No, it's not a merger, but No-Li seems to have found a short term fix for not having the space to ramp up their production the way they want, and it puts money in Orlison's pocket: http://www.spokane7.com/blog/2015/oct/23/can-do-collaboration/
Always interesting to see these partnerships. Maybe this will be one that actually goes well unlike most.
I was a little surprised that Orlison has that much room for contract brewing, given that they're now brewing draft only stuff for their taproom as well as their canned and bottled line.
Didn't realize that NoLi's production was that large. 10,000 bbl/year? That's gotta make them one of the larger breweries in the state.
Glad to see this collaboration. I was always afraid No-Li might be the next local brewery to get snapped up by one of the big guys.
You need to listen to John talk! He spoke at Gonzaga for an hour and I fell in love with his values. He'd be the last guy to sell out.
