BREWERIES THAT PLAN TO OPEN IN 2019

Just a brief look at some potential new Idaho Breweries that plan to open in the upcoming year.  These breweries have already started construction or completed construction awaiting licensing and permits.

SPRING CREEK BREWING IN AVIMORE

The Spring Creek Brewing Company is the brain child of Jeff Badigian and Marc Grubert.  This brewery is being built from the "ground up", meaning that they did not buy an existing building for their brewery.  Their brewery and pizzeria will be located in the Avimore Community just northwest of Boise.

DANELION FARM BREWERY IN MELBA

The Danelion Farm Brewery is not on a lot of local craft beer fans radar.  This brewery is being built by Nathan Guidinger on his small farm near Melba, Idaho.  His building is  complete and most of his equipment has been delivered. He is building this brewery on his own.  All the work is being done by his friends and family, so this brewery could be up and running in  the first half of 2019.

Christian and Lisa Hanley purchased the Forage Bistro & Lounge in Driggs, Idaho in 2015.  They now want to want open a brewery.  Last year, Thai Teton opened the first brewery in Driggs.

"The owners of Forage, along with Tatanka Tavern’s Kelly Williams and Jackson Hole resident Gabe Aufderheide, will open Citizen 33 Brewery & Gastropub on Main Street in Driggs in November with brewing equipment already purchased (it’s not onsite, yet) and permits under review with the city (not in place yet)."


Tatanka Tavern has already obtained an Idaho Brewers pub license for the brewery.  The original plan was to open the brewery November 2018 according the story.  Now the plan is open in the first quarter of 2019.
