In 1993 the company again renamed itself as the Rockies Brewing Company. In 2005, the company again changed its name back to the Boulder Beer Company.
In January 2020 the brewpub closed but through a new partnership with Sleeping Giant Brewing Company in Denver, who will continue to brew, package and distribute the Boulder Beer brands to the retail market, the brand will stay alive.

Bottle from world of beer in Tampa. Pours cloudy with a nice head. Again just like hazed and infused a wonderfull aroma of hops and citrus. This has a better flavor to me though more malt profile in the backround with the same fresh malt taste. Very good!

Bottle from world of beer in Tampa. Nice light amber color with a white head, smells of hops and citrus. The flavor in this beer is great, tons of fresh hops and light citrus in the backround. A very refreshing and drinkable beer.

bottle - Pours near black with a one finger tan head. It has a roast malt and chocolate aroma. The flavor is of course of those big roast malts along with chocolate and a hint of oak. It’s well hopped and has a medium body. I really enjoyed this one.

12 oz. bottle from Wine Warehouse. Amber pour with a medium head and good lacing. Very spicy and leafy hop aroma with a slight sweetness. Bitter leafy hop taste with a caramel and grain finish. Slightly off balanced.

12 oz. bottle. Hazy amber pour, foamy white head. Smell is rather light on hops. But it’s all there in the taste. Plenty of grapefruitty Amarillo right off the bat. Yet malts are nice and sweet, giving it kind of a Ruby Red Grapefruit juice vibe. So despite the usual heaviness of the style, this goes down kind of light for the summer. Even a touch of flowers. Body is fully tuned to deliver a full IPA experience.

Amber, cloudy, with a loose head. Earthy nose with light citrus. Earthy taste, again with c-hop woodiness. Light, refreshing. Some light toast, caramel. Quite clean, finishing dry. Not bad, definitely not English, but a tasty brew.

2007 bomber from Uber and Enniskillen! Nose of caramel, fig newtons, and a flowery hop note; hazy rusty brown with a small beige head; flavor is light hop bitterness, brown sugar, and prunes and raisins; finish is slight brown sugar and hop bitterness. Decently good BW!

Draft at the brewpub, October 2007. An unclear golden beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of lemon zest as well as coriander. The flavor is very spicy with strong notes of lemon zest - too much for me, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Draft at the brewpub. A pitch black beer with a thin borwn head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt as well as strong notes of chocolate and light notes of alcohol that burns slightly in the throat, which surprises me at 5.5% ABV.

Draft at the brewpub. An amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of fruit - too light for my liking. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as light notes of fruit, leading to a slightly bitter finish. OK, but nothing special.
