Wallace Brewing Company, 15-barrel microbrewery, began selling its beer in January 2009, in historic Wallace, Idaho. A collaborative effort of Wallace’s Chase Sanborn, Dean Cooper, Rick Magnuson and the Zanettis, the brewery pays homage to the town’s notorious past, creating a brand of beers with mining and bordello-inspired monikers such as ‘Dirty Blonde’, ‘Jackleg Stout’, ‘RedLight Irish Red Ale’, and ‘Idaho Select Light Lager’ . “We want to brew in the honest spirit of the mining heritage,” General Manager, Chase Sanborn said. “It’s not only the prevailing reputation of the town, but also one that can elevate the Wallace Brewing brand.
Crowler from CopenRoss. Clear dark brown, light tan foamy head. Toasty, nutty aroma, mildly sweet. Taste follows with dark, sweet malts and rich nutty flavors. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a really solid example of the style.
On Tap Clear deep chestnut color with a full dense light tan head. Classic nutty and slightly sweet woody malts in the aroma and flavor. Nicely balanced not too sweet or heavy, but a littel more dessert-ish that a standard American Brown.. Full and smooth. Pretty good.

On tap at Wallace, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops upfront, with a toasted biscuity malt backbone. Flavour is very bitter, with lots of bitter pinecones, earthy hops, and biscuity malt. Very bitter, with a little too herbal a finish. Okay.
