Colorado’s first craft brewery was established in 1979 when two professors at the University of Colorado received the 43rd brewing license issued in the U.S. At its inception, the brew house shared shed space with a few goats. After five years and the seal of approval from both consumers and the brewing industry for its line of bold craft beers, it moved to its current site in Boulder. Their creative team of brewers continue to usher in new flavors and new styles of beer, often times on the cutting edge of craft brewing trends. From Boulder’s award-winning Shake Chocolate Porter to Emergent White IPA, their history of innovation continues today with even more exciting new releases.
In addition to doing their part to save the planet one beer at a time, your favorite Beer of the Month Club gives a thankful pat on the back to the Boulder Beer Company for their efforts to keep our planet a happy place. They are leaders in finding ways to be eco-friendly in all realms, including using solar power, recycling, composting, high-efficient “everything”, printing, packaging — even transportation – the first Boulder business to adopt a city bike path!
