Even though this brewery is located in Nampa, it is well worth the drive out to it. They have 16+ tables and 20 beers to pick from. Dogs are allowed inside and you might even get to see @Baxter.the.frenchie. This brewery is originally from San Diego, but has been a hit in Boise so far. They have a triple IPA coming out soon that will definitely be sought after. They put on random events from time to time - for example, a girl scout cookie pairing and an ugly sweater christmas party event. Check out their event calendar to pick your next event to go to!

This brewery is settled in Table Rock restaurant's old venue. It is the perfect place for them; with more than enough seating to accommodate different party sizes to a whole bunch of tasty beers. I was lucky to taste quite a few and they are delicious. Dan, the owner, is so friendly and will strike up a conversation with you to get to know his customers better. They also have outside seating and 4 TVs going. They too are dog and kid friendly. Smoke and Thyme food truck is there every day (and their menu looks so tasty!). Check out their Facebook events to see their trivia and live music nights. *They also have a great deal of filling your growler for $7 on Mondays.
