ONE BREWERY HAS ALREADY OPENED IN 2022

Outpost Brewing

Outpost Brewing opened in Coeur d'Alene in January 2022 becoming Idaho's first brewery to open in the new year and brings the total of Idaho's operating breweries to 86.  This brewery opened at the old Slate Creek Brewery at 105 N 4th Street. Slate Creek Brewery has had a couple owner changes over the years.  Now they have a new name in  addition to new owners.

BREWERIES THAT PLAN TO OPEN IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2022

Black Canyon Brewing

Emmett's newest brewery plans to open downtown at 110 North Washington by this summer.   Amanda and Dave Dietz will be the owner/operators with Dave handling the Brewing on a 5 BBL system.  This will be a full-fledged Brew Pub with their own brewed beer and also food.  Located around the corner from Emmett's popular Main Street Beverage, this will be a wonderful addition to downtown Emmett, Idaho.  They are also considering having a small home brew supply area in their building.

Idawild Brewing

Barbarian Brewing will be moving from their original location to a bigger location at 32nd and Clay, Garden City this year.  Idawild Brewing will reap the benefit as they will move into their Barbarian's original location in Garden City.  Matt and Cortni Nadar will be the owners and Matt will be the Brewer.  They purchased the original 5 BBL brew system from Barbarian. They  hope to open early Summer at 5720 W Chinden, but have to wait until Barbarian opens at their new location.

BREWERIES THAT PLAN TO OPEN IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2022

Highlander Beer

Remember the story of White Dog Brewing?  White Dog was a brewery in Bozeman, Montana that opened a second brewery in Boise, Idaho.  They remodeled the old Table Rock Brewery building and opened in September 2017.

Highlander Beer is a brewery in Missoula, Montana that will open an Idaho location in Salmon.  They  are currently remodeling the old Kings building at 605 Main Street and plan to open a Brew Pub featuring pizza and other pub food by years end.  They will brew on-site with a 10 BBL system. This location is just across the street from Bertram's Salmon Valley Brewery which was sold in September 2021 and expected to reopen under new ownership.

Salmon should have two breweries by the end of the year.

Salmon, Idaho Brewery

This brewery, formerly Bertram's Salmon Valley Brewing, was recently purchased and the new owners are currently looking for a new Head Brewer. They plan to reopen this 7 BBL in the first quarter of 2022.  I am not sure if they will continue to use the Bertram's name.  This brewery is located at 535 Main Street, Salmon, Idaho, just across the street from the future Highlander brewery.

Looking for a Head Brewer.

BREWERY ON THE MOVE

Barbarian Brewing

Barbarian Brewing is moving their Garden City Brewery and Tap Room.  Their new location is on the southwest corner of 34th and Clay in Garden City.  Check out the above story about Idawild Brewing.

Quote from their Facebook page: Sneak peak of the future home of Barbarian Brewing! We will be moving our current Brewery and Taproom to 32nd & Clay in Garden City sometime Fall 2021. We are keeping our current 10bbl brewing system and do not intend to increase production or add distribution into the plans. Our goal is to build a kick ass taproom and beer garden, partner with a local food truck on-site and continue to create a rotating selection of IPAs, Kettle Sours, Candy Sours, Ice Cream Ales, Bourbon Barrel Stouts, Spontaneously fermented Barrel Aged Sours, and whatever other crazy ideas our brewing team dreams up
