USA & France: Outer Range Brewing Co. launching a new brewery in the French Alps

Outer Range Brewing Co., a prominent figure in Colorado's craft beer scene, has officially opened its doors in the French Alps, marking a significant expansion for the brewery, BNN Breaking reported on March 7.

Nestled at the base of Mont Blanc in Sallanches, France, the new establishment aims to blend the best of American and European brewing cultures, serving both the local community and visitors from nearby resorts. This move not only signifies Outer Range's growth but also its ambition to become an international mountain brewery.

Outer Range Brewing's decision to launch a second location in Sallanches was driven by a desire to immerse itself in the rich brewing culture of Europe while continuing to serve its loyal fan base back in the Rockies. By investing in identical brew systems for both locations, the brewery ensures consistency in its beer production, offering a mix of familiar favorites and new brews inspired by European techniques. The Sallanches location, with its 20,000 square feet of space and breathtaking views of Mont Blanc, offers an unparalleled experience for beer enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike.

The establishment of the French Alps location is more than just a geographical expansion; it represents a fusion of American innovation with European tradition. Outer Range Brewing has facilitated an exchange program for brewers from both continents to collaborate and share knowledge. This initiative aims to elevate the quality of craft beer by combining the best of both worlds. With a tap list that includes flagship brews and European-inspired selections, Outer Range is set to make a lasting impression on the global craft beer community.

Outer Range Brewing's grand opening in Sallanches is scheduled for April 20, 2024, inviting patrons to embark on a cross-continental beer adventure. The event promises to be a celebration of the brewery's commitment to excellence and innovation. With additional offerings like Nashville hot chicken from Chicken Scratch and coffee from Conflict Coffee, Outer Range is not just a brewery but a destination for those seeking quality and creativity. This expansion into the French Alps is a bold step forward for Outer Range Brewing, promising new possibilities for growth and collaboration in the craft beer industry.
