The H.S. Gilbert Brewery looking very much as it looked 140 years ago.


The H.S. Gilbert Brewery looking very much as it looked over 140 years ago

Deep within the history of Virginia City stands Montana's first brewery, established in 1863 by German born brewmeister, H.S. Gilbert. Here you will find a captivating cabaret show performed by The Brewery Follies. Except for a little restructuring, done to make room for the small stage, piano, and bar, the architecture and atmosphere of the building is much the same as it was over 100 years ago.

The Brewery Follies was created in 1984 when it became apparent that additional entertainment was needed in Virginia City to compliment the already existing Virginia City Players. After the sale of Bovey Restorations to the State of Montana, the operation of the Brewery Follies was awarded to Verdon Ventures, under the control of Mike and Jill Verdon. For years the Brewery and The Brewery Follies existed under the management of Bovey Restorations which was founded by Charlie Bovey in 1946.

The Verdons return for the 2011 season with their talented cast of Montana performers to create their twisted musical revue filled with biting political and social satire, comedy sketches, and demented song parodies.
