Idaho beer, Idaho roots
Grant and Kelli Lee started Two Saints Brewing Co. in St. Maries after graduating from college – he with degrees in fisheries and wildlife, and she with an art degree – and working for years in Olympia, Wash. The beer is sold regionally in the Panhandle.

The grain room of Two Saints Brewing Company is where the brewery’s hops, wheat, oats and barley are stored. The grains lighten or darken the company’s five signature beers, named after local landmarks.
Family owned and operated, with owner-designed and produced merchandise, Two Saints makes batches of beer five barrels at a time. The beer is canned and distributed locally from Coeur d’Alene to St. Maries and Avery in the form of cans and kegs.
