After several trips to the New Belgium Brewery, Asher Brewing Company – which shares its name with my son – came across my radar. Asher Brewing Company will be one of the 19 Colorado based breweries participating in the 18th annual “Microbreweries for the Environment” at the Boulder Theater on April 23rd. The event has been added to the ever growing Green Events Calendar.

What makes Asher Brewing Company special is their entire line of brews. Every single beer they produce is certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture. Claiming to be Colorado’s first all organic brewing company, Asher Brewing is located in Boulder.

Asher Brewing Company began last November and for the past two months they have produced their organic beers. “At Asher Brewing Company our mission is operate a successful brewery that produces world-class certified organic ales, while utilizing environmentally sustainable and socially responsible business practices. Our brewery is run on 100% wind power!” They go on to cite a report that pesticides have a detrimental impact on the shelf life of beer. Who knew?

Their tasting room is open from 4-8pm on Tuesday through Friday and 2-7pm on the weekends. Visit them at 4699 Nautilus Court, Suite 104 Boulder, Colorado 80301.
