Breckenridge Brewery Investigates “Alternating Proprietorship" To Stay In Colorado

Breckenridge Brewery announced a plan for expansion back in April, but that expansion required the assistance of Colorado's legislature.  After Colorado said NO, Breckenridge Brewery investigated moving their operations east to another state.  Now comes word that there may be a complicated middle ground that will allow them to grow in Colorado.  This from Westword:

Last Friday, the Colorado Department of Revenue approved a complicated plan that would allow Breckenridge to continue to grow in this state by using a provision known as an "alternating proprietorship." But the details of that plan are unwieldy, so the company still plans to fight the brewpub cap in the legislature, even though roadblocks there last spring left brewpub management confused and disappointed.

"We encountered unexpected and surprising opposition, opposition that I am still trying to make sense of," says Ed Cerkovnik, the president of Breckenridge-Wynkoop LLC. "It got caught up in politics...so when we take this back to legislators, we are going to do our homework and put ourselves in the best position to be successful."
