Silver Moon Brewing To Consolidate its Brewing Facilities

Now in its 23rd year, Silver Moon Brewing will be scaling back its operations as it will close down its auxiliary production brewery that’s located in Redmond, Oregon. The Bend based brewer has operated this production facility for the past eight years and will now move all brewing operations to its pub brewery in downtown Bend.

Under the new arrangement, Silver Moon Brewing will continue brewing and growing distribution throughout the western United States by leveraging and expanding the original production facility in Downtown Bend. “The Bend facility currently allows for a good deal of capacity, and with some simple additions of tanks and equipment, provides us upside in what we’re able to produce for both the Oregon market and the additional states we currently distribute to,” said James Watts, co-owner of Silver Moon Brewing.

“We’re thrilled to be turning the keys over to Avid Cider, it’s been a fantastic facility for us, and allowed for our own growth and several contract brewing partnerships over the years” said Matt Barrett, Silver Moon Brewing’s co-owner. “With a lease renewal approaching, we had to make a multi-year decision, and this arrangement allows us to focus on our core strengths while also continuing to grow our distribution throughout the western United States. We’ve maintained two facilities for nearly 8 years, including the COVID era, and consolidating operations this year will lead to countless benefits for the business overall.”

The transition is expected to be completed by November 2023. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
