Fort Collins, CO
The tour begins with the founding of New Belgium Brewing Company in 1991, when Jeff Lebesch and Kim Jordan moved a basement brewing operation into a commercial venture. Visitors can observe the progression from repurposed dairy equipment to a full‑scale brewery housed in a former railroad depot and now operating on a 50‑acre sustainable campus in Fort Collins, Colorado. The experience includes a look at the company’s early Belgian‑style beers, the role of local community support, and the ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.
