Depot. The course can be enjoyed with or without stops for beers along the course. The theme this year? Space Cowboys! Prizes for best costume along with fun easter eggs along the course for runners to find! After the race enjoy beers from the various breweries and an awesome street party at Thirsty Street at the Garage. Register for the Last Best Beer Run here.
 
 
What to expect
 
Spring is here which means new brews dropping and plenty of fun flavors to try out! For example, Diamond X Beer Co is planning on sharing their new pickle juice infused Mexican Lager! Expect to see some new big Fruity IPA's on the menu at Montana Brewing Company! Speaking of fun flavors, Thirsty Street Brewing's pepper pale ale is on tap, expect light, crisp and spicy as this is made with fresh habanero and jalapeno peppers.
