Wilken said he’s had nothing but good feedback about his brewery plans, even from people at Alaskan Brewing Company, and Silver Gulch Brewery in Fox, who could be considered rivals. He said there’s a friendly atmosphere among many brewers who generally believe growing interest in craft beers helps boost everyone’s business.

Even before Hoo Doo opens, Wilken said he’s hopeful more will follow.

“I think there’s definitely room for a few more,” he said. “Really, it’s kind of like the more breweries the better.”
