A LOOK BACK AT THE BREWERIES THAT OPENED AND CLOSED IN 2017
By Bob Hubler
When the Lost Grove Brewing brewery and tap room opened in Boise in 2017, they became the 80th brewery to open in the State of Idaho since 1984 when Tim Batt opened his Snake River Brewing brewery just west of Caldwell, Idaho.

Idaho added six new breweries in 2017 albeit one brewery was a reopening of a brewery that closed the year before. Moscow Brewing was the name of a brewery that operated in Moscow, Idaho from the 1882 until 1908. Lucas Rate started a brewery in Moscow in 2013 and named it the "Moscow Brewing Company" in honor of that first Moscow brewery. His brewery shut down in 2016.
The Moscow Brewery reopened in June 2017 with new equipment and new owners. See full story here.

The Radio Brewing Company became Kellogg's first brewery since the 1800's when it opened in April 2017. They are a Brew Pub offering a full range of food to compliment their craft beer on tap. Check their blog out at http://www.radiobrewingcompany.com/blog-2/
The Shattuck Brewery became Idaho's 77th brewery when it opened in Elk River, Idaho in 2017. This very unique Idaho brewery is on the road to nowhere located just outside of Idaho's remote Elk River. This area is known as a great area to hunt in the fall. Nate Schwartz is the founder, owner and brew master. He plans to keep his taproom closed in the Winter months.
