Payette Forward program
Here at Payette Brewing, one of our biggest values is our involvement in the local community. We care about the beautiful state of Idaho in which we work, live and play. It is important for us to give back, stay involved and make an impact. We also would not be who and where we are today without the continued support from Idahoans, so we love to do the same and support those that are doing great things for our community! Hence, in 2011 the Payette Forward Program was born.
In 2019, we teamed up with Sierra Nevada Brewing and more than 1,400 other breweries to produce Resilience. As a result, Payette raised and donated over $10,000 in beer sales to help rebuild the communities destroyed in the deadliest wildfire in California’s history – The Camp Fire.
Also this year, we worked with our buddies at Yakima Chief Hops and Loftus Ranches in the Ales for ALS Program. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. For every pint of Ales for ALS Payette Brewing Company sold, $1.00 went to the ALS Therapy Development Institute. The funds were used in their mission to discover and develop effective treatments for people with ALS. At the end of that campaign, we donated $3,670 to their cause.
Because we believe in giving back locally as well as nationally, we remain committed to our Kegs 4 Kause Program. This is a unique, recurring event where every Monday evening, 50% of the proceeds from all beer sales in our Tap Room are donated to a featured Idaho non-profit. We encourage all beer-lovers to support non-profits in Idaho by tipping a glass with us on Monday nights.
We hope to see you all in our Tap Room enjoying what we do best!
It has been an honor to donate to the following non-profits through our previous years of Payette Forward IPA. Although this coming year will be a shift in the program, we look forward to all the non-profits we will be working with weekly through our 2020 Kegs 4 Kause and the coming years of more Payette Forward IPA!
2017 Payette Forward IPA beneficiary: Camp River Run

2018 Payette Forward IPA beneficiary: Agency for New Americans
The Agency for New Americans (ANA) is here to help refugees achieve self-sufficiency in their new lives by providing the skills, education, and support necessary during their resettlement period.
RIDGE TO RIVERS ADOPTED TRAIL
In 2014, Payette Brewing adopted Polecat Loop in the Boise Foothills Ridge to Rivers Trail System. We #PayetteForward with our annual trail maintenance and drainage repairs to help preserve the trails for all the bikers, hikers and trail runners.
The Polecat Trail system was developed in 2007 and contains over 7 miles of winding single track trails that offer outstanding views of the Treasure Valley as well as the Boise Ridgeline.
Getting our hands dirty is one of our favorite ways to give back and preserve the local trail system, which we all love to use, and get outside together with the Ridge to Rivers crew!
DONATION REQUESTS
We love to give back and support our community when and where we can, but at this time we are not providing donations outside of our weekly Kegs 4 Kause program. We receive a staggering amount of donation requests annually and wish we could commit to everything. We appreciate your understanding as we allocate our philanthropic charitable contributions towards our selected 2024 community sponsorships and non-profit partners.
