Quality, Integrity, People, Community and Sustainability These are not just words, but a cultural lifestyle and commitment at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

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.

What started in 1996 as a small group of home brewers who simply wanted to make great beer evolved into the team of adventurers known today as Ballast Point. From bringing a hoppy twist to a porter, or adding four types of malt to its amber ale, to creating a breakthrough gold-medal winning IPA, the San Diego-based company is known for adding its own touch and asking if there’s a better way. Not satisfied with just brewing great beer, they got into the distilling business to see if they could add our own spin to another centuries-old craft. Today an internationally recognized leader in the craft brewing and spirits industry, the company makes over 50 styles of beer and bottles 14 spirits.
