Twisted Pine Brewing Reopens In Boulder

BOULDER, CO — The Twisted Pine Brewing Ale House reopened Thursday after closing temporarily when the company's owners found out that an employee tested positive for the coronavirus.

The brewing company, at 3201 Walnut St. in Boulder, has been closed for the past week "in an abundance of caution," the company's president, Bob Baile, said in a letter to patrons.

"We very much appreciate the outpouring of support we’ve received from the community for the very difficult decision to close our Ale House, and we thank everyone for understanding that the health and well being of our staff members and guests is our top priority, and we are approaching our reopening with that as our guiding principle," Baile's letter read.

"We have undertaken a thorough cleaning of the entire space, conducted testing on all staff members, and continue to monitor all staff during our closure," Baile said. "Rest assured that we will continue to comply with all local and federal guidelines."

The company has been brewing beer in Boulder since 1995. While many businesses in Colorado have chosen to remain open after outbreaks among their employees, Baile said he wanted to "do the right thing" and close temporarily.
