CRUISE THE CRAFT BEVERAGE CORRIDOR

There are so many great places to sample and taste in Garden City that you could spend the entire day savoring syrahs or pounding pilsners. In fact, there are more wineries, cideries, and breweries per square mile in this town than anywhere else in Idaho. The question is: Which one will be your favorite?

Barbarian Brewing

Who knew a barbarian could be a good thing? According to the Barbarian Brewing crew, European barbarians made many of the beer styles that we know and love. Their taproom’s imaginative brewers meld the barbarians’ old-word style with a new-world flavor that comes from aging their beer in wine, whiskey, and bourbon barrels and adding regional fruits. The result is a delightful variety of traditional and experimental ales that’s anything but crude.

Crafting Community Through Exceptional Beers. Bert’s Brewing is a labor of love born from Rob’s early passion for brewing, starting as a homebrewer at 17. His journey led him to earn a Master Brewer’s Certification in Germany, while Sidney discovered her own love for beer in Newport Beach. Fate brought them together at Chapman Crafted, where they fell in love and decided to create Bert’s Brewing in Boise.

What do cinders have to do with wine, you might ask? In Idaho, a lot. Cinder sources its outstanding grapes from the volcanic soil (hence the “cinder”) of the Snake River Valley for truly local wines. Winemaker Melanie Krause has racked up countless awards for her chardonnay, dry viognier, off-dry Riesling, and more. Cinder’s warehouse tasting room is a favorite for private parties and group wine tastings.

split rail

Split Rail wines are fun. As the folks at the winery put it, they’re meant for people with an “unfettered love for drinking, eating, and debauchery” — and that comes through loud and clear in their approach to winemaking. Here, you’ll find Daft Pink, a dry rose that comes in either bottles or cans; huge reds with names like Horned Beast and Swamp Donkey; and a classic tempranillo called Bearded Quixote. Irreverent? Yes. But flimsy? Never.
