The expansion will include cellar tanks, production equipment, tasting room with outdoor beer garden right off the Greenbelt and the hiring of additional employees. “We are excited to grow Payette, our equipment and staff to increase the quality and consistency of our beer” says founder Mike Francis. With this expansion, Payette Brewing will have the largest beer production capability in the state of Idaho. Since opening in May 2010, Payette Brewing has expanded its distribution from Idaho to Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Utah.
“We’ve come a long way in four years and I am stoked to see what the future holds with this new expansion. We want this new place to be a destination for locals and visitors alike so we’re putting a lot of effort into making the tasting room a great spot to hang out” says Francis. The new brewery will feature a tasting room more than triple the current facility’s tasting room and will continue to partner with area food trucks for lunch and dinner service.
Payette expects to start construction mid-Summer and plans to be operational early 2016.
