New Belgium Brewing, makers of Fat Tire Belgian Ale and a host of Belgian-inspired and hoppy beers, is the fourth-largest craft brewery in the country. Inspired by a bike trip through Belgium, New Belgium first began operations in 1991, with the vision of making world-class beers while minimizing its environmental footprint.
Today, New Belgium is a craft beer leader and strives to be a business role model with progressive programs such as 100% employee ownership, open book management and a commitment to environmental stewardship.
