At key points throughout the year we will close the entire pub down after 3pm for special Brewer's Dinners. We pair seasonal and amazing dishes with our staple and seasonal beers, and we discuss each one in depth throughout the evening.
Tickets are first-come, first-serve, and seats are truly limited. We typically post about these events on Facebook and of course, on our chalkboards.
An All Idaho Beer, Cider, Wine and Food Truck Festival!
Every year in May we host an all-idaho craft beer, wine, cider and food-truck festival in the North End. We close down a tiny stretch of 17th street, in between us and Albertson's, and we put up an enormous tent.
The event coincides with the last weekend of American Craft Beer Week, and the tent ensures that even in inclement weather there is plenty of space and craft creations to be had!
Past participants include: 10 Barrel Brewing, Barbarian Brewing, Edge Brewing, Grand Teton Brewing, Woodland Empire AleCraft, Hat Ranch Winery, Bella Brewing, Bear Island Brewing, Meriwether Cider, Mad Swede Brewing, Split Rail Winery, Powderhaus Brewing, Highlands Hollow Brewing, County Line Brewing, Slanted Rock Brewing, Sockeye Brewing, Cloud 9 Brewery, Payette Brewing, Crooked Fence Brewing, The Ram, Cinder Winery, Mother Earth Brewing and Crescent Brewing.
Past food trucks include: Urban Smoke BBQ, Kanack Attack and B Town Bistro.
Tickets are availble through Eventbrite, or at the gate! Tickets get you a commemorative sample cup, wrist band, and a bunch of tokens to sample beer, wine and ciders.
Come and find us downtown! Frequently we pair up with local businesses and feature unique beers and samples.

Every year thousands of breweries compete for national recognition across nearly 100 styles of beers. Put on by the Brewer's Association, of which we have been members since before we opened the doors, this prestigious event showcases the pride and skill of American craft breweries.
Cloud 9 Brewery is right in there mixing it up with breweries hundreds of thousands the times of our size! Unfortunately, we have not been able to have a booth at this event to-date. We look forward to continued competition, growth and awareness of craft beer. Events like the GABF and 'For the Love of Craft' help small businesses achieve recognition and patronage, and we look forward to continued attendance.
For an example of how our beers do at competition, here is a quick image of three sets of judges notes on our 9 Grain Porter.
