J Wells Brewery
James Wells, original owner, and brewer, finely tuned his craft beers for years until forming J Wells Brewery, LLC in 2009. In 2012, the brewery grew again, moving to its current location at 2516 49th Street, Suite # 5, Boulder, CO 80301.
The equipment has grown as have we. The brewery is still considered a nano-brewery with a four (4) barrel brewing system and ten (10) fermentation vessels. Distribution continues to grow throughout the Front Range. The J Wells Brewery was purchased but still has the same great brewers. While Jamie Wells has moved on, the handcrafted small-batch beer continues today with the same brew-masters, just under new management. A new and exciting future has brought on excitement and new brews.
We will continue to brew your favorites that we are known for and consider our foundation and staple beers. We will be rotating seasonal favorites, introducing test batches, and creating new brews from various regions of the world. We now have 13 taps and a seasonal cask hand pull.
