Water. Yeast. Grains. Hops. That’s all it takes to make beer. But what we do with those simple ingredients within these walls is what makes us special.
Foothills began brewing beer at our West 4th Street location in March 2005, with three 15-barrel fermenters. Jamie and his brewers managed to crank out 800 barrels of beer that year, and doubled that output the following year.
As demand and production continued to increase, the need became obvious for more space. The solution came in the form of a 48,000 square foot warehouse a few miles away, an old manila envelope factory that was retro-fitted with brewing equipment and became Foothills’ main production facility, located at 3800 Kimwell Drive.
Today both brewery locations continue to produce our top-quality beers. We offer weekend tours from our tasting room at our main brewing facility. Conversely, if you ask nicely at the downtown brewpub, you can probably get a peek at the operation.

3 week old bottle A: Clear mahogany tea color with a short but lasting tan head leaving sheets of lace. S: Nuts and chocolate with faint orange and herbs. T: Light citrus hops over toasty malts with light chocolate and orange lingering. Hoppier than expected. M: Smooth creamy mouthfeel with ample soft carbonation and tart, bitter finish. O: Very nice, Great flavor balance and slick texture make it a winner for me.
