Fort Collins Craft Brewer Opens New Bottling Plant
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) ―
Craft beer manufacturer New Belgium Brewing Co. opened a new $26 million packaging plant late last month that doubles its bottling capacity.
The 55,000-square-foot plant produces up to 850,000 barrels of beer a year, and has the capability of filling and capping 700 bottles a minute. The facility also has a number of energy-saving tools including skylights, a system for reusing water and an efficient heating-cooling system.
Based in Fort Collins, New Belgium is one of the largest craft brewing companies in the United States.
