Wallace Brewing Company is a 15‑barrel microbrewery perched in the storied streets of Wallace, Idaho. Its founders—Chase Sanborn, Dean Cooper, Rick Magnuson and the Zanetti family (who had been friends for years)—have turned the town’s mining and bordello past into liquid mythology. Every brew wears a badge of history: the smouldering 1910 Black Lager whispers of deep shafts, while RedLight Irish Red Ale tiptoes through the town’s racy reputation. The lineup is as varied as the local lore, and ciders flow on tap for those who prefer apples to ale.
The Orehouse Tasting Room at 610 Bank Street serves the beer like a showcase, offering 5‑ or 10‑beer flights that let you sample the whole saga in one sitting. Pets are treated like royalty, with puppy treats scattered around the room, and a nearby eatery supplies hearty bites that pair nicely with the robust flavors. In short, Wallace Brewing delivers craftsmanship with a wink, celebrating a rugged community without ever taking itself too seriously.
This brewery offers a unique theme and atmosphere, with a focus on local history, allowing customers to immerse themselves in the town's character. Amenities like flights and dog-friendly treats enhance the experience, while service is fast and friendly.
