USA, ID: Clairvoyant Brewing Company to debut in Boise early this summer

Three home brewers will take their game to the next level when they debut Clairvoyant Brewing Company in Boise, ID early this summer, Idaho Statesman reported on April 16.

Owners Ryan Kowalczyk, Mike Edmondson and Tim Carter will share the brewing responsibilities at the small brewery in Boise’s up-and-coming West End, an industrial area between Downtown Boise and Garden City. If all goes well, the brewery should be open by the end of June.

Clairvoyant will put out a bevy of handcrafted brews (draft and 22-ounce bottles) using a seven-barrel system. The focus is decidedly on hopped-up IPAs, but beer geeks also can expect to find porter, pale ale, kolsch-style lager and a California common beer.

“At first, we’ll mostly keep the beer in house, keep it simple,” Kowalczyk says. “We plan on expanding it later.”

The trio is working hard to get the industrial-looking space, a former auto repair shop at 2800 W. Idaho St., ready for business. And that means installing bright tanks and other brewing equipment, as well as building a taproom so people can get comfortable while quaffing some hoppy brews.

“It will have a modern feel, with one big room with garage doors that open up,” Kowalczyk says.

Clairvoyant Brewing Co. will be open Thursday through Sunday.
