Welcome Beer Lovers!
Moscow Brewing Company is a small brewery located in beautiful Moscow, Idaho. Nestled amongst the gently rolling hills and fertile fields of barley and wheat, Moscow is a historic hamlet with roots dating back to the mid-1800's. One of the first businesses to spring up in this budding community was the original Moscow Brewery, established in 1882 near the present day corner of A and Main St. Moscow Brewery served Muscovites for over 20 years not only as the local watering hole, but also as a key community meeting hall and one of the few sources of ice for early ice box refrigerators. Surviving all manner of frontier town obstacles, including brewers' mental illness, infighting, bankruptcy, and industrialization, Moscow Brewery ultimately succumb to arson in 1908.
Fast forward through years of Prohibition and then the turmoil of the brewing industry post-prohibition, Moscow was finally reunited with it's native Brewery when Lucas Rate revived the business in February 2013. His passion for brewing and devotion to re-establishing the small town feel and prominence of the local brewery led him to grow the business through community involvement and commitment to handcrafted, small batch ales. After working tirelessly for years, in 2016 he found himself looking to spend more time with his growing family, and sought to pass the torch to a new steward of the Moscow Brewing Company. As fate would have it, a group of long time homebrewers had been planning to open a brewery in Moscow when news of Lucas' shift in focus came to light. Our passion for the community of Moscow and obsession with local craft beer, made Moscow Brewing Company a perfect fit. Born and raised in the very wheat and barley fields surrounding Moscow, we are honored to have the opportunity to keep the Brewery doors open and add to the legacy of Moscow's historic brewing traditions.
We are devoted to exceptional craft beers, all brewed in house on a 3BBL system, with local malt and hops showcasing the amazing growing region we call home. When you walk in the door at Moscow Brewing Company you will find the beer cold and the atmosphere warm. Join us on the patio during the summer for live music, or relax into your weekend with our wide range of brewery events. Spend an afternoon in our small tap room in North Moscow and find yourself among friends! Moscow Brewing Company is a haven for beer lovers!
