A new brewery in Big Sky Town Center held its grand opening on July 25 to a full house looking to meet the owners, partake in a pig roast, and fill their pint glasses.
The Beehive Basin Brewery, located in the Peaks Building behind Roxy’s Market, held a soft opening on July 10, but is now pouring pints and filling growlers in its tasting room seven days a week from 12-8 p.m.
Buck’s T-4 Lodge catered a pig roast for the brewery’s grand opening.
Owners Casey Folley and Andy Liedberg – also the head brewer – welcomed the overflowing crowd at 2 p.m., and took their turn with the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce’s giant scissors for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The chamber’s Executive Director Kitty Clemens handed over the brewery’s “first dollar,” gifted in a picture frame.
“It was a lot of fun,” Folley said. “A bunch of people came down and were trying beer even if they don’t usually drink beer. They seemed to all like it.”
Montana law limits tasting room customers to three beers apiece, and bartenders poured more than 600 before the day was out, according to Folley.
Buck’s T-4 Lodge provided two pigs for the roast, catering the event on site. The swine were fed spent grain from the brewing process.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
