A Colorado brewery said Thursday that it’s monitoring the water it gets from the city of Fort Collins to make sure residue from a deadly wildfire that blackened a northern Colorado river doesn’t befoul the taste of its beer.
New Belgium Brewing, the maker of Fat Tire beer, said so far there haven’t been any problems. Brewery chemists, however, will be keeping watch after identifying six compounds in Poudre River water that could cause problems. The river runs through an area where a June wildfire killed one person and destroyed more than 250 homes.
