From Backwoods Brewing:
Backwoods Brewing will be moving to Stevenson, WA. The move, which will occur in January, 2016 and the new location is exclusively for the production side of the company; the Backwoods Brew Pub will remain at its current location, in Carson, WA.
Their current in Carson facility is approximately 2000 sq ft., whereas the new space they’ll be moving into is 8000 sq ft. In addition, the new building will offer higher ceilings (approximately 24 ft), a custom drainage system, and custom electrical. Some of the immediate benefits are the ability to house their own canning line, add taller fermenters, store product more easily and have dedicated offices.
“We’ve experienced steady growth, especially in the last year, and we need a space that will accommodate that growth, with room for more expansion in the future,” said Kevin Waters, Brewmaster at Backwoods. “Having our own canning line in house, as well as bigger (80 bbl) fermenters, will help us with our turn-around time on beer and give us more freedom to work with the market’s growing demand.”
Tom Waters, brother of Kevin, and Head Brewer at Backwoods, added “This new facility is going to be prepped for a commercial brewery before we actually move in it, which is awesome. Our current building used to be a grocery store, so every time we added equipment, we had to knock out walls, dig out the floor, re-wire and re-pipe everything. It gets real old real quick! We won’t have that issue with the new space in Stevenson.”
