New Belgium Brewing Company and Styrocore Expand Together

New Belgium LogoIncluded in the New Belgium Brewing Company's core values is producing world-class beers while transcending their customer's expectations and kindling social, environmental and cultural change as a business role model. Stresscon Corporation is proud to have been part of this outstanding, company's construction growth. When the original brewery was erected our precast/prestressed concrete insulated Styrocore wall panels were used on the plant portion. Likewise on the two additions Styrocore panels were utilized in the structure.



The majority of the Brewery's employees ride bicycles to work. New Belgium is the first wind-powered brewery in America. They continue to reduce energy requirements for the brewing process. New Belgium gives $1 per barrel annually to philanthropic causes. They take pride in recycling cartons, keg caps, amber glass, office materials and plastic shrink-wrap. Kim Jordan and Jeff Lebesch are co-founders and husband and wife. There received the Rocky Mountain Region Entrepreneur of the Year Award for manufacturing in 1999.

At Stresscon's Styrocore wall panel plant in Erie, Colorado there is no special vibrating equipment to insure good aggregate consolidation as in the architectural plant in Colorado Springs. The panel is strictly an industrial grade panel to be coated with a textured paint after installation. However, the Neenan Company chose to sand blast the wall panels on the site after they were erected. The finish is a light to medium blast just showing the aggregate. It is uneven and not the quality of a good architectural grade sand blast but it complements the rustic wood office building and works for this particular project.



A new addition is in the planning stage. It will be a new brew house for the popular Fat Tire beer. Styrocore panels are also in the plans for this new structure. The precast concrete panels are durable and maintenance free, which fits the philosophy of the designers and owners. Thanks for choosing Styrocore insulated wall panels. Stay tuned to this site and we will update you on the new construction.
