Smoking River Brewing Co.

In 2013, on a late summer day after fishing in the Flattops Wilderness near Meeker, Colorado, brothers Kevin and Kristofer Borchard stumbled into a large wild hop plant growing along the bank of the White River. This first sparked his interest in determining whether hops could be grown on a larger? scale in the valley. When Kevin’s career took him to Boston, Massachusetts in 2014 he met and worked with Dan Ward, a native of Longmont, Colorado who was also familiar with Meeker. Together they developed a dream for growing hops in the White River Valley. In December 2016, they purchased land adjacent to the White River (also known as the Smoking River as named by Native Americans), selected a site for a hop yard, and the rest is history. Kevin, Kristofer and Dan have a passion for producing the highest quality hops Colorado has to offer.
In 2021 the Smoking River hop farm added a brewery taproom at which it showcases beers made with their fresh hops.
