E-Malt.com News article: USA, ID: Ruckus Brewing to open in Garden City by mid-September

A new brewery is set to open in Garden City, Boise Dev reported on August 22.

Ruckus Brewing, owned by Kyle Durham, is going into the old Loose Screw Brewing location at 4348 W. Chinden Boulevard.

Kyle Durham is a long-time homebrewer, who has been brewing beer for 20+ years.

“You don’t have to stick to a certain style parameter and just go outside and do whatever style you want to do,” he said. “Personally, that’s what I like, the creativity aspect of it. It’s part chemistry and part art.”

Last year, Durham won the Western Idaho Fair Beer of the Year contest with his Mexican lager. This beer, now branded as Mucha Lucha, was brewed and canned by Sockeye Brewing and is available to taste at the Western Idaho Fair.

Durham had been considering opening his own brewery for a while, and winning the Western Idaho Fair contest helped give him the boost to take that leap. He purchased the equipment from Loose Screw Brewing, leased out the former Loose Screw Brewing space next to Cobby’s, and has been working on renovating over the past several months.

“We’re just trying to keep it lively with TVs, and we’re going to try and get an outdoor patio, which may be down the road a bit,” Durham said. “We just want to make it a fun place for families to come down and have a beer.”

Ruckus Brewing also plans to partner with Cobby’s next door to offer food, with QR codes on the tables so brewery guests can order and have the food delivered.

Durham plans to have 10 beers on tap, including Mucha Lucha and some collaborations with Loose Screw, and will also feature some IPAs and lagers.

Ruckus Brewing will be both kid and dog-friendly. Durham hopes to open by mid-September, in time for football season and Oktoberfest.
