E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Black Bottle Brewery expanding in Fort Collins
Brewery news

Brewer Tom Moseman cleaned two of the new fermenters at Block Bottle Brewing on January 29 in Fort Collins. The 1-year-old brewery is expanding, according to The Coloradoan.

After a year in operation, Fort Collins’ Black Bottle Brewery is gearing up to start bottling its own beer after its latest expansion effort.

The city’s youngest brewery moved in seven new fermenters and five new bright tanks on January 28, more than doubling its production capacity.

The brewery is undergoing its third expansion since opening in December 2012.

“This will allow us to have more of our beers on tap more regularly,” said General Manager Steve Marrick.

“We only had so many fermenters before, so we rotated through them.”

In addition to increased production, the brewery will begin bottling, starting with its Liquid Metal Imperial Rye Stout, Minor Threat Imperial IPA and PDA Belgian Tripel.

“Hopefully we’ll have some of those rolled out in March,” Marrick said.

With the increased production and bottling to support expansion, Marrick said the brewery is now in talks with Denver distributors about bringing Black Bottle beers to southern Colorado and Wyoming.

Today, Black Bottle distributes beers in Northern Colorado and the Western Slope through Loveland-based High Country Beverage.
