Some important news of note for you craft beer enthusiasts as Meridian will get it's first locally owned and operated Microwbrewery. Enter, Slanted Rock Brewery, which will be located at the High Desert Marketplace in Meridian. Yes, the news is a little dated, however, I'm attempting to get more info than just reported by the Idaho Statesman.
Slanted Rock Brewery plans to open in the fall, they currently have plans only for a tasting room (no kitchen) and a 15 Barrel Brewing System, which will follow the same business model as both Payette Brewing Company and Crooked Fence Brewing. This will certainly keep the valley's Food Trucks hopping, no pun intended.
The new brewery, owned by Bob and Alesa Lonseth will serve four staple brews initially. A Kolsch, an IPA, Imperial IPA and a Scottish Red Ale will adorn the tap handles in the new Meridian Tasting Room. Being natives of Meridian, it is reported that they both wanted to operate in their community and support their local economy.
Cheers to Bob and Alesa on their new venture and many successes in the future.
I can honestly say that this is the first I have heard of Slanted Rock. So "thank you!" And the greatest news of all is that it is only a stones throw from my home. Even better, this is great news for my mundane Wednesday.
