AND THE IDAHO BREWERIES COUNT DROPS TO 37

Sad to report that the Bi-Plane Brewery in Post Falls, Idaho has closed it's Doors.

I was going to visit this Brewery in this March, but alas, it is no more.

Owner Doug Martindale put the Brewery up for sale several months ago.  Asking price $180,000. Sadly no takers.

Hopefully the Cloud 9 BrewPub and Bogus Brewing both in Boise can open soon to move the number of Idaho Breweries closer to 40.

And the Idaho Brewery Count reaches 38

Long Time, No Blog.....

Sometimes, life gets in the way, but since my last blog, many new Breweries have arrived in Idaho bringing the number of Idaho Breweries up to 38 with 12 of them in the Boise Area, 13 if you count Beer Valley in Ontario, Oregon just across the Border, but still in Treasure Valley.

Woodland Empire Ale Craft Brewery and Tap House opened this week.  And the Edge Brewpub will open by the end of January becoming the 38th Brewery in Idaho.

I have updated the BoiseBeerCulture and IdahoBreweries Web pages to add the latest breweries.

We visited the Woodland Empire Ale Craft Brewery yesterday and sampled their current 4 beers on tap.
Really liked 3 out of the 4 beers and especially their City of Trees IPA.

Their current offerings are
1 - City of Trees IPA
2 - In The Morning English Mild Ale
3 - Gold Days Belgian Triple
4 - Rabbit Fighter ESB

In 1888, there were 33 different Breweries in the State of Idaho

In 1888, there were 33 different Breweries in the State of Idaho....that is the most breweries there have ever been in the state at one time.   Although National Prohibtion Started in 1919, Idaho started their own state wide prohibition in 1916....so there were no breweries in Idaho from 1916 to 1934.  A few breweries came back in Idaho after 1934, but by 1961, they were all gone....the last one the Bohemian Brewery in Boise.  Idaho was without any Breweries until Tim Batt started his Snake River Brewery in 1984.  The T.W. Fischer BrewPub opened in Coeur D' Alene in 1987.  Table Rock BrewPub opened in Boise in 1987 also.

Currently there are 31 Breweries open in Idaho.   List of Idaho Breweries.  Click on the Link to see a complete list of current Breweries in the State of Idaho and a List of those that have com an gone since 1984.  Also included is a short list of Breweries that plan to open in 2013.

The Year 2013 should see at least 34 Breweries in the State finally exceeding the all time high for most Breweries in the State.

Dave & Busters in Boise - New Brew

I was talking to Brian down at Dave and Busters last week.  He was very excited about installing new Taps for a yet un-named beer that will be brewed exclusively for Dave and Busters in Boise.   And it will be brewed by a local brewery.   He would not disclose which local brewery, but he did estimate that they would sell 50 Kegs per week.

So which local brewery has a system large enough to brew enough gallons of beer to supply 50 kegs per week????  Big announcement should happen soon.....
