Payette Brewing's Outlaw IPA to be Rebranded Rustler IPA: 
(Boise, ID) Payette Brewing will rebrand Outlaw IPA to Rustler IPA in order to differentiate their bee r brand and to honor requests from fellow breweries. Consumers will start to see the change early September but the complete transition will continue over the Fall. The beer-y goodness inside the can will remain the same as before. Not a grain of barley altered, not a hop to be changed. 
Payette Brewing weighed many options when it came to the name and fate of their IPA. It was decided the best option was to take the opportunity to rebrand the beer with a new name. "Outlaw might have been the name that helped build Payette Brewing, but people drink the beer, not the name. With our new brewery construction underway, I'm excited to start sharing Rustler IPA with beer drinkers all over the West very soon!" says Payette Founder Mike Francis. 
The transition to Rustler will occur over the next few months. Payette will release variety twelve packs, known as "Prospector Packs" with Rustler cans included mid-September. Other canned packages, six packs, twelve packs and Adventure Packs (24 packs) will turn over to Rustler IPA in Idaho and throughout Payette's distribution footprint over the next few months. The can and package artwork of Rustler will be very similar in order to make the change very easy for consumers and retailers.

"We get asked about our opening date quite a bit and we want to give you a quick update to respond to all those questions! We are currently finishing off the remainder of construction to get us the proper 'go ahead' to get brewing. With that said, we are pushing to brew our first batches in the next few weeks (stay tuned) and have beer at your local bars shortly there after. As for our taproom, we plan on continuing the construction of our beautiful bar and tasting facility and should have on-site consumption shortly after our beers are around town.
Stay tuned and we will have regular updates and posts to keep everyone in the know on our last minute progress!  #powderhaus"
