PostModern Brewers Announces Idaho Statewide Distribution of Their Hard Root Beer and Ginger Ale 

PostModern Brewers originally introduced their Hard Root Beer and Ginger Ale to the public in December of 2014 at the Boise, ID Brewery. These unique brews are the creation of award winning head brewer Marvin Kinney. He states: 

"With the recent arrival and popularity of nationally distributed Hard Root beers, we are proud to have been the first in Idaho to brew our own PostModern Hard Root Beer" 

Harkening back to root beer's origins as a mildly alcoholic beverage brewed in 18th century America, PostModern Hard Root Beer is sweet and mildly spicy with notes of mint and cherry. Excellent by itself, with a scoop of vanilla or mixed into a cocktail. 4% ABV. 

Like root beer, ginger ale originally was mildly alcoholic and was prescribed as a curative. PostModern Hard Ginger Ale has that distinctive ginger heat on the back of your tongue and a rich sweetness up front. Excellent over ice or mixed into your favorite cocktail. 4% ABV. 

Based on the success of the Hard Root Beer and Ginger Ale at PostModern brewery and venues throughout Boise, PostModern Brewers has entered into statewide distribution agreements. PostModern Hard Root Beer and Ginger Ale are now available on tap at numerous venues throughout the state. For a complete listing of venues and beers please visit postmodernbrewers.com 

PostModern Brewers is the brewery component of Grind Modern Burger located at 705 W Fulton Street, Boise Idaho 83702. Grind Modern Burger, as you probably could tell from the name, is all about burgers but it doesn't stop there. Our menu of hand-crafted cocktails and beers brewed by our own PostModern Brewers, is the perfect compliment to any dining experience.

Kerry Thomas update (via Cory Thomas):
"This might not seem big, but it's the first time in more than 3 weeks Kerry has been able to sleep on her side. Her donor sight on the left thigh is healing well so she can now roll onto that side alleviating a little of the pain from her back where she has a lot of exposed nerve endings. Tomorrow we will be released for outpatient care here in Salt Lake City. Kerry has battled bravely and admirably through having 30% of her body injured with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. A condi tion that has a 66% mortality rate in her case ( I'm glad we didn't know this statistic until today ). She bounced back from an AFib heart rate, struggled through breathing difficulties, GI issues, and skin grafts all while maintaining a positive attitude. I believe her beautiful spirit and personality will leave a lasting impression on everyone in the Burn Unit at the University of Utah Hospital. Recovery is expected to take a year or more. I'm sure there will be more hurdles, but with everyone's continued prayers, thoughts, positive vibes, kind words, warm wishes, and support Kerry and her family will get through it. Thank you all! Kerry Thomas Steve Caldwell Robin Caldwell Lori Hardisty Christopher Thomas Andrew Caldwell"
