If you live in or have ever been to Colorado, one thing you may notice is that Coloradans love a good brewery. Colorado has boasted the likes of breweries such as Coors, New Belgium Brewing Company, Left Hand Brewing and Odell Brewing Co.
While Colorado has breweries in its DNA, beer sales are down and 41 breweries closed or left the state last year, according to a press release from the Colorado Beverage Coalition.
The Colorado Beverage Coalition said that 2024 was another challenging year for Colorado brewers. Beer sales are down by 3.2% which is higher than the national average that saw a 2% decrease in 2024, according to the Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division.
