The perfect time to drink local beer and also support Idaho hop farmers, barley farmers and Idaho’s craft breweries. The craft beer industry has been booming over the past few years. Idaho has over 50 breweries putting it 10th in the United States in terms of breweries per capita. Idaho breweries like Payette Brewing, Sockeye Brewing and Powderhaus Brewing use Idaho hops and malt barley.
Did you know that Idaho is the nation’s number one producer of barley and the number two producer of hops? The Idaho microbrew industry is also achieving regional and national recognition for its quality brews crafted from locally grown barley and hops. These beers are making their way into grocery stores and restaurants across the state and beyond.
Our goal is to help consumers confidently recognize their craft beer is authentically Idaho-made, featuring exclusively top-tier barley, hops, or other ingredients cultivated within our beloved Gem State.
What makes an Idaho Brewery authentically farm-to-bottle? We look for breweries that are utilizing at least one Idaho agricultural product. This can be Idaho-grown malt, wheat or hops!
Make a day out of it! We have created the perfect Idaho farm to beer trail here for you to explore.
Idaho Brewers United (IBU) is a non-profit, trade organization founded in 2012 and is dedicated to Protecting Idaho’s craft beer industry. Members include craft breweries located in Idaho and affiliated businesses.
