After months of never really saying anything, today I have actual, useful and exciting news, I have a building. I signed a lease last week and just got the keys today, so Payette Brewing Company has a home that isn't an actual home. If it is of any use to you, here is a link to a Google map of where the building is. The building is technically in Garden City, but the address is Boise. All of the permitting stuff for Garden City goes through Boise and the mailing address is Boise, so to be honest, I don't know what Garden City actually does. I'm not trying to dog on Garden City, I just don't get it, maybe it is just my practical side talking out loud.
I put up an photo album on the PBC Facebook page with the "day 1" shots. There is a lot of work to be done to get the brewery up and running, so use your imagination with the pictures. I will probably also start using a Picasa or Flickr photo album since it can be linked up with the blog much better than Facebook, anyone use or like either of these? I have to be careful with too many online things, I don't want to feel the wrath of you guys if I start to fall behind on updating everything.
The good thing for everyone in Boise is that now that there is a space, I will start to have tastings at the brewery as things get going. Need to make sure the City(s) are okay with that first. No more reading about the beer, time to start drinking it!
Feel free to stop by and check it out sometime. **Disclaimer** I have no schedule of when I will be there, so stopping by is a total crapshoot at this point.

Good news and congrats! Looks like some fine space. For any readers who are wondering, Mike's new space is very similar to that of many craft brewers I have toured, even better than some national award-winners. And yes a brewer needs lots of "elbow room!" Good luck with BOB: Boise's Own Brew!
