E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Green Earth Brewing Co. open for business in downtown Greeley

A new brewery that focuses on sustainability is open for business in downtown Greeley, after being in the works for a couple months, the Greeley Tribune reported on December 6.

Green Earth Brewing Co., 725 10th St., next to Zoe's Cafe and Events, had its soft opening earlier this month and will host a grand opening celebration on the weekend of Dec. 15. On Dec. 15, Green Earth will have Everyone's Table food truck on site, as well as Old Chicago pizza, according to owner Scott Pell. On Dec. 16, Rat's Woodwagon food truck on site, and customers can expect music to be playing all weekend.

All six of Green Earth's taps, which range from a signature black ale to a New England-style IPA, are available.

The brewery's hours are 2-9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and noon to 7 p.m. Sunday. It will be closed on Mondays.

Pell and his business partner and brother-in-law, Doug Hansen, signed their lease for the brewery in March. Green Earth Brewing's primary focus is on sustainability, and Pell said he hopes to eventually find a way to use solar or wind energy when brewing his beer on site.

The products in his beer, ranging from the barley to the hops, are from in state and mainly northern Colorado, leaving a minimal carbon footprint, he said in an earlier interview. Also, nearly everything in the building is refurbished or reclaimed.
