HIGHPOINT CIDER DOUBLES PRODUCTION
Highpoint Cider recently expanded its storage and production capacity by splitting a unit with Sego skis to store kegs and cans, acquiring another full 1500 square foot unit next to the taproom for final product storage, and adding 2 80 barrel fermentation tanks to double monthly production capacity. Alex & Andrew are also excited to announce that Highpoint Cider has brought on a full-time assistant cider maker, and will be available in Yellowstone National Park and Utah in the coming weeks!
Stop in for a fresh pint of cider at 7565 Lupine Ln in Victor. And mark your calendar for our June Chance Meetings at the same location, which along with Franco Snowshapes and Sego Skis, constitutes the Victor Makers Space.

GIVE'R TO EXPAND TO VICTOR AND CREATE NEW JOBS
After a decade in business in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Give'r will expand its operations to Victor, Idaho. Give’r has purchased a building in Victor that will allow for increased production and fulfillment of online sales. The new building is considered an expansion not a replacement, of Give’r Headquarters in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The expansion is planned to bring up to 50 well-paying jobs to Teton Valley by 2023.
Give’r was launched in 2012 by current CEO Bubba Albrecht and friends Carly Platt and Jed Mickle. Upon Platt’s and Mickle’s departures, Albrecht embraced being in the trenches before launching Give’rs record-breaking Kickstarter campaigns. Since then, Give’r has grown to over 25 employees and continues to release new products.
The expansion to Victor is a significant step towards the ambitious goals set by Albrecht and co-owner Bill Watkins to make Give’r a household name connected with longevity, inspiration, and creativity.
A participant in the inaugural Start-Up Intensive class and one of Silicon Couloir's first TEAMS program companies, we've been proud to support Bubba and his crew along the way.
