Craft Beer
Missoula Craft Beer Week is a collection of events celebrating Missoula’s burgeoning craft beer culture. Missoula Craft Beer Week is hosted by Craft Beer Promotions LLC and is popular among University students and long-time Montana residents.
Typically, Craft Beer Week takes place in late Spring and includes a Brews Cruise poker run, a football tournament, a shuffleboard tournament, a car show, a Bacon n’ Beer brunch, and a Crossfit competition.

University of Montana
Because they promised never to challenge the city of Helena, Montana to become the state capital, Missoula was granted the right in 1893 to be the home of the state University. The University of Montana is, therefore, the oldest institute of higher learning in the state.
It invites prospective students to “Receive a world-class education in the heart of the West.” Also, the University of Montana Grizzlies are competitive and fun to watch as they compete in the various sports genres.
