E-Malt.com News article: USA, CA: Bitter Root Brewery increases its beer production

The Bitter Root Brewery is expanding production as it nears its 15th anniversary of craft beer making, ravallirepublic.com, reported on May, 30.

In March, the brewery began construction to add nearly 2,000 square feet of space, extra room that will eventually allow production of 8,000 barrels of beer.

Nicol Musburger, co owner said, “We hit max capacity last year.”

Musburger’s father and brewery owner Tim Bozik said a large part of the expansion is the production of cans.

Beginning in July, the brewery will have retail 12-ounce cans on the market for its Sawtooth Ale, Nut Brown Ale and Single Hop Ale.

Bozik said after the expansion they will stage increases of 1,000 barrels until they hit their max of 8,000 barrels.
