Established in 2018, Red Boot Beverage’s Midwest facility has 350,000 square feet dedicated to the bottling and canning of carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. They are Iowa’s largest beverage co-packing company, known for excellent customer service, quality, and meeting delivery timelines. As a locally-owned company that cares about the work they do and the clients they serve, Red Boot proved to be the type of partner that makes our job so fun and rewarding.
When discussing the tank design needs for their 2026 facility and cellar expansion, Jim Kuhr knew exactly what he wanted and what Red Boot Beverage needed: Critical space and functionality guidelines, maximum efficiency and process times, and strict adherence to local/regional compliance. Using these three pillars of focus as our roadmap, we were able to marry industry standard feature packages with custom critical design insight that made for a highly functional, and aesthetically beautiful, facility upgrade.
400 barrel agitated brite tanks
The facility start up date was always a non-negotiable deadline for Jim’s team, and by maintaining ongoing communication with concise decision making, most unavoidable hiccups worked themselves out organically through discussions. Red Boot’s flexibility, partnered with their extreme knowledge of their operation, allowed Silver State Stainless to work to our design and fabrication strengths, creating a smooth timeline and complication free execution.
10,000 Gallon UL-142 storage tanks with secondary containment
When it came to storage of high proof ethanol, the inaugural ingredient for the bulk of mixed RTD beverages, safety and compliance cannot be overstated. Adherence to the highest compliance standard for above ground storage vessels (explosive and flammable products) was the only option for this facility from our first conversation. Tank-integrated secondary containment designs (UL-142) allow for the safe and practical storage of high proof spirits and allow all staff and community members to sleep well, knowing that in the event of an unforeseen catastrophe, the area remains safe and protected against critical worst case scenarios. Silver State Stainless is a premium manufacturer of UL-142 compliant storage vessels, a national standard aimed at uniform safety and full scope compliance in the safe storage of flammable products.
We thank Jim and his whole team at Red Boot for the opportunity to learn from their project management skills, and for the opportunity to share our craft at their facility.
Come visit Silver State Stainless and see what’s happening with all stainless steel tanks to wrap up the year. We will be exhibiting at booth 124 and would love to talk trends and future cost estimates based on the regional supply and domestic stainless material markets. We are also available to discuss designs, specifications, tank styles, and lead times for your 2026 plans. It’s been a hard year for rising costs in every industry, but with prices falling and material availability returning to normal levels, more and more projects are being re-established and jump started to take advantage of those advantageous trends.

Silver State Stainless recently installed a new fabrication framework at the facility in an effort to increase our share of the high-volume tank market. Our facility construction capacity has increased from 20,000 gallons to 40,000 gallons, meaning we are only volume limited by over-the-road transportation size restrictions at this point.
The new addition reduces facility lead times and lowers tank prices due to handling improvements, fabrication space, and efficiency increases for tanks of this size. The 50-foot frame was erected and installed by the Silver State Stainless team with hopes of increasing vendor diversity in the growing Pacific Northwest region while providing more options to California wineries who may be stymied by ever lengthening lead times from existing regional domestic tank suppliers.
The inaugural production run utilizing the new framework will be performed for Duck Pond Cellars and will include 40,000 gallon red wine fermenters delivering in July of this year.
