The Falls Brewing Company opens new chapter with fresh ownership, local menu
IDAHO FALLS — The Falls Brewing Company, a local brewpub that previously operated as Snow Eagle, held a ribbon cutting Friday to celebrate its new ownership, a revamped American menu and a schedule of live music and tasting events. Carmen Peters and her husband, Chauncey Peters, bought the business with partners Dawn and Carrie Potter. The sale closed Sept. 30, and the four took over operations Oct. 1. Carmen Peters is a co-owner and the restaurant's manager. For the Peterses, the combination restaurant and microbrewery was an instant draw. Chauncey Peters has long brewed beer at home, and the pub makes its beers in house with grain from Idaho farmers, which fit the owners' goal of buying from Idaho businesses. Carmen Peters said she will concentrate on food, hospitality and events. "Bringing people together to create those moments over good food, good beer, good wine and good times is really my passion," Carmen Peters said. One of the largest changes for the restaurant and brewery is a pared-down menu with a focus on classic American staples. The owners dropped the sushi that was part of an eclectic lineup under the previous owners and narrowed the offerings to casual American dishes.
