Billings’ favorite end-of-summer tradition is back and bigger than ever. On Friday, September 5, from 5–10 PM at ZooMontana, Billings TrailNet will host the 25th annual Ales for Trails, a milestone celebration of trails, brews, and community spirit. This year’s event features more than 50 local and regional microbrews (check out the list below), wine, seltzers, and non-alcoholic options, plus an expanded lineup of food trucks including Pops Tots, Khanthaly Eggrolls, Let’s Get Fresh, The Corn Dog Company, and Vampire Penguin. Guests can enjoy beer pretzel necklaces (snacklaces), raffle prizes including a New Belgium Fat Tire Bike, a Blackstone Griddle, a Mattress King gift card, a package from Concierge Health and Wellness and Clark Marten Photography.  Entertainment includes live music from The Soul Funk Collective, Silent Disco, giant beer pong, corn hole, and a 360-degree photo booth.

Beyond the food, music, and fun, Ales for Trails carries a deeper mission: every ticket sold helps expand and maintain the trail network that keeps Billings active, connected, and safe. To ensure everyone gets home safely, Billings TrailNet is partnering with AVA Law and Watkins Distributing to offer up to $25 off Uber rides from ZooMontana. Raise a glass, support your trails, and celebrate 25 years of Billings’ biggest community party!
