Fort Collins-based New Belgium Brewing and Elysian Brewing Co. of Seattle plan to share each other’s brewing facilities, creating a new model in the craft beer industry.
The independently owned brewers said the joint venture will increase efficiency and encourage creative experimentation.
New Belgium, maker of the popular Fat Tire and other beers, said it will use Elysian’s Seattle facility to brew small-batch creative and experimental beers.
Elysian will brew larger batches in Fort Collins, allowing it to more easily distribute it beers in new U.S. markets.
