I don’t know what took me so long to notice, but I stumbled upon a “new” bottleshop in Boise this weekend.
Brewforia is located on Miluakee near Carls Jr and he’s been open for business since November. They are currently preparing their new site in Meridian near the Overland and Eagle intersection. A little birdie told me there will even be a modest menu when the new location opens.
At aproximately 350 beer selections currently, they have a nice range of choices. I picked up a Sierra Nevada 30th aniversary Imperial Stout, and a couple from 21st Ammendment. (how could I NOT bring home something called “monks blood”)
They have a few rotating taps as well for samples and pints as well if you are so inclined to sit and have a full glass. Which I was…
I realy think that Brewforia fills a niche or a gap in the bottled beer retail landscape in Boise. The Co-Op does well and has a decent selection but is not very conveniant for us west enders. New Vintage is a wine shop that has a few regional beers but I have witnessed the effects of them being pretty low on their distributors priority list due to the relatively low volume they move.
It will be good to have a real bottle shop in Meridian/West Boise. The usual suspects are represented, Sierra Nevada,
