USA, ID: Highlander Beer expanding with a second location

Highlander Beer is expanding with a second location under construction in Salmon, Idaho, NBC Montana reported on January 21.

Highlander taproom manager Riley Egan says the brewery has been looking to expand into another market for some time now, and Idaho seems like the perfect fit.

Egan says the brewery has been looking to move into new markets after demand for their beer has been steadily increasing throughout the years.

The plan is for the new taproom to have the same feel as their Missoula location and also have similar food offerings like pizza.

Egan says Salmon residents seem excited for the new offering.

"Missoula is typically a shopping hub for Salmon, Idaho. So we see a lot of Salmon, Idaho, folks coming up to this area," Egan said. "They do their shopping and stop into Highlander. Once we figure out they are from Salmon, we start chatting with them. They are pretty excited to have a space just like this one down in Salmon."

Egan says they hope to have the new building finished in 2022.
