OUR STORY

Western Collective is for the risk takers and the adventurous; people who value experience and who are innovators and leaders. We choose to make a serious effort to be that in both our beverage and the community.   

The entire Western Collective project was created to flip the script on what normal meant. When we started there were already 10,000 breweries in the country and over 20 in Boise. We were joining a community of many, not a community of few. The goal was to build something that had never been seen before in Boise.

Opening its doors in 2018, Western Collective joined the Boise brewery scene with a bang.

We believe if you are going to do something, you should do it well. Do it authentically. And have fun while you’re doing it.

Our beer is great because we believe that when you get up every day, you should focus on being great at what you do. It takes just as much effort to focus on not doing things well as it does to focus on everything that is going your way.

A crucial tenet of the Western Collective philosophy is creating a place for radical inclusivity. Beer enthusiasts can enjoy craft brews, like our award-winning chocolate milk imperial stout, Hidden Lakes Express. Avid beer-avoiders can find something tasty, too, like our classic boozy slushes, handcrafted hard seltzer, and house wine. We always have options for our designated drivers, kids, and morning crowd with our full coffee bar.

Today, Western Collective is a destination for beer aficionados and slush lovers; for big families and first dates; for group meetups and solo remote workers.

We pride ourselves on being known for our over-the-top events. On Father’s Day, come visit crocs & lizards from the Idaho Reptile Zoo. Mother’s Day features a full bouquet-making bar. Ride a mechanical bull at our Anniversary Party each December!
