Description
Boulder Brewing Company, later Boulder Beer Company, was the first microbrewery in the state of Colorado. Founded in 1979, the business had humble roots. Its founders brewed in a shed and built these wood crates to store and deliver their beer. The arrival of microbrewed beer to Colorado excited the beer world, whose luminaries flocked to sample Boulder’s work.
