Description
During the presidency of Jimmy Carter, federal legislation legalized small-scale brewing across the country. In 1979, Inspired by this shift, two astrophysics professors at the University of Colorado started Boulder Brewing Company, Colorado’s first craft brewery. At the time, only 41 breweries were operating in the United States.
Boulder Beer operated their own taprooms in Boulder for over 40 years (1979-2020) and, while the Pub on Wilderness Place has closed, Boulder Beer Company Buffalo Gold Golden Ale, Sundance Amber Ale and Shake Chocolate Porter are now brewed exclusively at Boulder Social.
Boulder Social is drawing on decades of brewing and hospitality experience by combining owner Gina Day’s background in brewing with Boulder Beer Company, along with Brewmaster Rodney Taylor’s 20 years of brewing in Boulder.
The Boulder Beer Company legacy and passion for craft beer lives on!
“Taproom”: All beers brewed by Boulder Social (using the original Boulder recipes).
