Payette burst onto the scene in 2010 with a small stable of eminently drinkable beers. Since then, it has grown by leaps and bounds, filling out its Garden City brewery and taproom, landing handles at practically every bar in town and making its beers widely available (and portable) in cans. Now, it's planning a new facility southwest of downtown complete with more brewing capacity and continued partnership with local food trucks.
