*** PAYETTE BREWING CO ***
River Street Brewery
"We have made plenty of progress on the construction of our new facility but there is a ways to go.  We don't have a firm date for opening the new facility yet (and we don't want to jinx ourselves).  The great news is that our four-vessel, sixty-barrel NSI brewing system has arrived along with all the various parts and pieces. We will begin the installation of the system once our floors receive their final protective coating.  A handful of 240 barrel fermentors and brite tanks will arrive closer to the completion of installation."

About the Charity: Cupid's Undie Run is a "Brief" Run and a Big Party in downtown Boise, held on Valentine's weekend. Proceeds go towards ending neurofibromatosis (NF), which is a childhood genetic disorder that causes tumors all over the nervous system and can result in blindness, deafness, learning disabilities, and severe chronic pain.
