Pig Sky Brew Series is BACK with SMOKESHOW the All American Lager now pouring on tap! Whats it like you wonder? We'll let me tell ya.
👇
If you judge books by the cover like me, (and lets be real, like most people) just know that this beer isnt just a pretty face(label). It's light, it's crisp, it's refreshingly crushable, hydrateable, slamable, hot damn! even keg standable!
🤣
On tap at the shack in Emigrant. This is the start of our 4th Summer with @katabaticbrewing Pig Sky Brew Series and Im stoked to share this beer with everyone!
🍻
Also, typing Pig with lipstick, sunglasses, stripping pole, and mountains into chatgpt was as good of a decision as uploading a pic of Gonzo (our Rough Collie) and asking what he would look like as a human. No disappointments all round.
🤣

#montana #rural #problems #fixed

Ducktape, chewing gum, swiss army knife and probably a little chunk of C-4 Explosives will get this job done. I knew watching MacGyver as a kid would set me up for this exact moment in time. We will not dig up concrete in the dish pit! Optimism will get us open Friday!!

It's that time of year where you'll start seeing these rigs rolling around and slanging the goods all over SW Montana. This pic was at a ranch all the way in Three Forks.

If you want some of our BBQ Chow for a private event, and want it served from one of our 3 classic trucks, just holler. Email Sheena Catering@followyernosebbq.com and we will get the wheels rollin' and smoke blowin' for ya. There is some availability left this summer, yall.

📢SUNDAY SPECIAL 10/13📢

The name? Some of our best homies are Kevin And Dewy (pictured on the second page at cooking class in the Yucatan 6 years ago). And when the universe gives you the opportunity to name an Andouille Sandwich "The Kevin" AndDewy Sandwich - you just make it. Serving today only (Sunday 10/13) but it's so damn good we might just make it a staple on the menu when AndDewy Sausage hits the rotation board. Thank you friends for letting me make this sandwich.
