What's Hoppin' this Week? 7/17

It's time yet again for WHTW, your weekly planner for the world of INW beer. After having a great time (and great beer) in Sandpoint last weekend, I will be spending this upcoming weekend in Billings, MT. While the trip isn't strictly beer related, I do plan on checking out as many local breweries as I can, so if you have any suggestions of places I must visit, please reach out. As usual, you can follow along on social media to see where I end up. Cheers! 🍻
