Starting life as one of many craft-brewing operations that grew from a basement operation into a full-fledged business, Fort Collins, CO-based New Belgium Brewing Co. has proven itself to be one of the few such businesses to have outlasted the initial craze over craft-brewed beers and transformed itself into a pre-eminent microbrewery with a devoted following among craft beer enthusiasts.
