Oral history interview with Alex Dwoinen and Mike Craft, 2019
New Belgium Brewing was co-founded in March 1991 by Jeff Lebesch and Kim Jordan after Mr. Lebesch took a bike trip to Belgium in 1988. Since it's opening in 1991, New Belgium has enjoyed great success and has continued to grow to have over 400 employees. In December 2012, New Belgium became a 100% employee owned company. Four years later in 2016, New Belgium expanded to the east coast, choosing Asheville, North Carolina as their new location. In their interview, Mr. Alex Dwoinen and Mr. Mike Craft discuss the history of New Belgium Brewing, the craft brewing industry, and the Asheville brewing community.
