Quality, Integrity, People, Community and Sustainability These are not just words, but a cultural lifestyle and commitment at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Our mission is the same as it has been since Sierra Nevada started in 1980 with a humble hand-built brewhouse - to produce and market the finest ales and lagers possible and to do it responsibly. Today Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is America’s longest-running craft startup, and boasts the number-one best-selling craft brand in the country—the legendary flagship, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. To this day, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. remains true to its roots. Our founder and owner is still personally involved in every aspect of brewery operation. Most importantly, the Sierra Nevada commitment to quality remains the same. Premium ingredients and time-honored brewing techniques make Sierra Nevada ales and lagers truly exceptional beers. Sierra Nevada strives for quality in everything we do. From pioneering new beer styles to innovating groundbreaking environmental initiatives, we take our time and look at every option to ensure the best possible outcome. This stubborn insistence on quality extends to our workplace environment as well. At Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., we recognize the vital role our employees have in the ongoing success of our company. As an employee of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., you will be challenged to perform at a level that meets or exceeds our high quality standards that our customers have come to expect from us.

New Belgium Brewing is a leading US premium adult beverage company, known for its iconic portfolio and Human Powered Business model. What started in a Fort Collins, CO basement in 1991, has grown into one of the most successful breweries in the country. Today, the business proudly brings brands to life like the innovative Voodoo Ranger IPA lineup, renowned Bell’s Two Hearted IPA and Oberon Ale, an award-winning wood cellar program, and innovation that pushes the category forward. At the center of everything is New Belgium’s Human Powered Business model. For more than three decades, we’ve led with the simple idea that people are at the heart of everything we do. Across all areas of our business, we consider the well-being of our coworkers, our customers, and our communities, and recognize the responsibility we all have to leave a lasting positive impact. This ethos has taken our company far. We expanded to Asheville, NC, in 2016, Daleville, VA, in 2023, and acquired Bell’s Brewery, in Kalamazoo, MI in 2021, and in 2025 took over the US production and distribution of Kirin Ichiban.

Our journey began with a 15-gallon soup kettle, a quest for better beer, and countless batches of homebrew. The passion and personality that began Bell’s continue today through our breweries and Eccentric Café. We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be deeply rooted in our community, committed to the environment, and brewers of Inspired Beer. While Bell’s remains independent in many ways, we joined forces with New Belgium Brewing in early 2022.
