New Belgium Brewing Company is a nationally distributed craft brewery based in Fort Collins, Colorado, United States. The brewery takes its name from the Belgian brewing tradition, acknowledging the influence and prestige of Belgian brewing culture as a commercial and creative foundation. Founded on a passion for cycling and craft beer, the company has grown from a small hometown operation into one of the most recognizable craft beer brands in the country. In 2023, the brewery was acquired by Asahi, the Japanese brewing giant, marking a significant milestone in its corporate history. New Belgium's portfolio is broad and well-regarded within the American craft beer scene. The brewery produces a diverse range of beer styles, with flagship brands that have achieved national recognition. Among its most iconic offerings are Fat Tire Ale, a balanced amber ale that helped define the brewery's identity, and Voodoo Ranger IPA, a hop-forward series that has become one of the best-selling craft IPA lines in the United States. The brewery also produces Mural Agua Fresca, a refreshing fruited ale that reflects its range and creativity across different beer styles. New Belgium has built a strong reputation for sustainability alongside its brewing output. The brewery gained recognition when one of its beers became the first certified carbon-neutral beer in the world, underscoring its commitment to environmentally responsible brewing.
