Bozeman Brewing Co. to start canning beers

Bill Hyland, the Bozeman Brewing Co. brew
master from Boston, sits over a snifter of Bozone
Amber Ale and talks about the thing he loves
most in the world: beer.
Maybe that’s not quite
true (he got married this summer).
The brewery added a canner in October and will
begin selling beers in cans.
That is, Hyland said, “As soon as we can figure
out how to use it. We’ve been planning to do this
for a long time.”
A man walks into the brewery at 12:15 p.m. one
Friday, 15 minutes before open, and orders eight
growlers, eight pint glasses and eight shirts for a
wedding reception. “My son told me to come to
you guys,” he tells Hyland.
Bozone’s newest addition comes at a time when
Montana ranks third in per capita breweries in the
country. Last year’s stats, released by the Montana
Brewers Association, reported one brewery for
every 36,645 people in Montana.
The numbers trail Vermont, which sits at No. 1, with
one brewery per 29,797 people, and Oregon, No. 2, at
31,662.
The brewery, owned by Todd and Lisa Danzl-Scott,
seems to have a strong hold on local brewing, and stays
full during pub hours.
Still, it could be better, hence the canner.
“We’re not brewing at capacity right now,” said
Hyland, his sharp accent leading the conversation
in the empty room that would hold the added
equipment. The building had to undergo a remodel
to increase size, and construction started months
before the canner’s arrival.
The addition comes at a time when Bozeman has
fallen behind Missoula in breweries per capita.
Missoula’s Big Sky Brewing Co. ranks No. 37 in
U.S. craft beer sales, and No. 50 in overall beer
sales (including Anheuser, Miller and Pabst at
Nos. 1, 2 and 3).
Bozone’s addition of a canner gives it better footing
when it comes to appealing to beer drinkers who can’t
bring bottles on hiking or river trips.
1,753 craft breweries last year accounted for 4.8 percent
of total beer sales in the U.S., slightly up from 2009.

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.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
