A new brewery is under construction in Garden City with plans to open this fall, Boise Dev reported on July 26.

Bert’s Brewing Company is a production and tasting room located at 3577 N. Brown St. about 2 blocks west of Western Collective.

The brewery will offer an array of beer styles and alcoholic beverages including lagers, ales, porters, sours, non-alcoholic beers, and various wines on tap. Along with all the beverage options, there will also be food trucks at the location Thursday through Saturday.

The owners, Sidney and Rob Harrelson both share a passion for the beer and restaurant industry.

“I first got passionate about beer through my sister because it was something we could bond over,” Rob said, “I started reading books about it and as soon as I turned 21 I got into the industry.”

Rob and Sidney first met while they were working as a brewer and a bartender.

“I started working as a bartender and managing restaurants and through this, I was able to learn about purchasing beer for a rotating tap list,” Sidney said.

Alongside the wide selection of beverages on tap, Sidney and Rob also plan to host a variety of events at Bert’s Brewing, including a classic car rally, live music, trivia nights and an Oktoberfest.

The 4000 sq ft space was originally a three-tenant industrial space. Sidney and Rob started with an “empty shell lot” and have been working to transform the space.

Two-thirds of the building will be used for production space, while the other third of it will be used as the tasting room.

The tasting room will have two large garage doors that lead out to an additional 1,500 sq ft patio space with outdoor seating and three fire pits.

Bert’s Brewing is set to open in either September or October with plans for a grand opening celebration a few weeks after a soft opening.
