“There’s something wrong if making beer can’t be fun,” says Kim Jordan, CEO of New Belgium Brewing Company, the business she cofounded with her husband Jeff Lebesch in 1991. The idea for the company came to Lebesch while he was on a bicycle tour of Belgium, peddling his way through towns and villages that are famous for making superb, rich, boldly flavored craft beers. Inspired by his trip, Lebesch began brewing beer in his basement using dairy equipment that he modified for beer-making. Jordan became the tiny company’s bottler, sales representative, distributor, marketing director, and financial manager.
