Winds Coming
Soon To a Brewery Near You!
Livingston Will Have
a New Brewery in 2014
Livingston, MT will be home to a new brewery in the Summer
of 2014. Katabatic Brewing Company has begun renovations at 117 E Park St. and
the owners hope to be up and serving craft beer by May or June.
Katabatic Brewing Company was founded by two local
Montanans, both of whom are very passionate about crafting full-bodied beer and
building on the local beer culture based on Montana traditions. When asked
about the origin of the name, Brice Jones, co-owner, responds, "We wanted
a name that embodied the unique character of Livingston and captured the essence
of our tagline, Rugged, Yet Refined.
Katabatic is a type of downslope wind, which can be severe
at times. Katabatic winds form when cool air from the tops of mountains rushes
downhill, sometimes at amazing speeds. Katabatic winds are the type of winds
that Livingston experiences and one of the things that makes this town very
unique."
Renovations began about three weeks ago. LaNette Jones,
co-owner, is excited about the new space, "We have a great partnership
with the landlords, Eric and Caroline Schneider. They have started demolition
of the inside of the building and will be renovating the space to fit our
needs. Once the shell of the building is renovated, Katabatic Brewing Company
will take over and begin installing our brewing equipment and bar and making
the space our own."
Katabatic Brewing Company will house a 10-barrel brewing
system and the owners anticipate brewing 625 barrels of beer in their first
year of business. To put the number in perspective, 625 barrels equals 155,000
pints of beer. Beer will be served in the tasting room, where customers are
allowed to consume three 16 oz beers in a 24-hour period. Beer will also be
distributed in kegs to bars and restaurants in the region.
The tasting room will be open from noon-8pm. The owners will
focus on creating four to five signature beers that will always be on tap and
will have a rotation of four beers throughout the seasons. Katabatic Brewing
Company will be a production brewery only, which means it will serve only beer,
no food. "This gives us the opportunity to focus on making good
beer," said Brice Jones.
As the renovation continues, many people have already asked
how they can get involved. LaNette says, "When we started planning our
brewery we began to realize, Montanans take pride and ownership in their local
breweries. So we've created a way for people in and around Livingston to become
a part of helping us build the brewery. We have mugs and steins available for
purchase. The mugs and steins will stay at the brewery and will have each
owners name engraved on them. The ownership of the mugs and steins are for life
and give each owner a lifelong discount and opportunity to continually be
involved as we grow and make new beer."
A limited number of mugs (100) and steins (50) are being
offered now through January 31, 2014 at a discounted price. Mugs will be $250,
a savings of $50 and Steins will be $900, a savings of $100. Mug owners will
receive a $1 off each pint in each mug for life along with discounts on
t-shirts and hats as well as exclusive invites to special beer tapping events.
Stein owners will receive everything mug owners receive, but they will also get
three free pints each month for life, a limited edition Katabatic “Goldenstein”
and a member-only Goldenstein t-shirt. Mugs and steins are on sale now at
