More to come for the Boise brewery community

Quite a few breweries joined Boise in 2017, but the fun won't stop there. This year, Bear Island Brewing is planning on opening a new brewery in a unique setting, the former Boise Firehouse No. 6. Since they're currently operating out of their two-car garage, this taproom would be an exciting step for their team. According to this article , husband and wife Beth and Steve Bechtel plan to start renovations and open by the end of the year.

Standing out in a growing industry: Boise breweries

An article written in October of 2017 discusses a few of the new breweries to Boise and what makes them unique in this growing beer community. After visiting two of the three listed, I find their uniqueness creates an enjoyable environment. With the brewery list getting longer for Boise, it's vital to stand out and create a memorable experience to keep the customers returning for more.

New kids on the block: White Dog Brewing

Opening their doors to Boise locals in 2017, White Dog Brewing is one of the newer breweries in town. Bringing a variety of beer options for every taste and a unique "frost rail" from Bozeman, Montana, White Dog has made an exciting impression on the Boise beer scene. Their taproom features games, darts, shuffleboard and live music on some nights. The atmosphere is lively and the beer was definitely worth the trip. I recommend trying the delicious blood-orange hefeweizen. I think White Dog is an excellent addition to the growing community of Boise breweries.
