Brewery Crew

Sawtooth Brewery has two locations in the valley. One is in Hailey, a taproom next to the brewery where you can often see the brew masters crafting the perfect beer and are tapping into the seltzer market. This is a great place to stop and catch a local band in the summer on the deck or grab a bite from the brewery food truck. The second location, The Public House in Ketchum, has a full kitchen and great indoor space. Come for the beer and stay for the delicious Public House menu.

Sun Valley Brewing Company

Another Hailey staple is Sun Valley Brewing Co. located right on Main Street. With 12 locally made beers, head there for a Happy Hour drink and stick around for a few. While you’re there grab a bratwurst plate or some hot wings to share. If the weather is nice sit out on the patio or grab a table inside to watch the brewers package the beer.

Warfield Distillery & Brewery

Warfield is a great spot for Beer lovers and Cocktail drinkers to collide.
