Expanding Distribution East
Boise, Idaho (May 9, 2016) - Payette Brewing Company, Idaho's largest brewery and makers of Rustler IPA, is thrilled to announce they will begin distribution in Montana and Wyoming this month with Oklahoma on the horizon. 
"With the proximity of Wyoming and Montana to Idaho and the growth in those states towards craft beers made this an easy decision for us at Payette Brewing Company. The distributors have been very excited about us entering these states and have been supportive on making it happen. We wanted to make sure we could supply these states with inventory and our new brewing facility with over 100,000 barrel capacity is now allowing us to expand in more markets," said Tyler Stucky Director of Sales and Marketing. 
Payette Brewing's full line up, including year-round and seasonal beers, will be ready to pack in for any adventure. Montana and Wyoming will be the sixth and seventh state Payette Brewing adds to their distribution portfolio, following Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Payette will partner with four distributors in Montana and six distributors in Wyoming allowing state wide coverage. Beer f ans are encouraged to follow Payette's social media for the latest updates or visit  www.PayetteBrewing.com

*** BOISE BREW MINUTE ***
Via Drowned Chipmunk:
"I've been producing the Boise Brew Minute for about a year and a half now. I've been happy to have it play on  Radio Boise and archive it here. Lately, I've had several people ask if they could subscribe to the podcast and have it show up automatically on their phone. It seemed like a lot of work, but I finally decided to do it. I cleaned up the RSS feed so you can now subscribe using on  Stitcher or adding this URL to your podcast client:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/BoiseBrewMinute
I'll continue working to get it in Google Play and iTunes as well as others and add links to the "Boise Brew Minute Podcast" widget on the right side of the page. If you listen, please give it a review where ever you get your podcasts."
