LIST OF MODERN ERA IDAHO CRAFT BREWERIES (1984 - Present)

In 1888, there were 33 different Breweries in the State of Idaho.  That was the most breweries that were open in the state at one time prior to prohibition.
   Although National Prohibition Started in 1919, Idaho started their own state wide prohibition in 1916.  There were no breweries in Idaho from 1916 to 1934.
 A few breweries came back in Idaho after 1934, but by 1961, they were all gone.  The last one to close was the Bohemian Brewery in Boise. 
Idaho was without any Breweries until Tim Batt started his Snake River Brewery in 1984.  The next brewery to open in Idaho was the Sun Valley Brewing Company.
