giving back to strengthen our community
At Payette Brewing, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are. We’re passionate about supporting our local community and beyond, whether it’s through our Kegs 4 Kause program, where 50% of Monday night Tap Room sales go to Idaho nonprofits, or teaming up with national initiatives like Resilience and Ales for ALS to raise funds for important causes, or volunteering our time to make our community a better place. We believe that great beer brings people together, and together, we can make a difference—one pint at a time. Cheers to supporting those who support us!
KEGS 4 KAUSE
Our community is the heart of Payette, and we’re committed to giving back. Since launching the Payette Forward Program in 2011, including our Kegs 4 Kause initiative, we’ve donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to over 200 local nonprofits.
Every Monday from 6–10 PM, we donate 50% of draft beer sales in our Tap Room to a featured Idaho nonprofit. Guests can enjoy a beer, hear the organization’s story, and support a great cause—because giving back should be as easy as raising a glass. Dogs, kids, and good vibes welcome!
Payette Forward IPA
A seasonal brew with a purpose—where the majority of proceeds from each batch supported a chosen Idaho nonprofit. In 2019, we expanded our impact, extending philanthropic donations beyond Idaho to national organizations close to our hearts.
RIDGE TO RIVERS ADOPTED TRAIL
Since 2014, Payette Brewing has proudly supported the Polecat Loop in the Boise Foothills Ridge to Rivers Trail System. Through our annual trail maintenance and drainage repairs, we #PayetteForward to help keep these trails in top shape for bikers, hikers, and trail runners.
The Polecat Trail, established in 2007, spans over 7 miles of winding single-track trails, offering stunning views of the Treasure Valley and Boise Ridgeline.
Getting our hands dirty and giving back to the trails we love is one of our favorite ways to connect with nature and the Ridge to Rivers community. We’re honored to work alongside the crew to preserve the outdoor spaces we all cherish!
OTHER INVOLVEMENT
We’re passionate about supporting organizations and initiatives that align with our values. From sponsoring the Idaho Trails Association, to partnering with The Nature Conservancy on conservation efforts, to amplifying the work of Idaho Rivers United, which has been protecting and restoring Idaho’s rivers and fisheries since 1990, we’re always looking for ways to make a difference. Payette Brewing was named, Business Partner of the Year by Idaho Rivers United in 2019.
In 2023, we released Trout Hero IPA, the first beer brewed with Trout-Safe certified hops and grains. This special release raised awareness for the Trout-Safe certification program, a collaborative effort by Salmon-Safe, Friends of the Teton River, Henry’s Fork Foundation, and The Nature Conservancy of Idaho—helping farmers and ranchers protect vital waterways.
