In 1990, George founded the Flying Dog Brewpub in Aspen, Colorado.

When Nikki and Neil met, they came to realise they had some big dreams, Neil wanted to open a Brewery and Nikki wanted to figure out a way to help give back to her community of Upland that she has been a part of for 16 years. They put their heads together and came up with a plan to combine both their passions. After many sleepless nights of figuring out a name and mission that would represent both their passions, they came up with RESCUE BREWING COMPANY. The word Rescue for them represents all the FIRST RESPONDERS that run toward an event rather than away and put their lives on the line for a stranger or animal and they deserve to be recognised.

They brew a wide variety of styles ranging from traditional German styles to innovative modern IPAs, to barrel-aged creations. They use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and pride themselves on having a beer for every palate.

If you’ve read the beer trade press in recent weeks, you might have the sense that May was not a great month for the craft category. And, if your frame is scan data and your only comparison is 2020, you’d be right. That said, this is a reminder that 2020 was not a normal year, and so reporting scan data versus 2020 may not, in fact, really provide that much context for the beer category or sub-categories within the beer category.
