WhiSKI Wednesdays at Wildrye

Sip, Socialize & Stoke Your Winter Spirit — WhiSKI Wednesdays at Wildrye

As the days shorten and Montana’s mountain peaks begin to hint at snow, there’s no better way to get in the mood than pairing one of life’s finer pleasures — whiskey — with anticipation for the ski season. That’s exactly what WhiSKI Wednesdays brings to Bozeman: a fun, community-centered evening at Wildrye Distilling, blending great drinks, local vibes, visual storytelling, and winter stoke.

WhiSKI Wednesdays is a seasonal event series hosted at Wildrye’s tasting room in Bozeman. On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, they’ll kick off the fall lineup of these evenings.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Free to attend, open to the public

• Drink specials and door prizes

• A film screening of Level 1’s “Pleasure” on the big screen

• Cozy, lively atmosphere filled with whiskey lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and community energy

Wildrye itself is no stranger to blending craftsmanship with local character. Their spirits are distilled in Bozeman using Montana-grown corn, barley, and mountain water, and they publish a range of craft whiskeys, gins, brandies, and more.
