Boundary Bay Brewery Heads To Colorado This Weekend
Ed Bennet, owner of Boundary Bay Brewery, is in Colorado this weekend for a beer loving getaway. He’s touring Boulder breweries today and has plans to hit up the official New Belgium Tour on Friday. I’m hoping he comes home with some great GREEN ideas from New Belgium…they are cetainly the leaders in brewery sustainability! While in Colorado, Ed’s also hoping to see Oskar Blues Brewery in Lyons. In 2002 they became the first US microbrewery to brew and can its own beer…thereby changing the way craft beer consumers perceive canned beer! Best of all, before Ed heads home, he gets to attend the Belgium party which is a sort of Who’s Who of the brewing world. If all goes as planned, this weekend in Colorado is a great chance for Boundary Bay Brewery, as a company, to connect with other craft brewers and to see great, living examples of breweries across the nation taking steps to create a more sustainable future for us all.
It is the ever increasing price of hops these days that are currently preventing us from bottling our Imperial IPA. It’s a favorite of all of ours…luckily you can still enjoy it at the brewery from time to time!
Hopefully Ed figures out how to bottle Boundary Bay Imperial IPA again in Colorado! I miss that beer being available in 22 oz bottles…
